[Bug 381586] Re: Add a warning to the interfaces file that interfaces present in this file won't be managed by network-manager
I haven't seen reports of such issues on new installs and updating /etc/network/interfaces on existing installs is out of the question. I think it'd have probably been a good idea to indeed do that change when we switched to Network Manager for the desktop but don't think it's worth the trouble doing it now (4 years later). ** Changed in: ifupdown (Ubuntu) Status: New = Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381586 Title: Add a warning to the interfaces file that interfaces present in this file won't be managed by network-manager To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/381586/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
