It happened to me once.

Don’t know if we’re in the same scenario, but my problem turned to be that the real network interface had not gotten link (there wasn’t a cable in it, there fore the real interface wasn’t up)
Bearing in mind that the virtual interface uses the real one, if the real one is down, the virtual one is never gonna be up.
Check that out, and if it ain’t that, let us know and I’m sure we’ll sort it out.

Cheers for using pandora

As Pandora FMS 1.3.1 is being to be completely released today (we hope), an updated WMware image will be uploaded to Sourceforge as well. Stay tuned!

Hello;

First of all thank you for your answers. I checked the network interface, and everything is working fine.

To verify it, I actually also tried to run the older Pandora 1.2 VM Image, and it does recognize the eth0 interface.

Do you have another idea of what’s going on and how to fix it ?

Anyway, I’ll already try the new 1.3.1 VMWare Image, maybe things will work better.

Thanks, David.

cleaning cache will fix the eth0 issue.
it is cause by MAC caching, when you copy vmware image.

rm /etc/udev/rules.d/*.*

Hey :-). Everything is now working fine (with DHCP), thank you.

I just have a little question: If i wanted to set a fixed IP address instead of the DHCP one, how could i do it ?

In fact, i read the man documentation about interfaces and it seems that i have to modify the /etc/network/interface file doing a thing like

iface eth0-home inet static

address

netmask
gateway

But when i try, it returns me:

E325: ATTENTION
Found a swap file by the name “/etc/network/.interfaces.swp”

(1) Another program may be editing the same file
(2) An edit session for this file crashed

To be short, the edit doesn’t work. Does anybody know why, and how to fix it ?

Just remove that .swp file and try to edit it again.
