static network settings not applied

Bug Description

I installed hardy alpha 1 on a empty partition,
and my network environment doesn't have a dhcp server.

I did set IPv4 IP, netmask, gateway and DNS manually in
the network settings GUI. However, after closing the
configuration application, the eth0 interface is not
setup with these settings.

I had to use ifconfig to setup IP and netmask on the
command line to get network working.

(I also added default gateway with route, however I
don't know if this was necessary or not)

Appears everyone is having these troubles in hardy at least since alpha 1.

I have the same problem - running Hardy Alpha.

First a problem with network-admin not starting - now starting up but settings not kept. When I try to connect to my wireless network it keeps asking for the network key - when I checked the keyring it tells me the keyring daemon is not running. May this be related to Policykit?

I can confirm this on Alpha 6 live CD.

In this case the only thing that is saved is the DNS addresses. I have then to set manually from console my IP and the gateway.

Seems to be solved in Hardy Beta live CD.

Saw this behavior in the released Hardy Heron on i386 hardware on monday.

Solution after setting static ip info was to manually run:

/etc/init.d/networking restart

as root. Verified new address with:

ifconfig -a

Annoying, but will only need to do it once ever until reinstall

Marcus,
This looks like a duplicate of bug 185854 which has already been fixed, is this still a problem for you?

Static IPs are not managed by network-manager but network-admin, which is a part of gnome-system-tools. I reproduced this bug 2 hours ago and opened a bug in launchpad and bugzilla for gnome-system-tools. Therefore, I set this bug report as a duplicate of bug 246161 . Thanks for your contribution to ubuntu.
