[Solved] No network connection on cloud host

lexan · 2014-03-09 21:54:01

Where can I get started on trying to debug my issue of having no network connection on my server? It was working a few days ago.

Ping results in unknown host errors, and I my ethernet module, virtio_pci, is loaded when I run

lsmod

I can't ssh into my server, but I have "console" access through digitalocean's console service.

Thank you.

There was an systemd update which renamed the interface names of virtio devices. Have you checked your network configuration if it is still valid?

The interface names can be listed from /sys/class/net, right? In my case, it is enp0s3.
Activating the interface with

ip link set enp0s3 up

does not seem to work.

Thank you for the reply!

You can list your inferface names with

ip link

. How do you normaly initialize your network connection?

It was already initialized when I chose to install arch linux on the cloud server. How can I find out how it was initialized?
Will listing systemd's running units with systemctl tell me?

Oh okay... it was then propably initialized by netcfg (or something like that, outdated). Try this guide.
To get your network up and running for this, do the steps from recovering first.

That worked great! I didn't see their post.

Thanks a lot! :-)
