network problems
Booted up my Sid partition this morning and found the network failed
to initialize. A message during boot said something to the effect
auto lo had been declared twice in /etc/network/interfaces and then
that the same file was unreadable.
Snooping around I commented out what appeared to be the only auto lo
line.
This is what the file looks like now:
# 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
iface eth0 inet dhcp
I followed this with "ifup etho" and the network
came up.
What I find strange is there didn't seem to be two lines declaring
"auto lo" and that commenting out the only line I found solved the
problem.
These are the changes apt-get made yesterday before this problem
surfaced..but to me it doesn't seem any of the packages would
change networking
Will install 36 packages, and remove 2 packages.
55.7 MB of disk space will be used
