If you've moved an Ubuntu virtual machine or modified it and then suddenly had a problem getting networking to work, you might want to read through this page, because I've figured out a workaround to get it working again.

The full error message is this:

eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device 

There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 6847440

eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

Bind socket to interface: No such device

Failed to bring up eth0.

Run this command to edit the interfaces file, and then change eth0 to eth1.

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

After you run this command to restart networking, everything should likely start working again:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

You should be able to run a ping command, or use ifconfig -a and everything will be working.
