Really, I'm not on anything mind-altering...I reinstalled, rebooted, the nm-applet icon did not have a red "X" on it (as it did on the first reboot of earlier installations), and when I ran ifconfig -a in a terminal my system had the proper configuration for our network.
I got ahead of myself and started "Update Manager" and forced it to check for updates, which is working at the moment. Under previous installations when I did this Update Manager hung before downloading anything; I also couldn't access anything on my local network via ssh, using either dns names or ip addresses. I'm willing to reinstall again and run apport-collect 445550 immediately after installing if you'd like. I also just ran "apport-collect 445550" after Update Manager finished updating the installation but before restarting. After restarting I still have network connectivity and successfully ran Update Manager and forced it to check for updates. I still have a couple of questions. First, /etc/NetworkManager/nm- system-settings.conf contains the section [ifupdown] with the line "managed=false"; at the same time, /etc/network/interfaces has no entry for eth0. So, I would have thought that with the "managed=false" line in nm-system-settings.conf that /etc/network/interfaces would have had to contain entries like auto eth0 eth0 iface inet dhcp in order for eth0 to get an IP via dhcp, no? -Tom -- 9.10(beta) - wired network auto config problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445550 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
