That's a good idea, but make sure Network Manager (a.k.a. Network 
Mangler) doesn't get in the way (stop or purge it). Another option to 
try is wicd. I've had success in the past when Network Manager failed to 
connect.

Not completely empty, the 'lo' entry is still needed.

What do you mean by neither of those work? There is no output, there 
is not error or the problem is not fixed? FWIW I prefer invoking the 
script directly (which will also take advantage of automatic completion 
if I don't know the script name[1])

/etc/init.d/network-manager restart

[1] yes, I know about bash-completion, but AFAIR it's not installed 
and/or activated by default

Sorry, I should have clarified: the scripts execute correctly but wireless 
still does not connect.  I'll try tinkering with the /etc/network/interfaces 
and see where that gets me.

The problem is more irritating than intrusive and it violates that whole 'you 
should never have to restart Linux'* design goal.

Try to bring up the interface(s) manually to see if that works. Should
at least help to isolate the problem.

Wireless can't connect after I restart X

2011-05-16 Thread Borden Rhodes
I'm not sure this is a bug or a problem with me, so I'm posting it here so I 
don't clutter up bug triaging with something which may not be an issue.  
Here's my problem.

In spite of my earlier post ('Why does Linux crash?') I can every so often 
CTRL+ALT+F# my way into a shell to recover a broken X.  I restart X by typing 
'sudo service kdm restart' (Although I don't think the fact that I'm using KDE 
is relevant) and I go cheerfully back to KDM's login screen.

So I log in correctly but I notice that I'm not connected to my wireless 
network.  Network Manager runs just fine, shows my devices correctly, and even 
shows my wireless network with perfect strength.  All the pieces are there but 
it just won't connect.  Hoping that, maybe, it's just KDE that's broken, I 
drop back into tty1 and try to ping out.  Again, nothing.

I've tried 'sudo service network-manager restart' and 'sudo service networking 
restart' thinking that maybe it's choked and needs restarting.  Neither of 
those work, though.  When I 'sudo reboot', everything works again.  So, what 
am I doing wrong or what should my bug report say?

With thanks,
