yesterday evening I installed Linux Mint 13 Mate in a dual-boot option with Windows XP. Everything was fine (after I convinced the boot-manager to also recognize linux....). Then I installed all recommended updates and switched from DHCP to a static IP address (Menu -> Control Center -> Network).
Then I switched to PC off and today I switched in on again and during the boot of Linux the following messages appeared:
"configuring networking" and
"60 seconds more to configure networking"
After that linux started without any network connection. I typed
Code: Select all
sudo service NetworkManager start
Then I did this
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg-reconfigure network-manager
Then I reinstalled the network-manager by typing
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get --reinstall install network-manager
This is the output of the command
Code: Select all
sudo inxi -SNx
