All,
I recently re-installed Kubuntu 14.04 LTS on my Acer Aspire 7739 laptop to fix a "boot halt" problem! See:
It will not ever connect to the internet. I checked and the eth0 had not been declared in: /etc/network/interfaces, so I added it.
I additionally have the script:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
# Scrip to start wired networking
# Stop eth0 and restart networking
echo "Shutting down iface and networking! \n";
ifconfig eth0 down;
service networking stop;
service network-manager stop;
echo "\n";
# Start up eth0 & restart dhcp client and assign IP Address
echo "Starting networking & iface! \n";
service networking start;
service network-manager start;
ifconfig eth0 up;
echo "\n";
echo "Starting DHC Client! \n";
dhclient eth0;
echo "\n";
ping -c 3 www.google.com;
# Finish
Which runs down to the "dhclient" line where it freezes, so something is wrong. The dhclient runs completely and quickly with all the network config settings are right.
What HOWTO should I be looking at to finish the proper network config for my laptop?
Cheers!

PS
I tested my script on my server and it is also hanging on the "dhclient" cmd. Not sure why this is a problem.
