2010-07-22 13:28:31 Colin Watson description Binary package hint: ifupdown I apparently made some mistake in /etc/network/interfaces. When I rebooted, the computer hung with a blank black screen with just a blinking cursor in the upper left corner.When pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del shutdown messages appear. Trying a few imes, there seems to be a couple of lines of output that is cleared off the screen. Perhaps it has something to do with the following line in /var/log/syslog: syslog:Jan 25 10:07:36 emmaline4 init: networking main process (762) terminated with status 1 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Jan 25 10:41:48 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 Package: ifupdown 0.6.8ubuntu21 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-17.54-server SourcePackage: ifupdown Uname: Linux 2.6.31-17-server x86_64 SRU justification: IMPACT: If /etc/network/interfaces contains a typo (e.g. 'iface eth0 inet statuc') then the system will fail to reach runlevel 2, including recovery mode (although gdm will start fine, since it's started by an Upstart job). DEVELOPMENT BRANCH: Fixed in ifupdown 0.6.10ubuntu2 by manually bringing up lo before ifup -a. I consulted with Scott James Remnant on the correct implementation here. PATCH: to-do TEST CASE: Make a deliberate syntax error in /etc/network/interfaces (see example above) and try to boot to recovery mode. REGRESSION POTENTIAL: Take care to ensure that runlevel switching continues to work normally both with valid and invalid /etc/network/interfaces. Original report follows: Binary package hint: ifupdown I apparently made some mistake in /etc/network/interfaces.
