Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
Observed with:
- network-manager 0.7~~svn2008081
- network-
(Intrepid Alpha 4, 64 bits)
On my desktop computer, I have a wired network connection that I want to configure with a static address. Every time I choose the "Manual" method via the new N-M-A 0.7 applet and configure my static settings, they only last until reboot. After reboot, the settings are lost, and N-M reverts to the "Automatic (DHCP)" method.
Looking through my syslog, I see a line like this during each boot:
Aug 19 21:00:26 tylke nm-system-settings: Can not read directory '/etc/NetworkMa
The directory doesn't in fact exist, even though I've just reconfigured my manual settings once more:
tawmas@tylke:~$ ls -l /etc/NetworkMan
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2008-08-19 10:33 dispatcher.d
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23 2008-08-07 12:50 nm-system-
I cannot seem to find any errors about failures to create or write to the named directory, not in syslog at least.
Please note that LP bug #176325 could be the same issue reported here, or perhaps another issue that I had with the previous version and that is now cleared (manual DNS settings would not stick even for the current session, and resolv.conf was left empty).
I faced the same issue after upgrading to 8.10 a4,i created the dir,but still i can not configure dns settings manualy.
The resolv.conf file is still empty
