After upgrading from Maverick to Natty using the dist-upgrade tool, my
Ethernet connection was completely unusable, because it was "unmanaged".
I was able to manually activate the interface with ifconfig and manually
run $(dhclient eth0) to get an IP from DHCP. Then I purged network-
manager and reinstalled it. But it's STILL UNMANAGED!
This is absolutely insane. Upgrading Kubuntu from Maverick to Natty
BREAKS NETWORKING, with NO WAY TO FIX IT other than mucking around in a
terminal!!!
This bug has been around for YEARS!!!
How can Natty be released like this?!? Average users won't have a clue
how to fix it and won't be able to find out because they can't get
online!!!
Is this intentional sabotage against Kubuntu? If not, what other
explanation is there for releasing a new version of Kubuntu that utterly
breaks networking upon upgrading?
Debian would never, ever release a new version that has such UTTERLY
FATAL bugs in it.
What does it take to get a CRITICAL bug like this fixed???
** Summary changed:
- [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)
+ Ethernet unusable after Maverick-Natty upgrade; device unmanaged; no way to
change it
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Status: Triaged => Confirmed
