I can confirm this bug on a fresh ubuntu 10.04.4 (lucid). All you have to do to reproduce is installing, open network manager, set static ip adress and you'll see that you are disconnected (and never connected back on the new static IP).
It means in clear, that if you need to change the ip adress remotely, you're busted. I followed instructions for debug ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingNetworkManager#Getting_NetworkManager_debug_logs ) I get the following error. $ sudo python debug-helper.py --nm debug [sudo] password for sound4: Setting NetworkManager log level to 'debug' Traceback (most recent call last): File "debug-helper.py", line 37, in <module> nm.SetLogging(args.do_set_nm_logging, ','.join(args.log_domains)) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/dbus/proxies.py", line 68, in __call__ return self._proxy_method(*args, **keywords) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/dbus/proxies.py", line 140, in __call__ **keywords) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/dbus/connection.py", line 620, in call_blocking message, timeout) dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "SetLogging" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" doesn't exist PS: I am running the fresh install from virtualbox. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297745 Title: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/297745/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
