My ubuntu is stuck at the "Waiting for network configuration error". I have found a bunch of questions similar to this.
My error Waiting for NW configuaration
Setup: A guest Linux machine in VMware ESXi with 3 network adapters connected to various networks. I have just cloned it, therefore, it is not assigned any other IP address. DHCP enabled. This is the FIRST time i am booting. I am stuck in the configuration mode. I am supposed to enter the recovery mode and configure the network.
Everyone seems to solve this problem by entering terminal by recovery boot. However, my problem is that
1) I have no root access. I want to reboot in recovery mode but it does not give the option
Recovery option does not appear in my ubuntu
2) I cannot enter CLI using ALT+CTRL+F2. I do not know why.
3) I tried changing the command line of the boot by adding 'rescue' as a command line argument. It did not work. Should I keep working in this direction?
4) I can try changing the /etc/network/interfaces from grub initramfs. Not sure how to edit the files.
I am kinda lost here about the actual cause of the problem and the direction to pick. Can anyone please help?
