I updated my 11.1 last night, and it died as far as connectivity is concerned. Didn't even finish the update. During the install of glibc, something went awry and I could no longer connect. I remember reading something recently about this. Is there a big problem with the update? dig works, host works, nothing else works, i.e. Yast, zypper, browser, Kopete, ping, traceroute, etc. To get it working I needed to downgrade glibc to the versions on the DVD. It got 5 of the 7 packages updated before it died in mid stream. Is there a fix, or something else needed? TIA for any help. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Joe, This is the thread with all the stuff https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441947 If the problem is related to glibc just install this one from Petr http://www.suse.de/~pbaudis/bug-441947-2/ If the problem is with nscd you may have to replace this one too but try the glibc from Petr it works very well. In comment #25 Petr makes a summary of the problem and solution. Changing the resolv.conf manually will do the work but it will produce a static change and therefore the network manager. -=terry=- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I also follow this bug. But the patch is not work for me. My case is like https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=463015#c4 But now I use KDE 4.2 and kbluetooth4. If I use the connection through bluetooth to my cellphone to the 3G provider, it cannot write the resolver to /etc/resolv.conf. Worse because now it is not work even if I use traditional method. regards, medwinz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What do you have in /etc/sysconfig/network/config for NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER? Is it bind or resolver? That variable is supposed to be what controls netconfig to rewrite /etc/resolv.conf. If it is set to resolver, and NETWORKMANAGER="yes", it is supposed to write the DNS settings from Network Manager to resolv.conf. That is where I would suggest checking. More info via man netconfig.

Joe, thanks for your reply. my /etc/sysconfig/network/config NETCONFIG_DNS_FORWARDER = "resolver" NETWORKMANAGER="yes" and yes, there is no problem in networkmanager. I can connect to different accesspoint and it writes the dns to resolv.conf. Also OK if I use ethernet card to the network, no problem. If I change it to 3G network using cellphone resolv.conf is empty. regards, medwinz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I see. I think I saw that in a bug report. You need some pppd plugin for Network Manager. I am not sure where to get it though. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The interesting question is what exactly broke and why. I'm not aware of a problem so far but suggest you try again and if it fails, open a bugreport in our bugzilla with some extra information like the lines in /var/log/zypp/history regarding this update, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126
