Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Observed with:
- network-manager 0.7~~svn20080818t061112+eni0-0ubuntu1
- network-manager-gnome 0.7~~svn20080817t183748-0ubuntu1
(Intrepid Alpha 4, 64 bits)
On my desktop computer, I have a wired network connection that I want to
configure with a static address. Every time I choose the "Manual" method
via the new N-M-A 0.7 applet and configure my static settings, they only
last until reboot. After reboot, the settings are lost, and N-M reverts
to the "Automatic (DHCP)" method.
Looking through my syslog, I see a line like this during each boot:
Aug 19 21:00:26 tylke nm-system-settings: Can not read directory
'/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections': Error opening directory
'/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections': No such file or directory
The directory doesn't in fact exist, even though I've just reconfigured
my manual settings once more:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /etc/NetworkManager/
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-08-19 10:33 dispatcher.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23 2008-08-07 12:50 nm-system-settings.conf
I cannot seem to find any errors about failures to create or write to
the named directory, not in syslog at least.
Please note that LP bug #176325 could be the same issue reported here,
or perhaps another issue that I had with the previous version and that
is now cleared (manual DNS settings would not stick even for the current
session, and resolv.conf was left empty).
