[Bug 184711] Re: network-admin error: The interface does not exist
I don't think we can close the bug because it was confirmed on the upstream report to be still present in 2.28.0. No code changes have been made since then, so the bug is still here. Sure, network-admin is no longer shipped by default, so that's less of a problem, but from the POV of this tool, it's still a bug. If one day we decide to kill network- admin, then we'll close all of those bugs at once. -- network-admin error: The interface does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

In Jaunty (9.04) the Configation button has disappeared in system > administration > networking tools > Devices > Configuration so no: there cannot be any problems with that anymore in jaunty. With "Edit Connections" in NetworkManager Applet 0.7.0.100 I have not experienced these problems.

[Bug 184711] Re: network-admin error: The interface does not exist
Pedro, I think the correct status for this is Confirmed. I believe all the triage has been done. When can we expect a fix for this? I just installed the newest version of Ubuntu and this issue is still lingering. I'd expected this would have been on the Top 100 list for usability fixes in any new release. Question for you though, is there a workaround? Something we can do to enable the "configure" button? I noticed the same behavior is present in the Network Tools app from the Administration menu. The only place I can get anywhere is with the Network app and using the Unlock function. That's really not a workaround as you can't do any MTU modifications or any other advanced network admin from there so we're stuck hunting for terminal commands. Looking forward to a speedy closure for EVERYONE.

[Bug 184711] Re: network-admin error: The interface does not exist
I see the same here.
I would add that system > administration > network works.
The only thing that doesn't work (at least here) is gnome-nettool, either
command line or as in
system > administration > network tools > {Select interface} > {Configure
button>}
It then yelds the infamous "The interface does not exist".
As a side note, I think there is something strange in the interface handling
logic when one changes the NIC, anyway. This might or might not be related to
the bug we're talking about, but the contents of /etc/network/interfaces
after a NIC change doesn't seem to be what it should be, and it takes a few
reboots (with the machine coming up with no interface at all) and manual fixing
of the /etc/network/interfaces fix before things get back to normal, and
stable. When the machine comes up with no interface at all, I see that
something has removed all but the loopback device from /etc/network/interfaces.
I'm trying to understand what goes on there.
Might also be related to what udev does: I've noticed that if I manually load
my enet driver at early boot (i.e. while still in initramfs), it appears as
eth0. While when the machine is done booting, i.e. after the root partition has
been mounted, it appears as eth1.
What I'm seeing when performing a NIC replacement might also happen when using
two alternative ways to access the network, like a wired connection and a WiFi
one used alternatively.

Re: [Bug 184711] Re: network-admin error: The interface does not exist
Did you try to run 'network-admin' directly as a non-root user without any options? * If I run as root with 'gksudo network-admin', the window comes up grayed out; I can't unlock it; and there's an error reported in the CLI: "Unable to lookup session information for process" (IMO, the GtkComboBox error is irrelevant). * If I run 'network-admin -c eth0', it goes straight to a message box saying "The interface does not exist...", but there's no "Unable to lookup session information..." error in the CLI. * If I run " gksudo 'network-admin -c eth0' ", I get both errors, and the message box window for "The interface does not exist" is using the GTK theme of the root user, which is very different from my user theme on purpose to know when a window is running as root. * When I click the 'configure' button in gnome-nettool, I get the same two errors on the CLI, and the error message is also a root window. I think gnome-nettool is simply calling 'sudo network-admin -c INTERFACE', which no longer seems to work -- doubly. * If I run just 'network-admin', the window loads normally; I'm able to unlock it, select an interface and configure it.

Variant here: Running Hardy. I needed to change from 100MBps to 1000MBps. Shutdown, replaced the Intel Pro/100 NIC (removed it) for a Pro/1000, fixed the DHCP so the machine kept the same IP. At reboot, the machine had detected the new NIC and assigned it to eth1. The network worked. But the "Configure" button in Networks Tools behaved as reported here. Incidentally, /etc/network/interfaces was still referencing eth0. Changing it to eth1 didn't make anything better (even after a reboot) - at least anything obvious. I manually put eth0 back in interfaces, shutdown, removed the Pro/1000 for the original e100b NIC, fixed the DHCP server accordingly: The machine went back to using eth0.

While I am experiencing the same issue as the others here, I am more interested in another aspect of the problem. Specifically, the error message given does not give any information about the actual issue - it indicates something was typed, but nothing was typed. It does not indicate what was typed. It does not indicate what interface doesn't exist. I've attempted to check the system logs for more information, and found nothing. Error messages should give advanced users information to facilitate their efforts to resolve the issue. Generally, it is very easy to do so - most of the time, the code throwing the error has additional information which would make sense to tell the user.

[Bug 184711] Re: network-admin error: The interface does not exist
Update: I was able to the the "Network" GUI to work. It did write the the file with the extra line "auto eth0" at the end (not something I've seen in online examples). That said, ifup and ifdown still don't work and "Configure" from the "Network Tools" interface still does not see the interface. I may have a been a bit harsh above but it stills seems quirky with changes to something very basic. If "auto eth0" has always been required, someone please let me know. -- network-admin error: The interface does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 184711] Re: network-admin error: The interface does not exist
I'm having the same issue. ifup and ifdown also do not see the interface either. ifconfig eth0 up|down both do work (this hits the kernel directly so it's not surprising). I'm a newbie to debian and just converting from RH/Fedora but I noticed the /etc/network/interface file does not contain a reference to eth0, only the loopback. All reference on the web point to this as the place to configure interfaces. Apparently this text file is not used any more. If I add anything to to the text file (including iface eth0 inet dhcp which should configure it for dhcp), the interface no longer works and the GUI disables the "Configure" button. I'm a bit upset that they changed something as basic as how networking configuration is persisted. This only has the purpose of selling support and training. It provides no value (in fact a great disservice) to the end user community. Now everything on the web regarding how to setup network is invalid. To boot the GUI tools don't actually work increasing the likely hood of folks purchasing support. This is the same kind of scam Fedora/RH are engaged in and why I thought I would look for a new distro after 10+ years of loyalty. (That and the fact upgrades have become a major pain.) Maybe Ubuntu is not right disro either. -- network-admin error: The interface does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 184711] Re: network-admin error: The interface does not exist
Same problem here but for my wifi interface, Just upgraded from Gutsy, and found a bug, it couldn't associate to a wpa secured network. Trying to resolve it I removed network-manager from the system (didn't know it was a known bug) because I could associate and after some seconds the wifi automagically dissasociated... Thought there was a process changing my terminal settings Then I found it was a known bug -> 190968 and reinstalled network-manager. Now my error message in network manager is: "The interface does not exist Check that it is correctly typed and that it is correctly supported by your system.", another known bug -> 184711 #lspci -v 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 1001 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 218 Memory at fe0ff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Capabilities: #uname -a Linux juriona 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 13:23:42 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux # lsmod |grep iw iwl394589844 0 iwlwifi_mac80211 219108 1 iwl3945 cfg80211 15112 1 iwlwifi_mac80211 -- network-admin error: The interface does not exist https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/184711 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
