Hi all
For reasons of speed, I've not had chance to google this thoroughly so I do
apologise if this is a well known bug - well 2 bugs actually...
I'm running Ubuntu natty inside Virtualbox (host is Windows 7 fwiw). 2
problems:
1) For some reason, the top bar (whatever it's called - the one with
Accessories Places System etc) changes from the usual brownish background to
greyish before my very eyes - and I promise I have not setup a different
theme!
2) Far more serious - I'm making changes to the network configuration (I
want a static ip address and its default is dhcp) using network connections
on the system menu and either
2a) It's disregarding the changes I make i.e. I change the ip
address, then I
do a ifconfig or cat /etc/resolv.conf and see no
changes!
2b) I give it perfectly acceptable ip address, subnet mask,
gateway and
it still can't find the network.
It's probably something obvious - so as I say - apologies if so - but if
anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be grateful.
Cheers
Rob
