Public bug reported: The following tip may have become outdated:
You can edit your network configuration in /etc/network/interfaces and enable your changes by issuing the command sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart. I observe no such file in my system, but that might just be because of my local configuration. Online, I can see other people struggling with this, and cannot determine which is the correct truth. # Command is correct: This tip is still consistent with the docs at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConfigurationCommandLine # Command is incorrect: See the comments on this answer: https://askubuntu.com/a/444168/235107 "This used to work for older kernels. Now it seems that do not work indeed. Prefered ifconfig eth0 down & ifconfig eth0 up" It appears that `/etc/init.d/networking restart` logged a message similar to Running $0 $1 is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces" in 2010, per https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=565187 (which I found via https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/24i9bd/what_is_the_deal_with_etcinitdnetworking_restart/) ** Affects: fortunes-ubuntu-server (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2111756 Title: /etc/init.d/networking is no longer present To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fortunes-ubuntu-server/+bug/2111756/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
