Bouncing the network in that way isn't supported and never was. Instead of this breaking systems in subtle way, we made it fail entirely starting with 14.04.
The way to bounce the network which is supported is: - ifdown <specific interface> - update the config - ifup <specific interface> "ifdown -a && ifup -a" should also work on most standard systems but will quite probably hang on more complex setup that need to be parallelized. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316606 Title: "service networking restart" fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1316606/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
