I was bit by this bug today: I'm out of office for a week, and yesterday the network was down for several hours. Now my computer in the office doesn't have an IP address, and won't take a new one even when my colleague pulled the network cable and plugged it back in.
I'm the only one with a user account to my computer, so I guess power cycling it is the only option. Unfortunately there are some calculations running, and I don't know whether they are finished yet... Running 10.04 with the latest updates. -- NetworkManager does not activate Wired connection when DHCP server not present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274593 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
