howdy,
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).
Thanks,
murphee
PS: thanks for the 0.8 release... I'm having fun getting the people round here to pronounce the Funkenzutzler name;

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.

(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.)

The difference to your output from this grep is that 35 - 0,6 /etc/init.d/networking has 0,6 where your version has S. I presume those are runlevels or something like that;

OK, thanks; so at least I don't have to do the ifconfig manually on startup;

Ok, this means that the networking script will be executed only in runlevels 0 (halt) and 6 (reboot) but not on startup of your system.
Just replace the '0,6' of the networking line with a 'S' (runlevel S is used to initialize the system on boot, see 'man init' for more information). This will fix your problem.

Thanks. :)
