I upgraded my node and a client's node to Ubuntu 12.04….and oddness ensued: His node was updated clean due mostly at the fact it is empty with just one site.

Mine of the other hand was a mess because I have…Gitorious, Aegir and a handful of other installations all which bit me back once I moved from 10.04….I only mention this because I eventually had to do some interesting apt-get and may be connected to the issue

Today I am checking some networking stuff and come to realize my client's node retained the same networking set up I was used to and that is reflected on the Linode documentation online. But when I checked mine I see somehow resolvconf got installed, it is active and working. I needed to set up static IP, the linode guides do not address this so…..confused as of what do.

Can I uninstall resolvconf so I can get the node networked the way it was? Or should I leave it and simply foliow some other guide to configure static IP with resolvconf on? Is that even possible?

Thanks for any feedback.

What "static IP" did you need to set up? Linodes by default get their IP assigned by DHCP, and the only reason you'd need to mess with any sort of configuration is if you have multiple IPs.

All back in order. No big deal…that's back ups are for, although I didn't even needed. I guess I was tired when I posted this….a second look with a refresh mind and in ten minutes I was done. Looks like both nodes upgraded differently do to how each had been built ….mine much older than the client.

NOw for the fun. Aegir magic. love it.
