[xubuntu-users] The Network Manager applet has vanished from the top panel in Ubuntu 8.10

[D. Hoogland]

Hello Alok,

After the command ''sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart'' and after 
supplying the password, Ubuntu replied:

* Reconfiguring network interfaces...                                   
[ OK ]

Then I typed ''ifup eth0'', and the system answered:

ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied

The same with ''ifup eth1'':

ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied


How to proceed from here?

Thanks in advance, regards, Daniel
