Those who need a static ip Change your /etc/resolv.conf to something like below (replace the x's with ip addresses of your dns servers) with the command: sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
#/etc/resolv.conf search yourdomain nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Change your /etc/network/interfaces to something like below (replace the x's with your ip addresses and gateways) with the command: sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces #/etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx After that restart networking and your dns issues should be resolved. sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Make sure you get rid all the extra things in that mysteriously appeared in the upgrade from 8.04 to 8.10 All that being said, it is advised to stay away from network manager until these issues are resolved. If you attempt to change things w/ network manager and do a reboot, the resolv.conf file may be written over to be blank. -- [regression] devices/interfaces not set to "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces get blacklisted in 0.7 (intrepid) but were managed in 0.6 (hardy and before) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279262 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
