hello friends. i'm using ubuntu...and xfce desktop environment. I'm not able to open the network manager to add the Ip address. and i dont know how to do this via terminal. so please help me how i can open network manager to change my static IP and gateway and other info...
I don't know if network manager is really trustworthy. The status display is misleading. Recently I changed my setup from dhcp to static (by editing /etc/network/interfaces) and now the network manager status shows "No network connection" (tooltip). This is the status while I have proper network connectivity (I am writing this email!).
This is more to do with network manager being a different set of tools .. moment you dip into configuring network yourself network manager goes for a hike.
I would have to agree that network manager is not as complete / resilient to changes. I've faced network drops more often with network manager than wpasupplicant.
