Public bug reported: Ubuntu Server 12.04 ifup hangs when trying to start interface (only when using dhclient) ifdown is complaining that interfaces is not in '/run/network/ifstate', and so refusing to stop it. BUT worse ifdown eth2 will shutdown eth0, and so I lose connection over eth0 SSH. After reboot, server cannot setup network.
Problem lies when ifup is forking to dhclient and it gets also messed up with is '/run/network' files. When using only one interface everything works fine but when two or more interfaces are setup it becomes buggy, for now I replaces ifup with ifconfig in '/etc/init/networking.conf'..... ** Affects: apt (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1041356 Title: ifupdown not working when multiple interfaces To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/1041356/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
