Wow, thank you so much for the detailed email -- I was a bit weary of trying out things for a different version, but you seem to have explained everything well and I would be happy to try it, and possibly update instructions for Natty. However, the problem on the friend's machine managed to fix itself in a rather strange fashion: I switched from the Unity Desktop Shell to just using Gnome Classic, and then network manager seemed to connect without problem. This seems totally strange to me and I would have to do some more testing to confirm that this is the case and not something else silly that I was doing. Anyways, for now issue resolved by using Gnome (selecting Ubuntu Classic at the login screen for 11.04) :-/ - will try and do some follow-up debugging when I have access to the friend's machine and try and confirm this behaviour. -Sanjay -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
