Bug Description
Binary package hint: netbase
Ubuntu 9.10
package: 4.35ubuntu2
Network manager has no way of specifying a static ip (because the "auto eth0" entry will override any specified static ip) so most users are defaulting back to the standard way of specifying a static ip using /etc/network/
To reproduce:
1) Remove network manager and edit /etc/network/
http://
2) Reboot:
$ping www.google.com
ping: unknown host www.google.com
$ping 64.233.169.104 (google's ip)
connect: Network is unreachable
$sudo /etc/init.
* Reconfiguring network interfaces... [OK]
$sudo service networking stop
stop: Unknown instance:
$sudo service networking start
networking stop/waiting

I am personally having this problem on two separate computers (one upgrade, one fresh install)
thanks.
As far as uninstalling network manager I ran:
sudo update-rc.d -f NetworkManager remove manager- gnome
sudo apt-get remove network-manager network-
