I'm using Gutsy Gibbon and I use the GUI in Network Manager to set a static ip (and gateway and subnet mask, etc.) for one of my ethernet interfaces. Unlike the original post, there is no message that says "changing interface configuration". I just hit OK, and then I close the dialog.
After doing the above steps, my internet no longer works. Before setting my ethernet device to a static ip, it was on roaming mode, and that worked fine. When I would run ifconfig -a on roaming mode, my ethernet device had a valid inet address, but after switching to static, I lose that. I'm not sure what other commands I should run to check to see what effect setting static ip had. Also, I think there is a separate bug in NetworkManager, because when I change the said ethernet device back to roaming mode (to try to regain access to the internet) and close the dialog, it doesn't work immediately. I have to "sudo killall NetworkManager" and then "sudo NetworkManager" in order to restore my internet connection. So I really have two problems: * setting the static ip through the GUI in NetworkManager fails to work (and does not tell me how it is failing) * Setting an ethernet device to roaming mode does not take effect until after I reboot NetworkManager Note: I'm not sure how relevant this is, but I have two ethernet devices. Only one is connected with a live ethernet cable. -- Can't set static IP --network manager-- https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/178775 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
