I did a bit more investigation of the problem to see if it could be patched. /etc/resolv.conf appears to be the definitive place where the network settings are stored. This file starts with:
# generated by NetworkManager, do not edit! I checked the source of gnome-system-tools with: grep -R NetworkManager * and found no instances, so I guess the file must be written by another component, such as dhcp. This is true even when network-admin is used to change the settings. Clearly more investigation is required, but I thought I'd mention this in case anyone else is thinking of developing a patch. (I have found a very satisfactory application-specific workaround, so my motivation is waning.) -- [network-admin] net-mgr doesn't remember location https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74454 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
