[one-users] ubuntu 14.04 as image - no network on first boot

[ML mail]

I also had no problems with Ubuntu 12.04, this problem only arises with 14.04. After installing the package I did not touch the interfaces file, actually I never touched it and strangely enough it has the correct context data in it but eth0 is just not configured upon first boot. 


Maybe it's my Ubutnu 14.04 image itself... I installed a minimal server version of Ubuntu with only OpenSSH from the tasksel menu. Do I maybe need additional packages or to run/configure anything additional post-installation?

Regards
ML

We have tested the package in both 12.04 and 14.04. Network works fine
in the first boot. Did you modify interfaces file after installing the
package? One of the things the package does is to empty the interfaces
file, just has the loopback configured so it does not configure the
network before the context package starts.

Also a "service networking restart" does not work. The only workaround I found for now is to reboot the VM, then networking works correctly.
