[Bug 1301015] Re: Networking does not restart
Ubuntu 14.04 Server Not Rebooting (ifupdown network issue) It appears that with the latest bundle of Ubuntu updates, ifupdown breaks the server boot quite fantastically. Resolution 1: Change the order that the updates are applied in [1] BACKUP SERVER! [2] apt-get update [3] apt-mark hold ifupdown [4] apt-get upgrade -y [5] apt-mark unhold ifupdown [6] apt-get upgrade -y [7] Check that the server reboots correctly Resolution 2: edit your network interfaces file, specifically looking for incorrect commands: example: post-up ip6tables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules This is clearly not correct since it is attempting to load IPV4 tables to IPV6 routes and will result in a network failure, thus preventing booting of the server. [1] nano /etc/network/interfaces [2] Remove incorrect post boot commands, ie. post-up ip6tables-restore < /etc/iptables.up.rules [3] apt-mark unhold ifupdown (If you previously had the package on hold) [4] apt-get upgrade -y [5] Check that the server reboots correctly.

[Bug 1301015] Re: Networking does not restart
Seriously people, get over yourself. Here's what the init script did on restart: ifdown -a --exclude=lo $verbose ifup -a --exclude=lo $exclusions $verbose && ifup_hotplug $exclusions $verbose All the rest is message output, checking for /etc/network/options and other boilerplate stuff. That's exactly the same suggestion feliperechia made in #8 about 2 years ago. "Oh, but he didn't mention ifup_hotplug or $exclusions yadda yadda" Well, ifup_hotplug actually extracts a list of interfaces from the output of `ifquery --list --allow=hotplug`, checks they're physical interfaces and have physical link, and runs ifup for all of them. I sincerely doubt any of the "oh I screwed up and now have to take a 4 hour flight to the datacenter" are hotplugging their network interfaces. If your NIC is available on boot it should be set to 'auto' and will be picked up by `ifup -a`. No need for ifup_hotplug on headless servers. $exclusions is the EXCLUDE_INTERFACES parameter from /etc/default/networking. $verbose is either '-v' or empty. You probably don't use either. So yeah, `( ifdown -a --exclude=lo; ifup -a --exclude=lo) &` should work for everyone because that's exactly what `/etc/init.d/networking restart` did. Can we move along now?

[Bug 1301015] Re: Networking does not restart
'networking restart' was found to be able to to break some GUIs, as reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1072518 Apparently '/etc/init.d/networking restart' was bringing down entire desktop environment (obviously on desktop version of OS). It was reported for Ubuntu >=12. Also I've noted that the people there where mentioning frequently also Network Manager, so I can imagine that some faulty link between some GUI component and networking was introduced, which may lead under certain conditions to a crash (pls correct me if you went further in this investigation). So, disabling of networking restart seems to be quick workaround to overcome some bigger problem in GUI. Do not ask me why to do the same for the server OS. I can imagine that with introduction of Unity desktop (exactly starting from Ubuntu12) which is purely 'consumeristic' with all its blinking, jumping, scrolling semitransparent stuff, they did not manage to keep anymore well separated GUI from key system functionalities... I'm personally using Ubuntu 12 Server with Gnome 3 traditional GUI (w/o Network Manager) on my laptop for several years already, and '/etc/init.d/networking restart' did never brake my system. I'm running Ubuntu 12 server at several servers, and did never get trouble with networking restart. I've recently installed Ubuntu 14 server + classical Gnome 3 on one desktop, and after adjusting /etc/init.d/networking as suggested by Joshua (#33), and restarted it several times after - nothing bad did happen to the desktop GUI... It seems to be rather sad trend in OS developing when faults in GUI determines future of server OS. I want to believe that in the next future we will not need to reboot after every change in configs of Cups, Samba, Apache...

Is there really no better solution for this than ifdown/ifup ? What is the recommended method to restart all networking services, rather than a select interface?

Administrators who are used to the scripts can certainly continue to use them. We expect both systems to be able to run in parallel and work well together. It is expected that most user shell scripts from previous releases will still work. Red Hat recommends that you test them first."

[Bug 1301015] Re: Networking does not restart
The command in comment #8 *should* do this in a single exec resource: sudo ifdown --exclude=lo -a && sudo ifup --exclude=lo -a However, I have found this does not actually work either for any significant config change (e.g. IP address change, gateway change). In fact, the command above frequently causes networking to stop working in such cases. The only way I've found that works is to reboot the server; NetworkManager is not an option when doing text-based network config. Other distros using upstart do not seem to have this problem.

This is affecting me as well. I don't care about the bug/feature argument, but I know other folks are running into this in Puppet managed environments.

