Title:
No way to stop/start networking without network management
Status in ifupdown package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in ifupdown source package in Precise:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
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.

. . . There is no way to stop/start a [networking] service:
root@quimerix:~# status networking
networking stop/waiting
root@quimerix:~# start networking
networking stop/waiting
root@quimerix:~# stop networking
stop: Unknown instance:
root@quimerix:~# stop networking
stop: Unknown instance:
root@quimerix:~# start networking
networking stop/waiting
?????????
And the old but working /etc/init.d says
root@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.
