Another confirmation here. I selected "auto etho" and used "edit connections" it to change it from dhcp to a static ip address. When I told network-manager to reconnect it properly assigned the static address.
I then rebooted. I expected that, since the "system connection" box was checked, my static ip address would be assigned before I logged in. However, I checked and found that my interface was configured using dhcp. I then logged in to gnome and found that it was still configured using dhcp. When I went to "edit connections" in network-manager there was no sign of the changes I had made to "auto etho" -- Static IP ethernet network setting is lost after reboot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303068 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
