Bug#410144: knetworkconfmodule writes unreadable interfaces file
Subject: kcontrol: kcm_knetworkconfmodule writes unreadable interfaces file
Package: kcontrol
Version: 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5
Severity: normal
Using the KDE Network Settings control panel, change eth0 interface from
DHCP to Static IP. There is also a wireless eth2 on this machine using DHCP.
Disabled eth0 and created a Network Profile for the wireless connection eth2.
After applying the changes, the desktop became unstable and would not
restart properly (hangs) due to the loopback interface being down.
Error on ifup lo "/etc/network/interfaces:10: misplaced option"
"ifup: couldn't read interfaces file "/etc/network/interfaces""
Contents of file follow:
---begin interfaces file
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
allow-hotplug eth0
address 127.0.0.1 <-- line 10
netmask 255.0.0.0 <-- line 11
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.103
netmask 255.255.255.0
auto eth0
---end interfaces file
As soon as the address and netmask lines were moved to the section under
iface lo and saved, it came up automatically and things worked as expected.
Thanks.
