been having some weird connectivity issues tonight oh hey erratic what kind of issues? cloudkitsch: ^ actually figued out its just my firefox is really broken because I built an unstable version or something konqueror is working fine maybe firefox is mad at me for downloading ronnie mounds: that's interesting. you have ISDN lines going to slot machines in random places? *m0unds also http://unixcube.org/who/acf/tmp/smokeping-verizon-ntt-2014-07-22.png something has definitely changed with NTT and Verizon recently nice rollercoaster Gets a bit treacherous near the end though acf_: they go into a demarc and equipment is connected in remote closets, doing whatever it does with the isdn lines i don't directly work with that stuff, i just remembered seeing the gear in that particular area of the facility Is the a good way to change IP information within Ubuntu and have it take effect without having to reboot? so far I have tried service networking restart, after making changes to /etc/network/interfaces and the old IP information remains, till I reboot mnathani: I tried that in Debian, and it took all the interfaces down :/ I think because it failed to create a bond interface that already existed, and bailed out service networking restart is marked as deprecated in Debian btw I think the official answer is "reboot the machine" see: http://codeghar.wordpress.com/2011/07/18/debian-running-etcinit-dnetworking-restart-is-deprecated-because-it-may-not-enable-again-some-interfaces/ Code Ghar link: "Debian: Running /etc/init.d/networking restart is deprecated because it may not enable again some interfaces" by hs acf_: thanks Always risky to bounce the network when you're connected, but I've had no issues with ifdown ; ifup (on Debian)
