This bug still exitsts in lucid-current: > uname -a Linux unicron 2.6.32-42-generic #95-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 25 15:56:09 UTC 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux > lsb_release -r Release: 10.04 > aptitude show network-manager |grep Version Version: 0.8-0ubuntu3.3
This bug hit me when hibernating the machine failed. On all subsequent restarts, the machine would not automatically reconnect to the wired network, but dhclient could grab an IP if run manually. All "network state aware" applications, ie: Chrome & pidgin exhibited broken behaviours after obtaining a network address - Pidgin refused to connect to any services at all. Chrome could browse, but all application icons on the 'New Tab' page were grayed out, and no plugins would start. to fix DHCP, I had to edit /etc/network/interfaces, and uncomment the following line: # iface eth0 inet dhcp while this allowed the machine to connect to the network at boot, the problems with the applications persisted. Thanks to this bug report, I was able to find that /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state contained the line: NetworkingEnabled=false by changing this line to true, then running: sudo service network-manager restart I was able to reconnect. since 10.04 is still under LTS support, I certainly hope there is an effort to fix this 2+ year old bug, rather than hope it goes away when support is dropped in 2013... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/524454 Title: Networking is disabled on boot (usually after suspend/hibernate) Status in NetworkManager: Fix Released Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “network-manager” source package in Lucid: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” source package in Maverick: Fix Released Status in “network-manager” package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager My networking is disabled every time I boot. To correct, I must right- click on Network Manager applet and choose "Enable Networking," after which my wireless networks become available and I can get online. I'm using Lucid on a MacBookPro2,1 ------SRU details---- Impact: This bug keeps the the networking disabled after a resume from suspend/hibernate. Right-clicking on the Network Manager applet and choosing "Enable Networking" solves the problem. How the bug has been addressed: NM 0.8 has some bugs witch are partially listed at http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ReleaseProcess The upstream has provided two patches (both are attached to this bug). There are two patches because the person who did the fix forgot something from the first commit and therefore made a second commit. The links to commits and patches can be found at comments 59 and 61. Some of these bugs including this bug are fixed in NM 0.8.1 TEST CASE: Suspend or hibernate. The upstream report isn't very detailed about this, but in my case that process is unsuccessful. On resume you should not have a working network. To solve: 1) run service network-manager stop rm /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state service network-manager start or 2) right-click on Network Manager applet and choose "Enable Networking," or 3) Reboot. Regression potential: Really none. This bug is a regression in the new NM 0.8. The upstream has fixed this bug and some other bugs in NM 0.8.1. ------------------------ ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Date: Fri Feb 19 14:25:27 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) IpRoute: 10.45.43.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 10.45.43.23 metric 2 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlan0 scope link metric 1000 default via 10.45.43.1 dev wlan0 proto static Keyfiles: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Package: network-manager 0.8~rc2-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: LANG=en_US.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-13.18-generic SourcePackage: network-manager Uname: Linux 2.6.32-13-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/524454/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
