[SOLVED] Netctl The interface of network profile is already up

Hi,

i recently installed a system with the 2013.05 ISO, and got through all the updating process... Everything went fine except the network. i cant start my static profile with netctl... No way.

when i start my machine i have the network on:

[root@Host ~]# ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default 
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: ens3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 04:01:16:52:3d:01 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

but when i check the status of the profile:

[root@Host ~]# netctl status static
? netctl@static.service - A basic static ethernet connection
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/netctl@static.service; enabled)
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Seg 2014-04-14 21:21:13 BRT; 9min ago
     Docs: man:netctl.profile(5)
  Process: 149 ExecStart=/usr/lib/network/network start %I (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
 Main PID: 149 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Abr 14 21:21:13 Host network[149]: Starting network profile 'static'...
Abr 14 21:21:13 Host network[149]: The interface of network profile 'static' is already up
Abr 14 21:21:13 Host systemd[1]: netctl@static.service: main process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
Abr 14 21:21:13 Host systemd[1]: Failed to start A basic static ethernet connection.
Abr 14 21:21:13 Host systemd[1]: Unit netctl@static.service entered failed state.

I suspected it could be a conflict with the dhcpd and i removed it from my system.


Could someone help? Thanks?

Re: [SOLVED] Netctl The interface of network profile is already up

Why did you use a one-year old iso?

If you put the interface down and try to start the profile again, does it work?

Re: [SOLVED] Netctl The interface of network profile is already up

DigitalOcean latest ISO... =/

Nope.

I tried to:

# ip link set ens3 down

# netctl start static

And same error! =/

Re: [SOLVED] Netctl The interface of network profile is already up

I think I have similar, if not the same problem.

During boot I get this message:

[Failed] Failed to start A basic dhcp ethernet connection.
See 'systemctl status netctl@ethernet\x2ddhcp.service'
for details

This is what I get with systemctl status netctl@ethernet\x2ddhcp.service:

You have enabled two different networking services at the same time, dhcpcd and netctl, which are conflicting with each other.

Re: [SOLVED] Netctl The interface of network profile is already up

@teateawhy: Yeah I realised that and disabled dhpcd service, now the netctl works.

This is a bit off topic probably, but I thought this will solve my dropbox problems, but it didn't. Dropbox is still getting the connecting... error.
I thought that was due to netctl failing. It seems it isn't. Anyone has any idea, or should I start a new thread?
The dropbox error was due to my root got full (again, really should've set a bigger root, or something)

Re: [SOLVED] Netctl The interface of network profile is already up

@maw
I suppose you have the same problem as Primoz, where "netctl@digitalocean.service" and "network@ens3.service" are enabled and conflicting with each other.

@Primoz
Does the internet connection work for other things besides dropbox? If yes, start a new thread about the dropbox issue.

Re: [SOLVED] Netctl The interface of network profile is already up

SOLVED!

The teateawhy hint opened my mind and i inspect my /etc/conf.d and there was a file network@ens3 and it was configuring my network, but not completely (without DNS for name resolution).

So i simply removed that file and rebooted my system.

Thanks for the help!

@teateawhy,

only for clarification: that file was a vestige of the netcfg package?

Re: [SOLVED] Netctl The interface of network profile is already up

I never used netcfg, and i don't know if that was the source of this file.
Usually there are no leftover configuration files when using pacman to install and remove packages. Configuration files are renamed to .pacsave or removed, depending on the "-n, --nosave" switch.

LOAD   = Reflects whether the unit definition was properly loaded.
ACTIVE = The high-level unit activation state, i.e. generalization of SUB.
SUB    = The low-level unit activation state, values depend on unit type.

32 loaded units listed. Pass --all to see loaded but inactive units, too.
To show all installed unit files use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.

Can I just remove the netctl thing (I assume NetworkManager should be sufficient). And if so, please tell me how. Thanks.

Yes.  Removal is an exercise left for the reader.

Strong hint though, from the shell you can get all the information you need from man systemctl.  You are interested in the disable and stop commands.

Re: [SOLVED] Netctl The interface of network profile is already up

Sorry. I already did the following before asking the question.

systemctl stop netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service
systemctl disable netctl@my\x2dnetwork.service
systemctl stop netctl
systemctl disable netctl

The above output is still the same.
