[Bug 86745] Re: NetworkManager applet doesn't understand device with two ip addresses
/usr/share/doc/network-manager/README.Debian contains excerpt: Configuration of wireless and ethernet interfaces ~ Only devices that are *not* listed in /etc/network/interfaces or which have been configured "auto" and "dhcp" (with no other options) are managed by NM. So I'm using additional options and that's why NM fails to work. Too bad some applications rely on NM to detect the online status. -- NetworkManager applet doesn't understand device with two ip addresses https://launchpad.net/bugs/86745 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 86745] Re: NetworkManager applet doesn't understand device with two ip addresses
Thanks for your suggestion, it didn't work though. When I unticked (disabled) eth0 from System->Network->Connections, my /etc/network/interfaces was modified accordingly (auto eth0 was removed). Then I re-enabled eth0 (auto eth0 was added back), but NetworkManager Applet still refuses to find any network devices. When I define alias for eth0 using post-up and post-down hooks as above and enable eth0, NetworkManager just says: Feb 21 20:36:19 localhost NetworkManager: ^IGoing to sleep. Feb 21 20:36:19 localhost NetworkManager: ^IWaking up from sleep. When I comment out post-up and post-down hooks, NetworkManager fills the syslog with action, applet finds eth0 and works normally. I forgot to mention that I'm using Feisty and network-manager is 0.6.4-6ubuntu2. -- NetworkManager applet doesn't understand device with two ip addresses https://launchpad.net/bugs/86745 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 86745] Re: NetworkManager applet doesn't understand device with two ip addresses
Did you just install nm-applet? Usually you have to go into the System > Administration > Networking and disable the devices by clicking on them and hitting properties, then uncheck the "enable this connection" box. Log out then Log back in and it should detect them/take over controlling them. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Chris Burgan Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- NetworkManager applet doesn't understand device with two ip addresses https://launchpad.net/bugs/86745 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
