[ubuntu] etc/network/interfaces file editing

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, Basic question, but hoping someone can help me out. I have edited a file in /etc/network, which is interfaces. When I pull up the file using gedit or nano the changes are shown in the file that is displayed. However when I look at the file in unity, there are no changes showing, also when I try to change the file in unity, it says I do not have permissions (I already changed permissions to make changes). Are there two files in /etc/network that unity only shows one? Also, if changes are not permanent, why has the file changed in the past (before I made changes and it permanently (Hardware)

Stories similar to [ubuntu] etc/network/interfaces file editing

I have the following problem. On Unix server (CentOS 5.5) a number of users belonging to the same group have access to the same files (via ssh). After one particular user (let's say usera A) has edited the file the file owner is changed to A, the group (G) and the permissions (0664) remain intact. Once a second user (B) tries to modify the same file he is not allowed to do so.

My question is similar to Find out which process is changing a file , but i need something more.

Hi All,

I have an ftp process that is connecting to a Solaris server and pushing files into a directory. The default file permissions are rw-r--r-- . I want the file permissions to be rw-rw-r--. How can I configure the directory so any file created there will have the permissions rw-rw-r-- ?

Thanks

*Note the permissions on the directory are drwxrwxr-x

Hi,As much as I like Unity, I'm just not quite sure about the dissappearing Application file menu. I mean I don't really follow the logic is one supposed to memorize what drop down menu's are available for each application, until mouse overing the global menu?either way I'd like to know if it is possible to make the file menu's permanently visible for all applications that use the global menu?

I'm helping a friend with a fresh install of Mythbuntu 12.04.

He got it all installed, and had Mythweb working, with the DHCP network settings. The network address he was getting via DHCP was 192.168.0.177. He wanted to have his box using a static IP address so I edited his /etc/network/interfaces file to set eth0 in static IP mode - 192.168.0.177. That part seems to work ok.

Code:   GNU nano 2.2.2                      File: /etc/network/interfaces

# This configuration file is auto-generated. # WARNING: Do not edit this file, otherwise your changes will be lost. # Please edit template /etc/network/interfaces.template instead.

auto lo iface lo inet loopback         address

When I boot, I get the error message waiting for network configuration, then waiting an additional 60 seconds for network configuration.

I had edited /etc/network/interfaces file before the above message, so as to surf through a friend's laptop using Ethernet cable; then, after restoring the file, I still get the same message.

First of all I have two virtual machines (Ubunutu 64-bit) running on Oracle VM Virtual Box.

Hey all,

I'm having a really odd issue.

I just upgraded my 11.11 server to 12.04, by performing a clean install.

I edited my /etc/network/interfaces file to the following:

Code: # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
