Package: gnome-system-tools Version: 2.14.0-3 Severity: important Open Network manager and try to set a static ip address for your LAN network device. it will result in a dhcp anyway
steps: 1) open network (System -> Administration -> Networks) 2) set a static DNS (say 192.168.1.2) and some DNS 3) clik ok 4) verify your network doesn't have that IP and doesn't use the DNS you provided! It use dhcp ones work around: edit /etc/network/interfaces # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 auto eth1 as you see there's an "auto eth1" that shouldn't be there! simply remove or comment it then open /etc/resolv.conf and manually set your DNS issue the command ifdown eth1 && ifup eth1 or use whatever ethX you have the bug is "important" becouse people who don't know how to manually set their network will be puzzled by this behavior and will not know what to do! For this people the gnome-system-tools network manager is useless -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-686-bigmem (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=it_IT.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=it_IT.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages gnome-system-tools depends on: ii gconf2 2.20.1-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.19-3 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.20.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-7 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libavahi-client3 0.6.21-4 Avahi client library ii libavahi-common3 0.6.21-4 Avahi common library ii libavahi-glib1 0.6.21-4 Avahi glib integration library ii libbonobo2-0 2.20.1-1 Bonobo CORBA interfaces library ii libbonoboui2-0 2.20.0-1 The Bonobo UI library ii libc6 2.7-3 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.4.10-1+lenny2 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.1-3 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libesd-alsa0 [libesd0] 0.2.36-3 Enlightened Sound Daemon (ALSA) - ii libfontconfig1 2.4.2-1.2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgconf2-4 2.20.1-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libgcrypt11 1.2.4-2 LGPL Crypto library - runtime libr ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.3-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome-keyring0 2.20.2-1 GNOME keyring services library ii libgnome2-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 library - runtime file ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgnomeui-0 2.20.1.1-1 The GNOME 2 libraries (User Interf ii libgnomevfs2-0 1:2.20.1-1 GNOME Virtual File System (runtime ii libgnutls13 2.0.4-1 the GNU TLS library - runtime libr ii libgpg-error0 1.4-2 library for common error values an ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.1-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libnautilus-extension1 2.18.3-3 libraries for nautilus components ii liborbit2 1:2.14.7-0.1 libraries for ORBit2 - a CORBA ORB ii libpango1.0-0 1.18.3-1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libpng12-0 1.2.15~beta5-3 PNG library - runtime ii libpopt0 1.10-3 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libtasn1-3 1.1-1 Manage ASN.1 structures (runtime) ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.9-1 X cursor management library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxfixes3 1:4.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous 'fixes' extensio ii libxi6 2:1.1.3-1 X11 Input extension library ii libxinerama1 1:1.0.2-1 X11 Xinerama extension library ii libxml2 2.6.30.dfsg-3 GNOME XML library ii libxrandr2 2:1.2.2-1 X11 RandR extension library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii perl 5.8.8-12 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii system-tools-backends 1.4.2-5 System Tools to manage computer co ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-7 compression library - runtime Versions of packages gnome-system-tools recommends: ii gksu 2.0.0-5 graphical frontend to su ii gnome-control-center 1:2.18.1-1 utilities to configure the GNOME d -- no debconf information _______________________________________________ pkg-gnome-maintainers mailing list pkg-gnome-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-gnome-maintainers
