I'm on Ubuntu 14.04 and in a step by step to install clonezilla I did:

sudo apt-get remove network-manager

The next step was to modify the interfaces file (which I did as below) but it didn't work.

Now my usb wireless card isn't recognized and I can't find a way to get network-manager back. I tried going into

/etc/network/interfaces

and modified it :

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
address (my local ip)
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1

I still can't connect any more after rebooting and trying a

/etc/init.d/networking restart

If I type in:

sudo lshw -C network

I can see that it sees the card (I'm trying to run my usb wireless) but it shows:

*-network UNCLAIMED
description : network controller ... etc 

*-network DISABLED 
description : Wireless interface... etc.

  • Doesnt work. Do i need the info in the interfaces file with that?? or simply runing that command should do the trick

  • in you /etc/network/interfaces file, does the second line begin with face or with iface? Nov 11, 2014 at 2:04

    K - Your specifying dhcp but using static addressing, perhaps that line should be iface eth0 inet static Nov 11, 2014 at 2:10

    Do you have the lo interface defined? geekyprojects.com/cloning/setup-a-clonezilla-server-on-ubuntu Nov 11, 2014 at 2:16

First, confirm that your ethernet card has a driver and has created an interface, ideally eth0:

ifconfig

If so, please amend your /etc/network/interfaces file to read:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Now try to connect:

sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup -v eth0

The '-v' for verbose should produce some output telling us either that you connected or what went wrong. If so, we'll try to correct it.

Please try a reboot and show us:

dmesg | grep eth0

  • you want the result of the reeboot or the results of the ifdown command after the reeboot
