I just realized that this _might_ be relevant: I've made my /etc/resolv.conf file unwritable by doing "chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf". (I did this to avoid an unrelated problem: my DHCP server is sorta on drugs, and always tells my Ubuntu machine to use a bogus DNS server ... it's a long story ...)
I just now tried making it writable again, thinking that perhaps network-manager was endlessly trying to modify that file ... but it had no effect. (So I've restore the unwritable-ness.) -- "spins" constantly, as if it's acquiring an IP address https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212712 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
