Jeos lost Network after Clone

I set up a working Jeos image and everything was working well. I cloned it and I no longer have network connectivity, only local shows up. I deleted the NIC in Virtual Infrastructure and readded it but nothing is showing up. Any suggestions?

Hi,

try:

ifconfig -a

If you see an interface eth1 ( or eth2 ) delete the file /etc/iftab and reboot.

Ubuntu stores the interface identifier and the mac adresse in /etc/iftab. The cloned vm comes with a new mac, so ubuntu changed the interface name from eth0 to eth1.

Konrad

eth2 is showing up, but there is no /etc/iftab to delete.

Ok... there is another place to look for the "lost" interfaces eth0 and eth1.

Go to /etc/udev/rules.d/

Open the file 70-persistent-net.rules

delete the lines with the naming rules for eth0 and eth1 ( you can see the mac addresses of the former interfaces ).

Save the file and reboot.

If you take a look at /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules the current interface should be added as eth0.

Konrad
