Setting a Static Ip on Ubuntu
I'm struggling with setting my static ip, nothing seems to work.
When I enter my interfaces, it says (by default):
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
And that's okay, so, now I just want to assign a static ip, and I am using the wlan0 device in order to do so, as eth0 is unavailable. I try to add in below, for example:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.0.87/24
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.87/24, 8.8.8.8
wpa-ssid 'user'
wpa-psk 'password' # I also tried it with hex value without quotation marks
For sure, I know that my gateway is like that, all of it comes from the interface settings under nmcli dev list iface wlan0
, but then it does not work. When I reboot the system, despite my network manager is properly disabled, the connections do not work, it just freezes and times out every time.
What could possibly wrong here?

Address needs to be a single address, not a range. Leave out the /24, also applies to dns

Unless this is server (no GUI) you should consider setting your interface via the network-manager nm-applet GUI instead of modifying the /etc/network/interfaces file.

The fault was ultimately the matter or removing quotation marks from the username and putting a value in a hex way. Anyway, I took notes off from your hints and I'll improve my game. Thanks.

Using the Network Manager GUI did the trick for me on Xubuntu 16.04:
Edit the wifi connection, and on IPv4 tab, enter:
- Method: Manual
- Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your static address,in this case: 192.168.1.128)
- Netmask: 24
- Gateway: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your gateway address,in this case: 192.168.1.1)
- DNS Server: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your gateway address,in this case: 192.168.1.1)
Here's an example screenshot:

To setting up a static IP in Ubuntu the proper way is:
Disable the graphical management of your network connection in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
Gather the information for the static IP (interface, IP to be used, default gateway, subnet, DNS)
Modify /etc/network/interfaces to include the information above.
Restart networking and network-manager services.

Address needs to be a single address, not a range. Leave out the /24, also applies to dns

Unless this is server (no GUI) you should consider setting your interface via the network-manager nm-applet GUI instead of modifying the /etc/network/interfaces file.
