Multiple IP addresses per NIC on Ubuntu Desktop 14.04

Question

I have read a lot of tutorial about how to add virtual IP addresses per NIC but it doesn't work for me. All tutorials that I must edit /etc/network/interfaces but when I restart the service, I always have an error.

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255

iface eth0:1 inet static
address 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255

How can I do it with Ubuntu Desktop ? thanks a lot !

ps: I want to use this file and not the graphical tool.

If you are using the Desktop version, it is possible that your network be managed by something else like NetworkManager... — ETL, Feb 03 '15 at 15:02
"I always have an error" -- we're not psychic; what's the error? — fukawi2, Feb 04 '15 at 00:16
The network manager override my customization. I have tested this on a Ubuntu server and it is work fine. — Cyrill Gremaud, Feb 04 '15 at 06:48

(I'm just going on what I you have posted as your config) I have done this on mine. The following works:

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255

iface eth0:0 inet static
address 192.168.1.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255

Note the initial eth0 is not an alias, you need leave this as eth0. Then eth0:# for alias. (Assuming this is the whole file you have posted)
