Bug Description
Hello,
I have a BIG BIG problem since I move my ubuntu to a larger hard drive: network-manager give to all application the hostname localdomain.
If I change manually the /etc/hosts file, Network-Manager change it at the next boot.
To reinstall my system to another drive, I used this method:
1) compress all the drive: tar --exclude /media/* --exclude /proc/* --exclude /sys/* -zcfv /backupdrive/
2) I extract all the files on the new hard drive: tar zxfv /backupdrive/
3) I update grub menu and fstab with the new uuid hard drive
At the reboot, I saw on gdm screen: localdomain.
I logged to my account and I had no sound or network. The gnome applets sound was disabled and the network-manager applet didn't launch. I tried to launch it manually:
#nm-applet --sm-disable
** (nm-applet:7869): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_
Message: 'Connection ":1.58" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedeskto
To resolve the audio problem, I had to add my user in the audio group (why it runs well on my last hard drive?).
this is the groups my user have:
adm mail dialout cdrom audio plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare
Please hellllppp!!! I don't understand the reason of this problems, I just move files with identical rights to another drive.
LGDN.
To resolve this problem temporaly, I uninstalled NM and I'm returning use /etc/interfaces.
I forgot: I'm using a jaunty distribution updated from a intrepid install.
Network manager changes the hostname only for the hard rive change.
Thanks for your help.
LGDN.
