Hi
I am running Trinity, having installed it from the latest CD live, using
Ubuntu 14.04. On monday I set my wired net with the tdenetworkmanager only.
Everything worked fine, the connection was set manually, the connected
icon for wired showed up.
Then yesterday, I connected to a wirless net, using tdenetworkmanager,
again everything fine.
Today I deactivated the wireless card and tried to connect again to
the wired net. It did not work.
I found out that the resolv.conf file, which is a link from
/run/resolv/resolv.conf --> /etc/resolv.conf was empty. So I manually
set a new connection, but the resolv.conf file was not changed, I
replaced the resolv.conf file by the correct file and then the
connection worked, however the icon, still shows wired connection *not*
connected. This is annoying.
Does anybody using the same distribution have this problem and knows a
solution?
Thanks

Hello,
I'm using Debian, so it could be different for you.
But you have to comment your eth0 lines on your file /etc/network/interfaces.
And you have to change the bolean of ifup line on the file
/etc/Networkmanager/Networkmanager.conf
Try to do it an reboot ?
Bye ;)

Hm thanks.
I renamed that file to interface-org, maybe this is not sufficient.
Are you saying I should comment out *all* lines concerning eth0? Even
auto eth0?
I have right now in the file interface-org
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 127.0.0.1
netmask 255.0.0.0
iface eth0 inet static
address XXX.XX.XX.XX
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway XXX.XX.XX.XX
auto eth0
Where I put in this mail dummy values for the relevant entries.
And you have to change the bolean of ifup line on the
file
/etc/Networkmanager/Networkmanager.conf

There is no [ifup] line only a [ifupdown] line
So should I change
[ifupdown]
managed=false
To
[ifupdown]
managed=true
And just in case
[ifup]
managed=true

I'll send you my files when i'll be back at home.
I'm on my win7 job computer now =)
But basically, you have to let NM , ond only NM manage your wired connection.

Then,
This is my two files :
nano /etc/network/interfaces
===================================================
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# The primary network interface
# allow-hotplug eth0
# iface eth0 inet dhcp
===================================================
Comment all lines about all of your interfaces you will use with NM.
nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
===================================================
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
[ifupdown]
managed=true
===================================================
And set ifupdown to true to all NM to managed all interfaces.
Now your can create a new wired connection in NM with all the
parameters you want.
Bye.

Ok, thanks very much, now it works as excepted! I switched several times
between wireless and the wired net and the icon and the connection works
now.
Last question: not to you necessarily but to the list:
When I set up the wired connection via tdenetworkmanager
how can a specify more than 1 DNS server? a Comma separated list did not
work, a simple space as separator neither. I checked the file /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
But in my environment sometimes one of the DNS server fails. So it is
prudent to specify more than only one.

Uwe Brauer,
The resolvconf will have a problem ... it'll be system wide.
You won't be able to have different DNS for different connection, for exemple
at home and at work.
In your cas you should set in your connection setting in NM.
But the TDE-NM is not the most complete, there is only one field to set DNS
servers. Also, you can try to use the ncurses NM tool "nmtui" where you will
be able to get two DNS field. I never had to use it in my case but it should
be OK for you.
Bye.

In my resolv.conf I use multiple lines.
viz:
nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 4.5.6.7
nameserver 8.9.10.11
... etc/usw.
