Bug Description
After installing 8.10 (8th time; 7 times "upgrade," 1st from CD) when I attempt to surf the web, update, or do any function, which requires an internet connection, I get an error message. "Error: root: could not find def gateway info in/proc file "usr/share/
The 2 earlier Ubuntu versions were basically plug and play. I simply installed the operating system from CD or on line, and it automatically connected to the internet. I am now still running Hardy Heron (8.04) because I lose internet connectivity when I try to "upgrade" to Intrepid Ibex (8.10) either on line, or with the CD. What gives. I did not have to manually set up my connections with Fiesty Fawn (7.04) or Hardy Heron (8.04). The eth0 Property box (Network) are all empty and grayed out by the way. The only check box there says "roaming mode enabled." The other problem I am concerned about is all my machines are 64 bit, not 32 bit. Hardy Heron (8.04) offers a specific build for this architecture. I do not see anywhere on the CD label or on line that Intrepid Ibex (8.10) is designed to take full advantage of 64 bit AMD architecture.
Hi dennisshipman,
Can you post some system info please? . Network card being used, output of lspic, uname -a, lsmod, /etc/network/ interfaces file, etc.
Thanks.
