no cable network

[eva]

Hello,

This is an Acer laptop Aspire 1640. I normally connect to internet through wireless. This time I plugged int the Ethernet cable and I had internet. No ping to the Gateway, no ping to www.google. I don't use any firewall.
Doing

$ ifconfig

everything looked fine. I went to the Network icon, and changed "Itinerary mode" into "DHCP". But still didnt work. I changed into "Static IP" and it didn't work either. I did the following on a terminal, but still didnt work, and had an unknown error to me:

I never heard of this error message before:

SIOCADDRT: File exists

I attach the /var/log/syslog file.

Thank you.

Eva.

This bug was reported against the linux-meta package when it likely should have been reported against the linux package instead. We are automatically transitioning this to the linux kernel package so that the appropriate teams are notified and made aware of this issue. Thanks.

Hi eva,

Please be sure to confirm this issue exists with the latest development release of Ubuntu. ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ . Please then run following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux 270153

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I have copied and pasted what you said, but it says it doesnt find the order. This is what I have done:

eva@eva-laptop:~$ apport-collect -p linux 270153
bash: apport-collect: orden no encontrada

So I looked for it in the repositories and:

eva@eva-laptop:~$ aptitude search apport-collect
eva@eva-laptop:~$ aptitude search apport
i apport - automatically generate crash reports for d
i apport-gtk - GTK+ frontend for the apport crash report
p apport-qt - Qt4 frontend for the apport crash report s
p apport-retrace - tools for reprocessing Apport crash report
i python-apport - apport crash report handling library

I have Ubuntu 8.10 and:

eva@eva-laptop:~$ uname -r
2.6.24-24-generic

Anyways, my Ubuntu works perfect now. This is not an issue any more, but if you still need me to run that command, let me know what to do about it.

Thanks.

Thanks Eva,

I'm going to go ahead and mark this as fixed based on your previous comment. No need to run the apport-collect command. Also, just for future reference, the apport-collect command in only supported in Jaunty or newer releases. Thanks.
