[Bug 1098941] Re: "sudo service networking stop" causes the GUI to crash

[Stéphane Graber]

ifupdown does the right thing here. When you ask it to tear down the
network, it'll do so and only keep the loopback device, it'll then emit
deconfiguring-networking.

Some jobs stop on deconfiguring-networking like dbus, which is a core
dependency of the rest of the desktop which unsurprisingly causes
everything to die.

Title:
  "sudo service networking stop" causes the GUI to crash

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop x64 and the Gnome Desktop version of Ubuntu;
  when you restart the networking via: sudo service networking stop (or
  restart) the GUI for the entire desktop crashes and you are left
  either at the cli or the GUI doesn't completely close but any terminal
  windows left open do not function.

  $ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 12.10
  Release:	12.10

  What I was expecting to happen was for the networking to restart
  during normal operation of the GUI.

  What happened instead was that the GUI crashed

  I am using an ASUS N56VM laptop
