** Description changed: + Note: I am not sure if this is an issue with unity, with compiz, or with + some other component such as dbus, or if it is multiple bugs. + At work I use a bridged network interface (br0) over eth0 on my laptop to seamlessly connect my laptop and its virtual machines to the corporate network. As Network Manager cannot handle bridged connections, I am forced to use the old /etc/network/interfaces file to configure the bridge. (Note that I removed all network manager entries that reference eth0 before creating the bridge.) This setup worked fine in 12.04 and earlier versions. I was able to reconfigure the bridge (when necessary) and restart it using the command - line without issue. + line without issue using those releases. When my computer is booted + with the bridged configuration, 12.10 uses the bridge to connect to the + network without issue. The problem occurs only when I restart + networking. In 12.10, issuing the command "sudo service networking restart" or "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" causes Unity to instantly and completely die. The compiz window manager decorations disappear and do not - restart, the keyboard becomes unresponsive, services such as bluetooth + restart, keyboard shortcuts do not work, services such as bluetooth become unresponsive. Existing windows remained (without window manager decoration) on the screen, but appeared hung. With a USB mouse I was able to move the mouse and right click to open menus, but they were unresponsive to clicks. I was unable to do anything in Unity to correct the situation. I was able to switch to a virtual terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and log in to the command line. From there I was able to restart the computer. I have been able to replicate this consistently. I am attaching my .xsession-errors file. Note that the entries up to and including line 110 were made before issuing the network restart command. Entries after 110 resulted from issuing the command.
