Yesterday I decided to upgrade my notebkk PC to 8.04 LTS from 7.10. I
used the "over the internet" upgrade method. The upgrade hung at
"Setting up locales " and about 76% complete. I had to shutdown to get
past that error and then my notebook was nearly non-functional. I was
able the system to reboot again using some of the work-arounds mentioned
here
"https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/249340",
but I still have a couple of issues...
First, when I boot to Kde desktop I have no network connection. My wired
and wireless interfaces are up and have dhcp assigned addresses and all
network settings look correct, but I can't access any internet sites and
I can't ping any local network addresses. If I boot to recovery mode and
then start KDM, everything works just fine. If I boot to Kdesktop, start
a terminal session and then stop and restart /etc/init.d/networking
everything is OK.
Second, SNMPD is not fully installed and I can't seem to fix it or
configure it. When I run sudo apt-get install snmpd I get these messages...
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
snmpd is already the newest version.

Errors were encountered while processing:

So far, everything else seems to be working, but I would really like to
have network connectivity when I boot my PC and I need snmpd in my
office. Can anyone offer any help solving these issues?
Thanks,
Rick

Upgrade problems 7.10 > 8.04 LTS
I originally posted this on the Kubuntu Users list, but had no response
so I'm reposting here.

used the "over the internet" upgrade method. The upgrade hung at

Try modifying:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
to
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 rick-laptop
and restart networking - see if you can ping localhost then.

NoOp,
I can ping localhost and 127.0.0.1 with or without the change you
suggested. Also, that change seems to have no effect on my network
problem. When I boot into to a command prompt, networking works
correctly. When I boot to KDE I have no networking. My interfaces have
been assigned dhcp addresses, but I cannot ping anything outside my PC
and I have no internet. If I stop networking and then restart networking
everything is OK.
Thanks again,
Rick

Just an update.
My wireless does work, but only when I start it manually with this
command...
Prior to the upgrade to 8.04, my wireless started automatically.
Thanks again,

Ah... sorry, I took "I can't ping any local network addresses." to mean
that you couldn't ping localhost.

I only have kde4.1 installed for testing purposes, but what this sounds
like is exactly what happens when I have network roaming selected on my
laptop with no wireless connection. I put it in that mode to test the
vpn settings.
With "Enable roaming mode" selected, after I boot up I have to
right-click the nm icon and tell it to connect using a wired connection.
Once I do that it goes out and gets a dhcp address from my router.
Note: I have the system configured for a wireless PCMCIA but the card is
not in the machine so it doesn't automatically find a wireless network
on boot. I've got another test machine with just kde on it, I'll fire
that up later today and check with a wireless device on it.

I wonder if the /etc/network/interfaces file is getting messed up. Can
you post:
cat /etc/network/interfaces

NoOp,
I removed Knemo and installed network-manager-kde and knetwork-manager.
Now my networking is working at startup in Kdesktop and in terminal
mode. Wireless still needs to be started manually with wpa_supplicant
and dhclient. Any way to automate this in 8.04
BTW I installed 8.04 with KDE3, not KDE4.
Thanks,
Rick
