Ubuntu 12.04 upgrade destroys network
I upgraded my Ubuntu with LXDE to 12.04, and I no longer had any network connection. What should I look at in order to try to diagnose this Ubuntu upgrade bug?
|
Next place I'd look is to see if NetworkManager is running
Code:
ps aux | grep NetworkManager Code:
sudo service network-manager start |
Thanks, RD.
NetworkManager was in fact not running. When I started it, a window popped up saying: Code:
Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced an internal error When I reboot, the system takes forever. I see a message saying "waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration.". Then it says "booting without full network configuration" When it comes up, no NetworkManager. When I start it, I get the same "internal error" message. |
After rebooting the system, I found this is the syslog
Code:
Jul 1 22:11:10 ubuntu-desktop kernel: [ 51.868966] type=1400 audit(1341198662.832:2): apparmor="STATUS" operation="profile_load" name="/sbin/dhclient" pid=521 comm="apparmor_parser" |

Now that I have my NetworkManager working, should I file a Ubuntu bug on it failing to start on boot? Which package is it? |
It's notification daemon problem also it's in your post #3

I dont think thats a bug though. His network manager quit working because apt shut it down to upgrade it. Then Ubuntu was using the fallback configuration of /etc/network/interfaces to look for a network but nothing was there so he got that error. Once Network Manager daemon started back, it takes precedence over the fallback /etc config is all.

Hi. Actually. Upon looking things over, what you are experiencing has nothing to do with Networking. Apparently it has to do with themes. Like the colors, shades, window borders,etc. From what I can tell Ubuntu switched from gtk2 to gtk3 for version 12.04s. Gtk just stands for Gimp Toolkit I think. It was used in designing the window looks and feel in GNOME and Metacity- Gnomes Window Manager. So my guess is somewhere in your settings in from your old Ubuntu is clashing with the new Ubuntu settings. You said you have LXDE on top of Ubuntu? Or do you have the distibution Lubuntu? I think a theme from LXDE is gtk2 based and Ubuntu 12.04 with all gtk3 doesnt like it. Does any of this sound familiar?
