Hi,
I have an Kubuntu 9.04 VMWare guest image that I upgraded to 9.10 using the normal upgrade process. Things initially worked well. I went to use the vm today, and I now have no network connectivity. This guest VM is running under 64-bit Windows 7 RC.
Because of no networking and a no copy/paste, I can't post the actual command output without re-typing. Here's what I have under ifconfig:
eth0 with an IPv6 address
eth0:avahi with a 169.254.5.34 address
lo
If I run 'sudo dhclient eth0', it eventually times out with "No DHCPOFFERS received". I've tried to stop avahi-daemon, but that doesn't solve anything.
I was hoping to just install vmware tools, and see if that fixes this, but I don't have the right kernel sources installed to compile the tools.
Through my searches, it appears in the past there's been issues with the eth0:avahi entry appearing in ifconfig output, but I haven't found a good solution to get my network access.
Again, while this was an kubuntu 9.04 guest vm, everything ran perfectly. And the initial upgrade was successful, it just stopped working at some point.
Any clues or thoughts?
