[SOLVED] netcfg static IP not persisting across reboots in VM

I ran into an issue with netcfg static IP not persisting across reboots in a VM. I figured it out, but it took me awhile as a brand new user, so I thought I'd post it.
Setup
Using VMWare Workstation 8.0.3 build-703057 with bridged networking
Host OS: Linux Mint 14 64-bit
Guest OS: Arch Linux 2013.03.01 x86_64
Given a fresh install on the guest, setup netcfg:
cd /etc/network.d
cp examples/ethernet-static ./myprofile
nano myprofile
# customize this file. I also added NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
systemctl enable netcfg@myprofile
systemctl start netcfg@myprofile
Test the configuration. It should be successful:
ping google.com
Problem
See if the changes survive a reboot.
reboot
ping google.com
I got the error "connect: Network is unreachable".
Check the logs:
journalctl
G
I found the following netcfg failure..
[email protected]: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
..prior to the following device initialization:
kernel: e1000 0000:02:00.0 eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
system-udevd[117]: renamed network interface eth0 to emp2s0
Solution
It looks like netcfg is being started before the device it depends on has been initialized. Inform systemd of the
dependency so they start in the proper order:
# nano /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/[email protected]
# Add the following to [Unit]. Remember to replace enp2s0 with your device name.
Requires=sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp2s0.device
After=sys-subsystem-net-devices-enp2s0.device
Test again:
reboot
ping google.com
This should now be successful.

  • Tap to click setting in system preferences not persisting after reboot!

    Hi,
    This is the 2nd time this has happened.. I shut down my system, and boot it up later, and when I go to tap, nothing happens. I go into to system prefs > trackpad, and see that my tap to click & dragging options are unchecked......
    Why is it not remembering those settings?
    -patrick

    I also have this behavior. It seems all trackpad preferences fail to persist after reboot and logout/login. I also disable Pinch Open & Close and Rotate settings and those also revert.

  • Why do button functions included in external actionscript not persist across frames?

    this one drives me nuts!
    if i include an external actionscript file in frame one of my
    movie, then [as you'd expect] all the functions, global variables
    etc contained in that external AS file are available throughout my
    movie - with one notable exception.
    if i add a button to the stage - in a frame other than frame
    one - whose onRelease handler is defined in the external AS, the
    function is not called when the button is clicked - i have to
    re-include the external AS file again on the frame in which the
    button resides, in order for the buttons function to be called.
    anyone know why this is - and if there's a way round it?
    how come all the other functions in the AS persist across all
    frames and all timelines in the movie, but the button handlers only
    seem to be available on the actual frame in which the AS file is
    included?
    download
    example

    I think you and I are dealing with similar issues and the
    root cause is referred to as "scope." The only difference between
    your and my problems is that your code is in an external as file
    and mine is on the timline. But in both instances, code that should
    work doesn't. Robert Reinhardt has covered this in an article at
    http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=8E4DF.
    He is the author of the Flash Actionscript Bible series and so
    knows what he is talking about. I have been studying it for an hour
    and darn if I can understand the second page of it. I've asked for
    help myself about this at

  • How do I ensure HttpSession state is NOT persisted across server failures?

              I need to PREVENT the data in the HttpSession from being restored if the server crashes.
              I can't seem to find any documentation explicitly documentating how to ensure this.
              Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    WebLogic doesn't serialize and restore sessions when the server is
              shutdown/crashes
              for "memory" sessions. That should not happen. Check the value of

  • Wifi state not remembered across reboot after recent upgrade

    After a recent upgrade, I noticed that the wireless network is always on after the computer boots (I use NetworkManager in gnome, which I always use to turn the wireless off). Before that, the wireless is on only if I left it on before I shutdown the computer last time.
    Are there people who are having similar symptoms or know the cause?
    (I have a Broadcom BCM43142 card and use the broadcom-wl driver)

    May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
    I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
    My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
    When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
    Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
    • restart Apple TV
    • restart Macbook Pro
    • quite iTunes/open
    • turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
    • unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
    None of these have alleviated the problem.
    The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
    Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

  • Solaris 10 zones - Resource Controls not persisting through reboot

    Local zone was rebooted, but somehow the resource controls are not well configured and the oracle database did not start up.
    The cat /etc/project shows this : The local zone has 10 gb. The oracle database was started manually with the startdb.sh, which conn /assysdba and issue a startup, adn also startups the listener.
    cat /etc/project

    Nikolay, thank you for your reply.
    What I know is that the zone was rebooted saturday. sunady at 1:00 am the oracle database (I'am a Dba not sysadmin), perform coldbackup (veritas.) then Veritas call a unix script to starts the database.
    I run the script to starts the database manually sunday. Veritas could not open the database because of the Out of Memory.

