I am also stuck on this problem. I installed 10.04 LTS x64 in a basic (text mode) install on a VMWare vCenter virtual machine. The initial machine works. When I clone this machine, and boot the clone, the clone does not get working networking. As part of trying to diagnose/fix this, I'm running into the same problem with cryptic error messages.
I *think* it has something to do with trying to run these commands while something in networking is still trying to start in the background, because waiting for five minutes and re-trying, I get another message (about eth0 not being a recognized interface) -- service fails to start/stop/restart networking daemon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/440179 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
