So I tried again with a fresh install of Jaunty. Turns out that "make available to all users" is the default, so I un-checked for eth0 before running the upgrade. The upgrade ran OK, and I made sure to unplug the Ethernet cable before rebooting.
After the reboot, I plugged in the cable and things worked as expected. On a whim, I checked the applet and this is where it got strange... the applet showed me connected to "Auto eth0", but also showed a second "Auto eth0" and a "Auto Ethernet" connections under "Available". I checked them out in the Connections Editor, and "Auto Ethernet" shows it a Last Used of "2 hours ago", whereas the other two "Auto eth0" entries show "never" ( even though one of them is the currently active connection ). Also the two "Auto eth0" differ only due to the "available to all users" setting. -- NetworkManager 0.8 can not get IPv4 address for wired Auto connections because IPv6 fails https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/435073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
