Ave!

Fantastyczna podpowiedź – zaoszczędziłeś mi tym wpisem mnóstwo żmudnej i mało ciekawej roboty polegającej na sprawdzaniu sieci na systemach gospodarza / gościa jak również samych ustawień VM.

Piękne Ci dzięki. No i super nazwa: “Orzeszek”. :-)

Many Thanks.

I was baffled to see the eth0 and other interfaces gone when I copied the vmware image. This saved my day.

[...] Orzeszek has an easy solution for this, which is to delete the “/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules” file and “sudo reboot” to allow Ubuntu to rebuild the file with the correct MAC address, set up by VMWare Server when we originally added the virtual machine to the inventory. Now everything should be working perfectly. [...]

@kklo: Quite right about the filename. I can’t believe It’s been like that so long, and I hadn’t noticed. Now fixed. Thanks!

I’ve added a link in my blog to this page.
There is an errata at file path, the full filename is /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Another tip, if you also wish to change the hosname then edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts files and replace the old name wuth a new one.

Thanks a lot,

I used your method to delete the file from my master VM. After shutting it down, I cloned from that state. Every clone would then generate its own udev rule on “first” boot.
