@Dimitri: This is actually not entirely a dogma any more. If we teach networking.service's ifup/ifdown calls to add --no-loopback then this should by and large do what you expect. I'm not sure how evil/destructive it actually is to restart "lo", at least in a VM it seems to survive reasonably well.
But indeed networking.service belongs to ifupdown which will only deal with "auto" interfaces, so the original bug is still invalid. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1556140 Title: Restart Network service no Ip address was set on interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1556140/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
