I am currently setting a Virtual Machine for development purposes. I did a big part of this configuration under Wheezy, but I need some debs that were available only on Jessie.

So, I've updated the sources.list and did a dist-upgrade.

Everything went well, but after the reboot, I noticed that I lost all the networking. Repositories are unreachable, as well as a simple ping google.fr returns nothing.

What can I do to quickly restore networking so that I can continue my working.

I have a poor connexion and can not afford to download the whole install DVDs.

root@vm~# ifconfig
lo    Link encap:Boucle locale
      inet adr:127.0.0.1 Masque:255.0.0.0
      adr inet6::1/128 Scope:Hôte
      UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric 1

      RX bytes:164238 (160.3 KiB) TX bytes:164238 (160.3 KiB)

root@vm~# 

I am running VMware 1.0.1 build 1379776 and the last update of Jessie (debian 3.14.4-1)

Solved !

I solved it by add the following in /etc/network/interfaces :

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Please help. Thanks.

  • Try using a different network adaptor type in the VM config; it looks like it's not being recognised by the jessie kernel.

  • I've tried all the adaptors. I also tryed /etc/init.d/networking restart No change :-/

  • Try updating the vmware tools on that VM.

  • If you want to install a single package in Debian, you do not need to update the whole system. It can be done with three commands by inserting the repos for Testing and Unstable in /etc/apt/sources.list, fixing the distro you (mostly) wish by setting APT::Default-Release "stable" in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/local, then doing aptitude install packagae_name/testing -t testing.

I met a similar problem and solved it by removing .dpkg-new suffixes from script names in /etc/wpa_supplicant. Maybe it would be useful for somebody.
