Public bug reported:
I loaded the 9.10 beta version of ubuntu on my dell E6500 laptop and am
unable to configure a network connection. When I select
system->preferences->network connection->wired->eth0->edit->ipv4
settings->method->manual and then add an address and netmask and gateway
and dns servers and then select apply and enter the needed
authentication, the requested network connection is not setup. The tool
forces the interface back to DHCP and /etc//NetworkManager/system-
connections/eth0 contains the line autoconnect=true (i.e., the manual
address is forced back to DHCP). Repeating the above menu selections
reveals that the method remains at Automatic (DHCP).
Moreover, when I run appropriate ifconfig and route commands as root and
create an /etc/resolv.conf file with nameserver lines for DNS servers to
overcome this deficiency in the network connection tool, I am able to
access the local network, but the routing to the outside world does not
work (i.e., /etc/resolv.conf is being ignored). Linux has never done
this previously. Why is ubuntu trashing fundamental linux procedures? No
matter how many conveniences you implement, this sort of change is bad.
The above problem still exists after running the command "sudo
/etc/init.d/apparmor stop" (i.e., this fix for an earlier bug does not
help).
I am attaching a buglogs file with the output of the following commands:
lsb_release -rd
uname -a
cat /proc/version_signature
lspci -nn
lspci -vnvn
dmesg