  • VLAN settings across reboots

    I have two VLANs configured on my Built-in Ethernet. After a reboot they appear to be properly configured (one even gets a DHCP response) but they cannot connect to network. Safari spins and eventually says it is not connected to the Internet. Other network connections like SSH do not work either. After deleting the two VLANs and adding them again everything works fine.
    Should VLAN settings be persistent across reboots?

    I have exact the same problem on a Mac Mini running OS X Server 10.5.8. Once rebooted the VLAN interface seems to be broken.
    Did you find any solution for it?

  • [SOLVED]ssh key persists across logins - xfce/ssh-agent/pgp-agent

    Hi,
    I am a new Arch user. I must say, that I am very happy with my installation so far. Thanks for providing a sensible Linux distribution.
    I am coming from Ubuntu 12.04 LTS with xfce as desktop. Ubuntu 12.04 has xfce 4.8.2. Now I am running lightdm and xfce 4.10 which I consider a very useful desktop environment. Now, there is one bug I ran into and I didn't see it documented anywhere :
    After logging out or even rebooting, my ssh-key was still cached/stored by gpg-agent.
    Now, well. Can't be that hard, can it?
    % ssh-add -D
    SSH_AGENT_FAILURE
    Failed to remove all identities.
    Great! Now that really bugged me: I am unable to remove my ssh-key, even across reboots!
    It took me a while to realize, that gpg-agent is now capable of handling ssh-keys.
    I was unable to find any startup configuration for gpg-agent in /etc/profile[.d], systemd, .xinitrc, ...
    Disabling xfce-session gpg-agent autostart
    After even more searching, I found xfce to be the culprit:
    http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/advanced
    Apparently xfce4-session starts gpg-agent
    To disable it:
    % xfconf-query -c xfce4-session -p /startup/ssh-agent/enabled -n -t bool -s false
    Kind'a obvious, right?
    Key recovery
    To get rid of the ssh-key dangling around unencrypted (?) on your harddisk, have a look at
    $HOME/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d
    Looks like gpg-agent is storing ssh keys here. I simply deleted the directory.
    BE CAREFUL: I don't know if the directory is only used for cached ssh keys. You might have other valid keys you don't want to delete there. Maybe someone else can shed some light on this.
    Now I have my good old ssh-agent back, started automatically as described in the wiki
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SSH_Keys#ssh-agent

    Thanks for reminding
    Btw, my problem/issue with gpg2's (inexistent, yet there-in-the-man-pages) "--with-keygrip" option still persists - though I am not sure if this is the place to mention about it.

  • Non persistent block association across reboot - help needed

    Hi
    Im faily new to Solaris and am currently facing the following problem. In a non-global zone I was able to create a file system by using zonecfg through the global zone. I added the entry in vfstab and was able to mount this properly in the non-global zone. At the time the df -k output in the global zone showed me
    /dev/lofi/1 mounted on /foo. However i did a global boot of the system (autoboot=true) and realized that the block device exported was not persistent. After that I ran the "mountall" command in the non-global zone and got
    checking ufs filesystems
    /dev/rlofi/1: Invalid argument
    Can't open /dev/rlofi/1
    /dev/rlofi/1: CAN'T CHECK FILE SYSTEM.
    /dev/rlofi/1: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY.
    fsckall failed with exit code 1.
    mount: /dev/lofi/1 is not this fstype
    What am i doing wrong here ? I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

