Public bug reported: Binary package hint: netbase
Ubuntu 9.10 package: 4.35ubuntu2 Network manager has no way of specifying a static ip (because the "auto eth0" entry will override any specified static ip) so most users are defaulting back to the standard way of specifying a static ip using /etc/network/interfaces, however networking does not start up correctly with these settings. To reproduce: 1) Remove network manager and edit /etc/network/interfaces as outlined in this page http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=1291 2) Reboot: $ping www.google.com ping: unknown host www.google.com $ping 64.233.169.104 (google's ip) connect: Network is unreachable $sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart * Reconfiguring network interfaces... [OK] $sudo service networking stop stop: Unknown instance: $sudo service networking start networking stop/waiting For other users having this problem see: http://osdir.com/ml/ubuntu-users/2009-11/msg03482.html http://ubuntu-virginia.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1310645 I am personally having this problem on two separate computers (one upgrade, one fresh install) thanks. ** Affects: netbase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- network won't start if static ip specified in karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492160 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
