Please install the latest NetworkManager from updates. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 585433 *** This fix is in the Novell Plan9 Virtual Appliance build 137. Source repository: lego revision: 2305. |
Package: NetworkManager Version: 0.8-8.1.1.x86_64 Apparently due to battery loss while suspend the state file in /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state contained NetworkingEnabled=false which caused the network to remain in a disabled state. State does not change over reboot, and also isn't changeable from recent GUI-tools such as KDE's network-manager applet (which just showed "networking disabled") or gnome network manager applet. To remedy the problem you can: - remove the stale file: /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state - or edit the file and set NetworkingEnabled=true The usual desktop user will be lost. GUI is not providing any hints. Personally I would like to see an "enable network" option in the GUI but also cleaning up the state after reboot would be fine. Switching to "if*" tools and back to NetworkManager does not help, hence "major" as regular user is facing major loss of functionality.
