Full Version: waiting for network configuration KODIBUNTU
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Good morning to everyone,

yesterday, i rebooted my machine with Kodi (isengard, last stable) and my network does not work anymore.
I have the message "waiting for network configuration" and after a while "Waiting 60 more seconds for network configuration". After that the machine boot up normally, but with no network support.

So, i go to desktop, and in a terminal i run "sudo service start network-manager", and something start work. Something, not everything. In fact right now i have an ip address, i have a gateway, but no internet.
"ping www.google.it" tell me host unreachable. (from all other device internet works good)

Does anyone have a solution for this?

THANKYOU

PS. sorry for no log attached but i have no idea of how to share that without any internet connection
you could use an USB stick and copy the logfile to it and then pastebin it from another PC with inet connection.

I would check if there is something strange inside: /etc/network/interfaces

Do you use wifi or LAN? please show us the output (make fotos with a smartphone and share the pictures) of:

Code:
ifconfig

also a

Code:
dmesg


might be usefull...but the output is very large..so a picture might be useless....but you can output the command to a file:

Code:
dmesg > dmesg.txt

and then copy the file to the USB and share it via pastebin

you can do a

Code:
lspci

too. See if you are able to show us the outputs (using smartphone or output to another file)...then we might get it solved
This has been discussed multiple times by now. A simple search "Wait for network lightdm.conf" yields the solution: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=173267

I try the solution of 17th reply of that post, but something go wrong: i have same message (wait network configuration) andò after the splash screen i have only a prompt that ask me to login
Then you edited the file in a wrong way :-) pastebin that file and we will see.
Thank so much, i'm out for work, now, but i have some logs, maybe can help

Other things that may be useful:
- ubuntu is a version 14.04
- now i can see a menù at boot time (grub) that i didn't see before.

Thanks in advance to anyone.
If you manually start network-manager from console login does it work?

What happens if you do: sudo service lightdm restart from command line? Anything in /var/log/upstart for this service?

And ifconfig | pastebinit from cmdline please ... i think that will introduce a circular dependency now ... that hack was meant for interfaeces getting started with /etc/network/interfaces configurations

i do, and it seems to work, but it doesn't, it is the output of ifconfig after that.
but still it doesnt work because "ping www.google.com" is host unreachable
