Public bug reported:
I downloaded Ubuntu 9.04 alpha 4 to see what it is like but ran into a
problem. I posted the message below"Ask a question! section and got told
that I should have posted the question/bug report here. I don't know
whether this is a bug in 9.04 alpha 4 or not - I didn't have this
problem with 9.04 alpha 3. This is what I posted:-
"I have installed Ubuntu 9.04 on an old computer that was a dual boot
Windows XP and Ubuntu 8.10 and have also installed it on a USB memory
stick
If I boot the computer using the memory stick I can connect to the
internet with no trouble at all. If I boot the same (dual boot) machine
which now has Ubuntu 9.04 I cannot connect to the internet. The memory
stick and the computer have identical versions of 9.04 so I am at a loss
as to why the computer will connect when I use the memory stick but
won't when I boot it from its hard drive.
I connect to the internet via an ADSL modem which is connected to the
ethernet port on the computer and is described in 'Network Connections'
as 'eth0 with the word "Never" after it. The network adapter is an
NVIDIA nForce networking controller. "System/Preferences/network
Connections" and "System/Administration/Network Tools" have the same
settings when the computer is booted with the memory stick or when it is
booted from its hard drive. Holding the mouse pointer over the network
manager icon brings up the message "Wired Network Connection Auto eth0
active" when the computer is booted from the memory stick, but when it
is booted from the hard drive the same procedure gives the message "No
network connection". At one point it was saying "The network has been
disconnected".
As the computer hardware seems to be OK the problem seems to lie
somewhere in Ubuntu. Can anyone help me find where the problem is?"
Perhaps I should remove version 9.04 alpha 4 and wait until the final version?
