https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=372733 Summary: No Internet out of the box: KNetworkManager/nm-applet not running Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Alpha 3 Platform: i386 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Live Medium AssignedTo: nc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: probono@myrealbox.com QAContact: coolo@novell.com Depends on: 372729 Found By: Beta-Customer On a freshly booted live CD medium, there is no Internet connection out of the box. Under KDE, KNetworkManager is missing and under GNOME, nm-applet is missing from the taskbar. Almost all other Live CDs have something like these running by default, so that the user can easily connect e.g., to a wireless network, by just browsing through the list of available WLANs with one of these applets. On openSUSE 11.0 Alpha3, by contrast, I have to go into some YAST module and check a somewhat obscure checkbox hidden in a tab in order to "Enable Device Control for Non-root User Via Kinternet". I don't know whether this is the official way, but after doing so, KNetworkManager (on KDE) or nm-applet (on GNOME) magically appears in my taskbar. It should be there by default right from the beginning, like on any other Live CD. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have this issue on *all* computers. It can be fixed by manually running: sudo /etc/init.d/network restart (Running this without sudo returns permission errors - maybe this is related to the problem? The user on a Live CD *should* have enough permissions to join a LAN/WLAN, shouldn't he?) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Also, the icons (knetworkmanager) in the task bar (both wireless and wired) don't do anything with a left click. A hover of the cursor over the icons results in a 'inactive' pop up. A right click doesn't give any useful options. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I right clicked on the wired internet icon in the system tray and chose new connection, even though eth0 was already listed. I entered eth0 and whatever else was needed (can't remember the details) and then I saw the spinning gear with the status bar and it connected. Now when I right click the icon it shows eth0 (Manual IP config) with an x in the box on the left. I still have to choose this entry whenever I reboot or restart the network. By the way, I'm using a regular install, not the live cd. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

At least on my machines, it appears that /etc/init.d/network fails to launch during the boot process. Thus, when I manually run sudo /etc/init.d/network restart then it starts working. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

(hal-0.5.10_git20080319-14.1.i586.rpm) Are you doing something after sudo /etc/init.d/network restart to make it work? When I do this, the network restarts but ifconfig shows no ip address for eth0. The only way I've able to connect to the internet is to use the steps I outlined above. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
