Made slight change to /etc/network/interfaces and system won't boot GUI correctly

linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I have a completely down server at this point. I am new to linux and brought up a server on ubuntu 12.10. I wanted to try KVM so I setup /etc/network/interfaces correctly for a bridge. As I learned a little more about the networking tools, I decided to use ethtool to change the speed of the bridge. I happened to place the ethtool command in the wrong location in the file and now the entire server boots to a screwed up GUI and I don't know how to recover. I could reinstall the server but I am really tired of doing that with ubuntu. I think the problem is that ubuntu doesn't like my Radeon (HowTos)

I am trying to set up two virtual network interfaces on Ubuntu server 10.04.

I want to be able to have 2 hostnames resolve to my machine on my school's network.

I have Ubuntu 11.10 64 bits with one (actually two, but only one is connected) Intel 82578 Gigabit Network Card which is working on 100 Mbps and I want it to work on 1000 Mbps, but I can't.

All,

I have an Ubuntu 12.04 AWS (Amazon Web Services) AMI that is experiencing slow network transfer (I am using a c1.xlarge instance type). If i pscp up some files to the server I get a network speed of 10mbit. If I backup data from a Windows Server to the Ubuntu server I also get 10mbit. If I copy data from between Windows Servers (of the same instance type) i get 1gbit+.

I'm trying to set up a server to have one network card using DHCP, and the other using a static IP, but when I run:

Code: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart to bring up the network interfaces, I get an error:

Code: SIOCADDRT: No such process Failed to bring up eth1 Here's my network interface file from that system:

I have an Ubuntu Server machine which is acting as a VM host for KVM guests made with vmbuilder. I want to expose the VM's to the network. Currently, the VM guest can get out to the network, and I can get in to the VM from the host, but I can not access the VM from the outside.

On the host, I have set up a bridge br0 which includes the physical interface.

Hi,

I would like to know after the installation of vio server. how many logical network interfaces will be created on vio server if I am having two physical interfaces on vio server.

I am asking this question because I would like know to on the basis of logical network interfaces creation on vio server, I have to create and configured vio client.

wheather any ratio is there?

Good Afternoon,

I have a static IP setup for eth0 via the /etc/network/interfaces file. In gnome the same static IP got configured for eth3.

This is causing an IP conflict that causes the box to not be reachable from my remote location once Ubuntu desktop (gnome) has started.

Is there any way to change this configuration without having to boot into Gnome itself to do it?

Hi guys,

I'm a linux newbie, trying to set up a server with a wireless connection. I'm using Ubuntu Server 12.

I installed the driver for my DELL1450 wireless stuff with ndiswrapper and it works. Actually, I worked with the wireless yesterday and it worked. After that, I took my laptop to another place, and there it didn't work! I did a whole lot of things to try to get it working.

I'm having trouble getting IP forwarding going in Ubuntu 12.04 server with UFW. I'm trying to get OpenVPN working.
