If network-manager is installed, it will bring up the loopback device on it's own. Or do you have network-manager installed but disabled from starting? I believe that the network-manager postinst script must consider continuous lines in the /etc/network/interfaces file. can you send me an exact copy of the file (including the backup file /etc/network/interfaces.bak-0) please. thanks -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth? signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hi, On Mon, 07 Feb 2011 06:37:27 +0100 bi...@debian.org (Michael Biebl) said as follows: This causes that a loopback device is disappeared for squeeze system, because this /etc/network/interfaces file is syntactically broken. If network-manager is installed, it will bring up the loopback device on it's own. Or do you have network-manager installed but disabled from starting? Exactly, the loopback device exists, but, it has no correct address as follows: $ /sbin/ifconfig lo loLink encap:Local Loopback LOOPBACK MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Therefore, generic programs does not work because they expect the loopback address has the address 127.0.0.1. I believe that the network-manager postinst script must consider continuous lines in the /etc/network/interfaces file. can you send me an exact copy of the file (including the backup file /etc/network/interfaces.bak-0) please. I attached it at the end of this message. Regards, -- TSUCHIYA Masatoshi # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
