after an apt-get upgrade to grml 0.8 I seem to be missing my loopback lo device (ifconfig just shows my eth0 device after startup). My /etc/network/interfaces contains:
# The loopback interface automatically added when upgrading auto lo iface lo inet loopback
Has anybody else seen this? I only noticed this because thunderbird and firefox started behaving oddly and Java debugging stopped working (Java debugging needs to listen to a localhost port).
Oh, interesting. I changed the 'ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up' to 'ifup lo' and now it runs only in live-cd mode as it should be working on hd-installations - due to autostartup of networking - in any case. Hmmmm. :)
What does:
# grep -e ifup -e network /etc/runlevel.conf
return? As a reference take a look at:
# grep -e ifup -e network /etc/runlevel.conf.hdinstall 15 - 0,6 /etc/init.d/wpa-ifupdown 18 - S /etc/init.d/ifupdown-clean 35 - S /etc/init.d/networking 36 - S /etc/init.d/ifupdown
Is anything missing on your system?
If not a "ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up" put into /etc/init.d/bootlocal.last should fix the issue in the meantime for your.
But I'd be happy to find the reason for the problem on your box.
PS: thanks for the 0.8 release... I'm having fun getting the people round here to pronounce the Funkenzutzler name;

(Please notice that I'm offline for a few days starting with tomorrow [wednesday]. So sorry for delay then - but I'll read all your mails afterwards of course.)
