Networking issue in VMware

Thursday, March 14, 2019

After upgrading my VMware Linux bootcamp partition, I ran again into the same old problem I have with every upgrade. See the 2017 edition and the 2018 edition.

I thought this was the same thing, but it's not. The configuration file is still there. I ended up reinstalling VMware tools completely, but it did not really help. This time, it appears to be somewhat random, with teh e1000 going up and down at unpredictable intervals:

  [  713.513746] e1000e: ens160 NIC Link is Down
  [  718.453242] e1000e: ens160 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None
  [ 8226.214766] e1000e: ens160 NIC Link is Down
  [ 8231.270000] e1000e: ens160 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control:

This is the work blog of Christophe de Dinechin for Red Hat. Think of it as a public lab book.

This should not be particularly interesting except to myself. It's really more intended as a set of personal notes, so there is no formatting whatsoever. I type tings as I go along during the day. All you'll find here are things like stack traces, Linux commands I want to remember or bugzilla links I want to be able to return to.

If you want to read stuff about my work at Red Hat that I believe is more interesting to the general public, you will find it on A Spice Odyssey. If you want to read my rants about everything else, go to Grenouille Bouillie. This is about as much advertisement as you will find on this site.