    yea i have along time ago and also made a update to xlr8's drive database. cause i fixed the problems with the drive in OS 9.2.2 (AKA no burn support with the built in burning app or iTunes, now have full support for burning with the finder burn and iTunes thanks to a edited PioneerCDR authoring support extension that someone edited for me. found out that the Apple CD/DVD driver extension was at fault for the locking up on wake up with hdd sleep enabled that started when i installed the Pioneer drive. fixed with intech CD/DVD speedtools 6.0).
    When i did the first report on the drive database on xlr8yourmac i reported what problems i was having in OS 9.2.2 and i think i reported that i had no problems in jaguar, and was trying to obtain a driver or something to try to get it to work. but to no avail at first. after i fixed the problems i did a update report
    in jaguar the drive had no problems but no burn support. installed patchburn and the drive worked 100% in jag no problems what so ever. im thinking it has somthing to do with one or all of the extensions with errors but i can be wrong.
    i just wonder where ryan has been on the forums in OWC's site. cause i would like to submit my crash log panic log and the extensions with errors so he could help track down the problems to see if it cant be fixed. but ive tried emailing him but no replay's. and his last reply on the OWC forums was back in desember 2005 a few day's over a year
    i know it isnt the drive cause it worked flawlessly in tiger 10.4.8 on my friends Digital Audio but i know why it worked fine cause it has the proper files for the DA to work cause its a supported system. i would like to try to help to get xpostfacto to work better on the Beige G3 system
    in tiger if it is something to do with xpostfacto

  • Sporadic Wireless Failure Persisting across Restarts

    I've been reading through all the various wireless problems threads and while a few sound similar to the problem I'm having I think I only found one that's the same - and I'm not sure that one got resolved.
    Here's the problem:
    Sporadically, sometimes several times a night, sometimes not for a whole day, my iMac will lose its wireless connection. This usually happens in stages - first I still appear to have a wireless connection to my router, but no actual internet connection. At this point my router is always the only one in the list of displayed routers, even though I know there are many more I can usually see. After a while I lose signal completely (or I turn off and back on wireless, which has the same effect). At this point, no wireless networks show up in the list. After a while, I'll see some networks again, but usually not my router immediately. Then sometimes it will show up again, but I'll get an error connecting to it. This state persist a random amount of time, across turning on and off wireless, sleeping the computer, rebooting the computer, changing network settings, anything. Wired networking works fine during this time. Then at some point it'll snap back, connect (usually automatically, unless I change settings) and everything will be peachy until the next episode.
    Notes:
    - I don't have speed problems when things are working
    - I never have the problem of the machine finding the network when waking up from sleep unless it's lost the network before
    - this happens on all wireless channels and with varying distances to the router. Interference robustness setting does not matter.
    - this persists across different routers (the Verizon Westell model and a linksys WRT54GL both with the latest linksys software as well as with some other downloadable firmwares)
    - None of the latest apple updates seem to change the behaviour significantly
    - None of the extensive setting changes I've made seem to change this behaviour
    - router resets don't seem to matter
    - the behaviour is so random that I'm not sure how to demonstrate it to a service person - by the time I get to them the machine will likely have a network connection and might work for a day thereafter
    - other machines (two powerbooks) usually do not have the same problem and stay connected to the router just fine. Now, I've had instances where one of the other machines is also unable to connect during this time.
    - using iStumbler when the machine is in its broken wireless state I can see my router, but iStumbler will refuse to display a graph for it, always jumping to another available network.
    Having a really hard time pinning this one down. Maybe a slightly unseated or faulty wireless card? That doesn't explain why sometimes the other machines also have this problem, but perhaps that's just a different problem? It's certainly not as persistent or frequent on them as it is on the iMac.
    I'm having a hard time believing it's a software problem as rebooting all machines/routers involved does not make it go away.
    Anyone know if it's impossible to re-seat the wireless card yourself? If I go to an Apple Store and describe this to them, do you think they'll re-seat or exchange the card for me?
    Thanks,

    iMac C2D 24" Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    zittergrotte,
    Its sounds very similar to a persistent and annoying issue that affected all new C2D iMac owners after the 10.4.8 upgrade and I think I read that, re-installing the 10.4.9 combo update over the incremental software update has cured the problem for some users. Have you tried this as yet?
    To all reading: has the wireless connectivity issues that affected so many C2D OSX users after the 10.4.8 update resurfaced in 10.4.9 or is this an isolated incident?
    I hvaen't as yet updated to 10.4.9 cause I lost all faith after being stung on 10.4.8; but even after the apparent cure in the Airport Extreme 2007-002 update, I still get a consistently better connection, surfing time / speed on my works Dell Latitude D620 running WXP SP2. The iMac is generally sporadic and slow at best wirelessly whereas the Windows laptop zips along at quite a speed 95% of the time.
    Quite disappointing to see a Windows machine so consistently outstrip a Mac so conclusively, but the Airport Extreme drivers just appear to be completely naff.

