Binary package hint: network-manager
After installing a fresh Kubuntu Hardy Alpha 3 on a second hard drive, I
changed my network configuration to a manually configured IP address.
Soon after, applications refused to run, networking stopped working
altogether, and when I went to restart networking from Konsole using
"sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart", I got this error: "sudo: unable
to resolve host ross-desktop". Obviously, my alias to 127.0.0.1 got
knocked out. So I booted into recovery mode and fixed my "/etc/hosts"
file to include the correct alias. I rebooted back into KDE to find
KNetworkManager saying "No Network Device Found". Going into the Network
configuration, my device is listed and enabled, yet, I have no access to
the internet. I switched my networking back to DHCP, which returned a
private address (169.*.*.*). Switching back to the manual configuration,
I am able to access the internet, but I am now getting the same error
from sudo.
I cannot do any updates because Adept refuses to run and I obviously
can't run "apt-get install update" without sudo, so right now I have a
brand new HOSED system. The only choice I have right now is to wipe it
and reinstall, and just let it sit in DHCP until I run all the updates.
After that, I'll try the switch to manual configuration again, and if it
hoses my system again, I will be furious.
P.S: All I wanted to do was try out KDE4 and the new 2.6.24 kernel...is
that so much to ask?
