Just a quick bit of info as I saw a similar problem...which may or may not have been related on 9.10.
The problem as I see it was caused by have a static ip setup on eth0 - but the network manager was 'swiping' the connection and attempting dhcp (which is not available on the particular network). I found that the following changes to my /etc/network/interfaces cured problems. 1. On lines following iface use a tab to indent not spaces. 2. Between keywords and data (i.e. netmask 255.255.0.0) use a single space not multiple spaces. After a reboot this cured my problems. -- [regression] devices/interfaces not set to "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces get blacklisted in 0.7 (intrepid) but were managed in 0.6 (hardy and before) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279262 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
