Package: network-manager Version: 0.7.0~svn4191-1 Severity: normal I use network-manager for my laptop, managing switching between wireless and wired and between fixed (work/home) and dhcp (roaming).
I'm finding that when I boot up, network-manager is "started" and the interface is brought up (ifconfig shows eth0), set for example to the last static IP which was active when I shut the computer down the previous night. But /etc/resolv.conf is unconfigured. resolvconf is installed, with the symlink existing: $ ls -l /etc/resolv.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2008-12-05 17:05 /etc/resolv.conf -> /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN $ In order to get network-manager populating resolv.conf, I need to start the Network Settings tool (System->Administration->Network in the Gnome menu) and click explicitly on the saved location (even though its settings are already in place in the Connections tab). Simply restarting the connection (clicking the tick-box off and on again) is not enough. Only reselecting the Location gets the job done. I pulled network-manager 0.7 beta from experimental - I need the WPA wireless support. I suspect the resolv.conf problems started after this but I'm not completely sure. I'm not sure if this is related to Ubuntu Bug #256480 or not, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/256480 Or is network-manager tripping over Debian bug #408292, ignoring a "static" ip configuration even thought it set it up itself? I'm filing this as a bug separated to #408292 since I did use network-manager to configure the static ip (which I need to be able to switch on and off depending on where I take my laptop). Let me know which further information you need me to provide.
