Ebox on Ubuntu - bug with network interfaces
« on: January 26, 2008, 12:56:37 pm »
i have installed Ubuntu gutsy on an AMD64 using the i386 iso.
installation had some error messages but it seem to have installed properly.
but it is not possible to assign the interface properly.
i have managed to set up the external interface as dhcp
as well as an internal one with dhcp but not with static.

while trying to set a network interface into static ip, the following message is produced and i have the attached report downloaded from:

I had the same a similar problem installing ebox on gutsy. I was getting an error on the gateway setup page.

I'd guess it's either an older version of ebox in the ubuntu repositories, or a problem with the ubuntu packages themselves.

I didn't even bother trying to fix it, and ended up uninstalling it. Had to resetup my network and reboot.

I then downloaded the ebox distro and installed that on a test server.

Worked much better that way. :)

Personally, I'd wait a few months, as ubuntu is allegedly working on including ebox and enabling it by default. Or least working on better integration between ubuntu and the ebox interface.
