Ubuntu – Network Manager 0.8.999 and Ubuntu One

Here is an Upstart script you can place to /etc/init/reconnect.conf:

start on started network-manager
stop on runlevel [016]

script
  while true; do
    if ifconfig eth0 | grep -q "inet addr:"; then
       # echo "all ok!"
    else
       restart network-manager
    fi
    sleep 5
  done
end script

Upon losing an ip address for eth0 (configure to your interface if its different), it will restart network-manager job and restore connectivity.

A .deb package is available from http://packages.debian.org to solve the jibgnome-bluetooth7 dependency:

• http://packages.debian.org/sid/armel/libgnome-bluetooth-dev/download
• Download and transfer it to the computer via USB, or SD.
• Double click on it to open, or use the terminal to install ( sudo dpkg -i libgnome-bluetooth-dev*.deb )
• The version is 3.8.1-2 which will satisfy the required >=2.27.8.

Once the dependency is installed you can then install network-manager from http://packages.ubuntu.com

• http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/network-manager-gnome
• Download and transfer it to the computer via USB, or SD.
• double click on it to open, or use the terminal to install ( sudo dpkg -i network-manager-gnome*.deb )
• A reboot or relog is required after install to activate the software correctly.

Would you be able to state why the network-manager is absent from your computer?
