I am running 64-bit Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop (in place upgrade from 09.10) on an 3.0 Ghz AMD Phenom II 945 Quad Core / 6 GB RAM, Network-Manager was not present prior to or after upgrading (intentionally). Networking is handled by a traditional interfaces file. Sometimes immediately following boot up, there is (at least temporarily) no dns name resolution and consequently no internet access until a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart is performed, the output of which is as follows:
u...@host:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [sudo] password for user: * Reconfiguring network interfaces... There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.eth0.pid with pid 2324 killed old client process, removed PID file Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client V3.1.3 Copyright 2004-2009 Internet Systems Consortium.
