simonmicro Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 So, before some days I've updated some packages - so I can't say which update cause the following described problem: The Odroid boots up and doesn't do a dhcp query - the eth0 interface won't get any IP-Address. 'nmtui' shows (even if I delete every connections and set mine to default) after every reboot a new connection with "eth0" as name and no dchp config and no automatic connect selected. Trying to use armbian-config and set IP to DHCP wont help also, because at the next reboot this "ghost" profile appears again and overwrites the Armbian profile. If I try to activate the Armbian profile (or mine) the "ghost" profile disappears... My /etc/network/interfaces contains only the auto lo stuff - nothing related to eth0. A temporary solution is to restart the network-manager, this will trigger a dhcp request and the interface is up again. Also temporary is my actual solution: Writing "auto eth0 \n iface eth0 inet dhcp" to /etc/network/interfaces Has anyone some advise or ideas how to workaround this?

simonmicro Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 @Igor Well, here it is: http://ix.io/1l6h Hope this includes all your requested information. Simonmicro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 As I predicted, you are using Jessie which Network manager has many problems ... problem is not related directly to Odroid XU4 nor Armbian so I am moving this to Common section. Disable Network Manager and use ifupdown only, while the best solution is to start with a Debian Stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonmicro Posted August 24, 2018 Author Share Posted August 24, 2018 Well, I am not sure about this. I am using one of the offical Armbian images, all basing on stretch. Also using "cat /etc/debian_version" or "cat /etc/issue" my system reports debian version 9 - stretch. Ifupdown is a possible solution, but I would prefer using the network manager - because it is also used by the armbian-config script and easier to use with "nmtui".
