More information. Apparently, the system has gotten into a confused state: "initctl list | grep network" shows: network-interface (lo) start/running network-interface (eth1) start/running network-interface-security start/running networking stop/waiting
"ifup eth1" prints: Ignoring unknown inteface eth1=eth1 "grep eth1 /var/log/boot" shows: udev: renamed network interface eth0 to eth1 Again, this may be more of a cause than a symptom of the networking service refusing to start, and the error messages being really poor. This is on 10.04 LTS x64 with a very basic text-mode install -- service fails to start/stop/restart networking daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440179 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