  • [Solved] Netcfg switches between interfaces

    Hello,
    I switched to netcfg, to get a pure systemd install.
    How ever, sometimes the netcfg can't bring up the interface even though it used that interface before.
    It's like netcfg are switching between what interface it can use. Sometimes it's eth0 other times eth1.
    So when I boot and don't have any network connection, I change the config files to use the other interface (ex. eth1) and netcfg can connect.
    How can this be?
    configs:
    /etc/network.d/mynetwork
    CONNECTION='ethernet'
    DESCRIPTION='A basic static ethernet connection using iproute'
    INTERFACE='eth1'
    IP='static'
    ADDR='192.168.1.3'
    #ROUTES=('192.168.0.0/24 via 192.168.1.2')
    GATEWAY='192.168.1.1'
    DNS=('dns1', 'dns2)
    ## For IPv6 autoconfiguration
    #IP6=stateless
    ## For IPv6 static address configuration
    #IP6='static'
    #ADDR6=('1234:5678:9abc:def::1/64' '1234:3456::123/96')
    #ROUTES6=('abcd::1234')
    #GATEWAY6='1234:0:123::abcd'
    /etc/conf.d/netcfg
    # Enable these netcfg profiles at boot time.
    # - prefix an entry with a '@' to background its startup
    # - set to 'last' to restore the profiles running at the last shutdown
    # - set to 'menu' to present a menu (requires the dialog package)
    # Network profiles are found in /etc/network.d
    NETWORKS=(mynetwork)
    # Specify the name of your wired interface for net-auto-wired
    WIRED_INTERFACE="eth1"
    # Specify the name of your wireless interface for net-auto-wireless
    #WIRELESS_INTERFACE="wlan0"
    # Array of profiles that may be started by net-auto-wireless.
    # When not specified, all wireless profiles are considered.
    #AUTO_PROFILES=("profile1" "profile2")

    Did you checked for netcfg.service is enabled (systemd) ?
    BTW, I see a missing single quote on DNS line : DNS=('dns1', 'dns2)

  • Iphone 4s coming friday, what is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across.

    What is the best way to get the notes content from iphone 4 to 4s without doing a restore? i want the new phone to be totally new but not sure how to get notes content across. If I do a restore as I have when previously from one iphone to another it has shown (in settings, usage) the cumulative usage from previous phones so all the hours of calls on all previous iphones will be displayed even though its brand new. Anyone know how I can get my notes (from standard iphone notes app) to my new iphone 4s without restoring from previous iphone 4. Thanks for any help offered.

    First, if you haven't updated to iTunes 10.5, please update now as you will need it for the iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Once you're done installing iTunes 10.5, open it. Connect your iPhone to iTunes using the USB cable. Once your iPhone pops up right click on it. For example: an iPhone will appear and it will say "Ryan's iPhone."
    Right click on it and select "Backup" from the dropdown menu. It will start backing up. This should backup your notes.
    Please tell me if you have any problems with backing up.
    Once you backup and get your iPhone 4S, you must follow these steps. If you don't follow these steps, you will not be able to get your notes on your new iPhone 4S.
    Open up iTunes again then right click on your device (iPhone 4S). Once you do you will see a dropdown menu. It will say "Restore from Backup..." Select this and it'll ask for a backup, select it from the dropdown menu. For example "Ryan's iPhone - October 12, 2011." Pick that and it will restore to your backup. Do this when you get your iPhone 4S so you will not lose anything. Even though you're restoring, you're getting back, since you're getting the previous settings, notes, contacts, mail and other settings from your old iPhone. You'll still have Siri though! So, restore when you first get it. Also frequently backup your device, as it will be worth it. You can restore from a backup if something goes wrong or save your data for a future update.
    Once you do that, you should have your notes on your new iPhone 4S and iOS 5.
    Please tell me if you need any help.
    I hoped I answered your questions and solved your problem!

    Hi Buterem,
    I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your MacBook Pro since your recent Yosemite update. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having intermittent but persistent responsiveness issues with your mouse or trackpad, you may want to try using Activity Monitor to see if these incidents correspond to occupied system resources, especially system memory or CPU. You may find the following article helpful:

    If the entire system hangs or locks up (for example, if the system clock freezes and stops counting up), you may also be experiencing some variety of Kernel Panic. If that is the case, you may also find this article useful:

    Regards,
    - Brenden

    Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
