I've just discovered after installing Ubuntu 12.10 that there seems to be new device names for eth0...ethX.
However, I haven't managed to find any documentation that explains the new naming convention in Ubuntu. Can someone explain what p25p1 actually means and what advantages it has over eth0..ethX?
An interface was added to this Fedora Core 17 system long after installation and it got a weird name and it's driving me insane. A new naming convention was introduced in FC 15.
The official rules for changing its name are described here: RedHat Consistent Network Device Naming Notes
However, MY system doesn't appear to follow the rules!
As everyone has figured out by now, Fedora is using biosdevname to totally mess up the network device naming.
Hi all-
I have a soekris net6501 with 4 x e1000e interfaces and a card with two r8169 interfaces.
Fedora 17 installed fine, but the network device renaming sometimes just fails on bootup -- I usually get this which makes sense with the new consistent network naming stuff:
p1p1 - e1000e 1st port
p1p2 - e1000e 2nd port
p2p1 - e1000e 3rd port
p2p2 - e1000e 4th port
p3p1 - r8169 1st port
Fedora 15 brings KDE 4.6, GNOME 3.0, Xfxe 4.8, Firefox 4, LibreOffice 3.3, dynamic firewall, improved power management, consistent device naming scheme, systemd, and much more free and open source software
"After months of development, Fedora 15, codenamed "Lovelock" has finally been released today." Highlights of this release include restart-free firewall configuration, a switch to Gnome 3, LibreOffice, PowerTOP 2.x and systemd, "Consistent Network Device Naming", and... Rupee symbol support for Indian users.
Hi,
I am installing a new RHEL 5 application server containing JBOSS along with other specific 3rd party applications.
Linux supports SCSI, IDE and old floppy based tape devices. Each device has unique name just like hard disk drives.
Is there a naming convention in Linux when it comes to application icon filenames? What I'm referring to is the practice of including the icon size in the filename if the application uses multiple icon files (PNGs, for example) for different views (desktop, lists, menus, etc.).
OS X has the icon_16x16, icon_32x32, etc. convention, so I'm wondering if there's a similar practice in Linux.
