I also found that gheeke's solution workds for me, but, if this isn't a bug, it's very bad user interface design. The order that you follow the steps matters - and I can't see why it should.
If I add a static connection and then delete the system-created dhcp auto-eth0 connection, the dhcp connection is silently reinstated on startup, regardless of how I toggle the System Setting and Connect Automatically flags. However, if I reverse the order and delete the dhcp connection before adding my static connection, I get prompted for my password when I recreate the new connection and the new configuration survives a reboot. I've tested this behaviour on two different Intrepid boxes, one of which was a clean install and the other a Hardy upgrade. -- Can't use static ip address with network-manager (and thus no VPN connections menu for static users) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/5364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
