I observed this behavior on both Linux Mint 15 and 16 Cinnamon on the same machine. When I use serviceto stop networkingfor example
sudo service networking stop or restart
it, as a graphical interface, becomes more "basic". I'm new to Linux, so forgive my ignorance, but it looks like another window manager on top is more barebones, and for some reason this process stops when I stop working on the network.
I can restart or stop network-managerwithout any changes in the GUI, and this will cause my network to reset or stop. Why can't I mess with networking?
