Bug Description

The network (including internet) is not accessible after a full boot with automatic login. Ubuntu Lucid (x.x.21) was installed from USB stick / live CD.
I have the same behaviour when booting Ubuntu Lucid Live CD. Ubuntu Karmic on the same machine does not have this problem (i have a dual boot system now). When I boot into recovery mode as root I have network as I was able to run 'apt-get update' and file a bug with 'apport-cli -f -p linux' although I don't know if the required information is in the report. The remainder of this report was filled from an other machine.
DHCP gives a valid IP to the machine at boot.
Other problems occur with USB mouse not responding or Live CD not booting at all, I can not say this is related as it occurs irregularly.

What you see is that i added an extra network adapter (eth1) to see if it was a hardware problem. The same happens on both adapters and both adapters work fine with Ubuntu Karmic.

Hi Wilbert,

If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Tried with linux-image-2.6.34-999-generic_2.6.34-999.201005081426_i386.deb It boots but keyboard and mouse are not working. Maybe the network is working because the update manager pops up.

The Live CD is not working, also when installing, it takes too long (waiting for network response?) synchronizing the clock takes too long. Sometimes keyboard and mouse don't work.

After upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 I have the same problems as with a clean install or as with booting the LIVE cd. Starting in recovery to shell with networking I seem to have a network. Can someone say what can disturb this connection when I boot fully? They are a lot of time-outs in the log, anyone can help me with those?

Starting in recovery and then login it says:
"This CPU is family 15, model 3, and has NX capabilities but is unable to use these protective features because the BIOS is configured to disable the capability." While it is well known that this model (Socket 478, with most recent BIOS) has no NX capabilities (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celeron#Prescott-256)

It is very difficult to get any information without a network and I can imagine there are more people out there struggling and not able to report this.

This is (of-the-shelf) a true catastrophe.

Wilbert Volkers, thank you for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag.
