I'm sure network-manager is supposed to support multiple configurations. I need static IP on my system, I'm not using WiFi.
Here's what I do: * Click on nm-applet, * chose Manual Configuration * Click unlock * Chose eth0 * Uncheck Enable Roaming Mode * Change the configuration to use static IP. What I got: Networking is disabled. running /etc/init.d/networking restart fails to bring up IP addresses. /etc/network/interfaces reads: --------- auto lo inface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.20.5 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.20.1 --------- This setup works in 7.10, but fails miserably in 8.04, fresh from CD to the latest upgraded one. I can bring up the interfaces myself using ifconfig, but that really defeats the purpose. I have other annoyances/pet-peeves with Network Manager on other distros, this current one on ubuntu is the worst. -- Can't use static ip address with network-manager (and thus no VPN connections menu for static users) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/5364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
