Linux Error: Failed to start raise network interfaces

On Linux Ubuntu the error "failed to start raise network interfaces" occurs from time to time. This is triggered by the "Predictable network interface names" of "systemd/udev". One solution to the problem is to turn off static naming so that non-predictable kernel names are used.

How to solve the "failed to start raise network interfaces" error?

You can quickly fix the problem yourself on Linux by configuring the network interface manually.

1. Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl + T.
2. Now navigate to the rules.d/ directory with the command "cd ~/etc/udev/rules.d/".
3. Here create a new file with the command "touch 10-rename-network.rules".
4. Open the file with vim ("vim 10-rename-network.rules") or gedit ("gedit 10-rename-network.rules") and add the following content: SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="ff:ff:ff:ff:ff", NAME="eth0"
5. Replace eth0 with the name for the network interface and ff:ff:ff:ff:ff with the Mac address for the same.
6. Reboot your PC for the changes to take effect. The error should now be fixed.

If Linux slows down or displays errors more often, it may be because your hard drive needs to be defragmented. Under Linux, formatting hard drives is done in a few simple steps. If this step also does not help, it is worthwhile to completely reboot the system.
