Well, I don't know about the Desktop CD, but I have Karmic installed on the hard disk already.
In addition to the original report I have to re-add two lines to /etc/network/interfaces: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp to disable nm-applet on the ethernet card. These two lines were default at the time of the original report. After adding the lines, I can proceed as described above. On average, it takes two restarts to get the network up. I never managed to get a working network with the default setup (without these entries). -- DHCP very slow and unreliable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311968 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to dhcp3 in ubuntu. -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
