Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager
Hello there! I was in process of setting up a Hardy system on my companys NON-DHCP network, and ran into the following bugs: 1) From a clean install: While setting up my IP information, I had initially forgotten to enter my DNS information (I found this out when I was able to ping other machines but couldnt ping yahoo.com). When I went back in to Enter the IP information, I entered it onto the blank line that was available, and clicked Close. I was still unable to ping, and when I checked the settings, the IP addressed that I entered for the DNS was not there. I attempted this a few times, each and every time resulted in the DNS ip not being saved. To get around this, I had to manually enter a nameservers entry in /etc/resolv.conf. 2) After updating the system to todays packages: I had noticed that the system was not connecting to the network. I checked the settings nder Network Manager, and it was showing the correct settings. I changed to Roaming mode, then changed back in hopes that the settings would take, it did not. I killed the network manager, and ran it under a terminal. I changed the IP address to another available IP, and it Finally took the change. Suggestion: Add an APPLY button next to the Close button to force the settings to be written right then and there. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- [Hardy] Network monitor not saving settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204412 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
