Exact same problem here. Static IP config that worked fine in 8.04, borked when 8.10 upgrade came. Can't alter using NM gui (no password prompt - says I don't have permission). Connectivity to ISP is fine, but DNS doesn't work.
Example: $ ping google.com ping: unknown host google.com $ ping 64.233.187.99 PING 64.233.187.99 (64.233.187.99) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=1 ttl=241 time=39.9 ms 64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=2 ttl=241 time=47.5 ms 64 bytes from 64.233.187.99: icmp_seq=3 ttl=241 time=37.3 ms $ cat /etc/network/interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.1.128 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 # dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1 auto eth1 (why all the blank lines?) $ cat /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf [main] plugins=ifupdown,keyfile [ifupdown] managed=false Really guys? Is it THAT difficult to make a DNS lookup when using a static IP config? I'll be moving to Fedora if this isn't sorted out soon. -- [regression] devices/interfaces not set to "auto" in /etc/network/interfaces get blacklisted in 0.7 (intrepid) but were managed in 0.6 (hardy and before) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/279262 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
