The bug is that the desired result should be the default configuration, and that it's not really achievable though the available menu options. (The fact that I might be able to do it with some scripts and config hacking is not relevant for most users.)
In short, the bug is that Ubuntu can't tell if the network config changes after it has acquired a link-local address, and acquire a DHCP one. This is not an uncommon situation (many people use a home router, and it can be temporarily unavailable for any reason). It is not a configuration issue, because this can't be fixed through a reasonably simple configuration change by someone who isn't a network hacker. And in any case, it should be configured to work like that by default. -- avahi-autoipd takes over when the router fails, breaks DHCP https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153969 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
