I should also add: because in my testing I was alternating among the "old fashioned" /etc/network/interfaces, network manager, and wicd, I had turned off the "old fashioned" style by simply deleting /etc/network/interfaces. Network manager still configures lo properly in that case, but seemingly wicd does not. It seems one must have this line:
auto lo iface lo inet loopback in the /etc/network/interfaces as described here: http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/6527/1/. -- rpcinfo can't contact portmapper https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/507546 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
