Public bug reported: Hi,
Converted from question to bug, from https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-nettool/+question/130070 I want to remove all network management related packages and keep only a dhcp client (preferably pump). In plain Debian, I just need to properly config /etc/network/interfaces, then /etc/init.d/networking restart Vola, I'm done. But there is no way in Ubuntu to stop/start networking. /etc/init.d/networking restart * Reconfiguring network interfaces... Operation failed. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ssh stop/waiting ssh start/running, process 19500 [ OK ] At some previous moments, it was working before, and I cannot bring the networking to a full stop then start again. Reposting comments from other bug reports, because I'm still getting the same results in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick. === From https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/430883 . . . There is no way to stop/start a [networking] service: r...@quimerix:~# status networking networking stop/waiting r...@quimerix:~# start networking networking stop/waiting r...@quimerix:~# stop networking stop: Unknown instance: r...@quimerix:~# stop networking stop: Unknown instance: r...@quimerix:~# start networking networking stop/waiting ????????? And the old but working /etc/init.d says r...@quimerix:~# /etc/init.d/networking start Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8) utility, e.g. service networking start Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start networking networking stop/waiting So explain me how its supossed that i can restart a [networking] service? === From https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbase/+bug/492160 . . . I cannot start my network: $sudo service networking restart restart: Unknown instance $sudo service networking start networking stop/waiting $sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart (ifconfig does not show eth0 interface) $ping www.google.com ping: unknown host www.google.com $sudo ifup eth0 (ping works) Bottom line: No configuration will automatically start the network--I have to manually run "ifup" to get the network to start. ** Affects: gnome-nettool (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- No way to stop/start networking without network management https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663352 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
