Package: network-manager Severity: important
the Networking control panel of Gnome creates entries in /etc/network/interfaces, at least for static entries, and this breaks NetworkManager. Using a default desktop task install and configuring the network through the control panel results in an icon that claims there is no network and tells applications like Evolution (also part of the default desktop task install) that there is no network connection, and evolution therefore starting in offline mode. (As an aside I think NetworkManager is borked anyway as it requires X for a network connection to be started). There should probably be a global option in the networking control panel that enables/disables network-manager and/or adds/removes (or ucomments/comments) non-NetworkManager-compatible settings, or at least a warning in the control panel when there are settings that don't play well with NetworkManager. Better yet remove NetworkManager and replace it with a daemon that doesn't require X. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-5-686 Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
