I use Kubuntu Karmic and can confirm this issue. Also i fail to see why this is rated as "medium" rather than "high". Networking is of central importance to a system today. I need to switch network settings easily in order to work professionally with my system in varying environments, hence the need for a management utility. This includes static wired setups. I need to have a static ip, in order to serve stuff from my system to the local network. Currently this means _after each logoff/reboot_: 1. I have to log in 2. I have to change the active connection (from Auto eth0) 3. I have to stay logged in (e.g. over night, so other devices can acces the system via static IP) as opposed to log off and let the system run on log-in-screen.
tl;dr: It might seem like a minor problem, yet it has a lot of consequences. <rant> Network management worked in Kubuntu 8.04, afaic. I find the persistance of this bug rather disappointing. <rant off> -- Undeletable and unchangeable "auto eth0" connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/306469 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