[Bug 1301015] Re: Networking does not restart
The other serious technical issue is that with "networking restart" no longer supported either an init.d or upstart, there is no way to address automated restarting any of the dependent network services that would normally be restarted as a group (like nfs). Any automated build process is going to need to deal with configuration of not only the interface devices (ifup/ifdown), but also the restart of dependent network services to ensure that they are all updated with configuration changes (that's the whole purpose of init.d, upstart and systemd - to control the management and boot order of services and network dependencies, including the restarting of them). I understand that Ubuntu is moving to systemd in future releases, but that isn't available in any of their current "LTS" releases and enterprise environments cannot move major infrastructure to another OS release that only has a 9 month support window. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is going to be the major OS release used in enterprise environments till April 2019 - networking can't be left unsupported in both init.d and upstart until 16.04 comes out. With 10.04 LTS EOL shortly, this needs to be addressed rather than forcing enterprise institutions to update only to 12.04 LTS which expires in 2 years.

[Bug 1301015] Re: Networking does not restart
I would like to "officially" request escalation of this issue up to next level of Ubuntu support - it is currently listed as "confirmed", "high" and "unassigned". Ubuntu 10.04 LTS is very soon EOL, and this functional requirement is currently removed from the current LTS version with no migration path in place. It has been flagged as a "hot" item for over a year and seems to be being ignored by Ubuntu development staff for what seems to be ideological reasons. /etc/init.d/networking has been an essential method for anyone doing large scale headless server deployments to generically handle scripted network management of physical and virtual servers. In these environments, individual hosts could have completely different network interfaces on every individual machine. "Anyone", in this case also includes the authors of officially deployed deb application packages delivered with Ubuntu 14.04 that currently don't work... This bug breaks cloud deployments of Ubuntu in Opennebula as delivered natively in deb's with Ubuntu 14.04. The network contextualization scripts delivered in opennebula-context_4.2.0-2_all.deb use "service networking" to dynamically assign virtual machines IP addresses on the fly at boot time.Without a fix, no Ubuntu 14.04 VM's running in an Opennebula Cloud can get an IP addresses - this has been the case since the OS version was released. How many other network related applications are impacted by this change that were never tested for removal of this functionality? As an organization that is focused on supporting virtualization and "cloud" server infrastructure (as opposed to only GUI desktops and phones), I would have expected development staff to have a better understanding of the impact of this type of issue and would have given it more attention than it has - or at least develop alternate functionality that meets the same functional requirements. #last lines of /etc/one-context.d/00-network as delivered in Ubuntu 14.04 opennebula-context_4.2.0-2_all.deb # ifup/down eth0 won't work - the virtual machine can have any number of dynamically assigned # interfaces at boot time ...

Turns out this was not the cause of failing network start after hibernation resume (see comment #26).

So if now Ubuntu is abandoning the init script (controllable with the `service` command) in favor of ifup & ifdown, it is bound to break that again in the upcoming releases in favor of `systemctl`, unless as I mention the upstream changes mind or Ubuntu decides to stick with Upstart after all.

Server admins have been restarting networking with init scripts for many years, and for me personally it was rather disturbing to find this no longer works -- as well as to read some of the comments here.

Anyway, ifdown & ifup do not work unless you configure the network manually: ifdown: interface eth0 not configured while ifconfig up & down do, so I would change the error message: sudo ifconfig eth0 down && sudo ifconfig eth0 up "This was never a supported way to bounce the network, starting with 14.04, we changed the init script to fail rather than possibly trash your machine." This doesn't seem like a solution to me: it was not supported, but it was still working in many cases. Now it doesn't work, ever.

[Bug 1301015] Re: Networking does not restart
I've added the following file: /etc/network/interfaces.d$ cat lo1.cfg auto lo1 iface lo1 inet loopback address 127.0.1.1 netmask 255.0.0.0 How do I get it to take effect if not `restart networking`?

It seems this was actually changed as of Ubuntu Saucy 13.10, as restart --system networking and /etc/init.d/networking both failed... At this point, its faster/reliable to reboot my machine (10 seconds), than it is to open a terminal, and "ifdown --exclude=lo -a && sudo ifup --exclude=lo -a". init.d has always worked, including the many custom embedded Linux machines I develop for.

[Bug 1301015] Re: Networking does not restart
Regardless of whether it's officially supported or not, the method did solve a lot of problems in one command. The only times it has caused issues for me is when I have tun devices created by other services. In general, I feel a better solution would be to have the networking only restart those adapters which it controls (seen in /etc/interfaces).

[Bug 1301015] Re: Networking does not restart
ifdown/ifup requires that every interface be detected before hand and restarted individually on multi-homed hosts and hypervisors. For hypervisors in a cloud environment this includes virtual bridges as well. The init script method available till this release of the OS allowed restarting all interfaces and bridges on any host via a single command remotely.
