[Desktop-packages] [Bug 297745] Re: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface
@Richard: I think I understand what Mathieu mean. At least, I see a case where it can be useful: imagine you want to reconfigure the box ip adress remotely. You may don't want it to be applied immediately, but for example at next reboot. So from my point of view, there should be a apply now AND apply at next reboot. At least, If the expected behavior for the settings isn't to change immediately , it should be notified and specified to the user. Mathieu, what do you think ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297745 Title: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Changing the IP address on a manually configured Ethernet interface and clicking OK does not result in the IP on the interface actually changing.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 297745] Re: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface
Sorry, I was not 100% complete in the previous note: when you change to static and clic apply... for the first time in Live mode, *something* happen immediately which leads the box to be disconnected from the network. So new changes are not effectively applied. Then , While disconnected, the check enable networking (right-clic on applet) is still and well checked. To recover network you have to LEFT-clic on applet, and select auto-eth0 to enable the interface again. There is something strange about that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297745 Title: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Changing the IP address on a manually configured Ethernet interface and clicking OK does not result in the IP on the interface actually changing.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 297745] Re: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface
Based of the expected behavior described by Mathieu, there is still an issue within the Live mode of ubuntu (Live CD/USB). Basically , in this mode, changing from DHCP (default) to static and clic apply... effectively applies changes _immediatly_ (which is not expected base on Mathieu note). Then, making change again is working like expected. Do I have to open another issue for that ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297745 Title: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Changing the IP address on a manually configured Ethernet interface and clicking OK does not result in the IP on the interface actually changing.

I can confirm this bug on a fresh ubuntu 10.04.4 (lucid). All you have to do to reproduce is installing, open network manager, set static ip adress and you'll see that you are disconnected (and never connected back on the new static IP). It means in clear, that if you need to change the ip adress remotely, you're busted.

What is important to notice is nothing more is happening in syslog when tweaking again network manager properties. The only way to get the new settings applied is: 1) right-clic on network applet, uncheck / check enable networking 2) unplug / plug the network cable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297745 Title: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Changing the IP address on a manually configured Ethernet interface and clicking OK does not result in the IP on the interface actually changing.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 297745] Re: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface
The process is wrong. It's expected behavior that the settings don't change immediately; since you can change the settings to any connection, not just the active one, and nm-applet needs to speak to NM to change the settings. What you'll want to do is edit the connection settings, then click on the connection itself again via nm-applet: for instance, if it's a Wifi network, click its name again just above the disconnect menu entry and the connection will be re-established. Since this is already covered in NetworkManager, I'll close this bug as Fix Released. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297745 Title: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Changing the IP address on a manually configured Ethernet interface and clicking OK does not result in the IP on the interface actually changing.

Who expects this behavior? I would expect that when I'm editing the active connection, the changes are applied immediately.
