Re: [PLUG] Ubuntu 16.04 upgrade problem

[Eric Lucas <eric@lucii.org>]

Eric, given that dhclient still restores the connectivity, I'd guess that it did not not really switch

to static networking?

Because it's using systemd - I have to bow out.  The last Debian/Ubuntu system I set manually

was, um, 3 or 4 years ago.  That was with help. There are experts here on the list and

various Internet sites that have forgotten more than I know :-(

Best of luck

Eric

Eric,

Just tried that. Did not work. Funny thing is dhclient release and renew still brings the network back.

I might have been wrong about needing to start network-manager manually. Now I just need to do a release and renew with dhclient.

Thanks,
Eric

For a quick workaround try setting it up with static network addressing and see if that works and is stable.

All,

 

Poor timing on my part. I donated a computer to a senior center, and just upgraded it to 16.04. I am running into a problem, and about to leave town.

 

The upgrade indicated that it had a problem and needed to roll back, however after I rebooted at the end it was showing the OS as 16.04. The problem is that the networking is not coming up automatically. I can start it manually with

 

service network-manager start

dhclient –r

dhclient

 

Additionally, if I use settings | network and turn the network off and on, networking will again stop working, however network-manager is still working, because at that point, if I just release and renew dhcp (dhcient) then the network will come back. I can try setting a fixed ip address, but I do not think that is going to work because network-manager is not coming up.

 

I need at least a quick work around. Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Eric
