Description of problem: I installed fedora 22 server in a testing environment. the installation is done through virtual box. I faced the problem on a cloned machine. When I tried to start network service on the cloned machine it did not start and was giving errors like below.. Aug 28 06:13:10 masti network[2021]: RTNETLINK answers: File exists Aug 28 06:13:10 masti network[2021]: RTNETLINK answers: File exists Aug 28 06:13:10 masti systemd[1]: network.service: control process exited, code=exited status=1 Aug 28 06:13:10 masti systemd[1]: Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking. with such errors an error was logged in /var/log/messages which indicated me to report the bug to bugzilla. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@masti ~]# cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 22 (Twenty Two) [root@masti ~]# How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Clone existing VM with option to assign new MAC and network type should be host-only Virtual Ethernet adapter. 2. Once the machine is up, change hostname, define gateway in network file and while NetworkManager is running try to start network service, it should fail! (it did not fail on the actual machine from which the clone is created. The network service fails even after correctng MAC address in interface file and commenting UUID number.) 3. Check /var/log/messages and you should see some long errors with message to report this to bugzilla. Actual results: Network service failed to start on clone. I tried to stop network and NetworkManager services. Network remained in failed state. NetworkManager could stop but after that too ifconfig and ip addr show command was showing the interface as up. After i brought down interfcae manualy with ifdown command and then when started network service the route was there and service started. Expected results: Network service should have started and route for gateway should have been taken effect after Network service start followed by NetworkManager service stop and network service restart. ( this is how it happened in actual machine but in clone that was not the case) Additional info:
I am guessing that network.service was not running on you machine before. network-scripts and NM can coexists together only in the case that they were both started during boot. If you are using NM simply don't use the old network-scripts.
