To reproduce. 1) First do an install of openSUSE 12.3 RC1 x86_64. 2) Accept the defaults (I also opened the ssh port). 3) Run zypper update to get all the latest updates. At this point my experience is that you have a functioning network and all is well. The problem begins when you want to change or add something. For example. 1. 'rcnetwork stop' does nothing. It states that it is redirecting to "systemctl stop network.service" (NetworkManager.service) but this actually does nothing. So neither the if<commands> or the systemctl commands for networking seem to do work. 2. Running 'yast2 lan' by default shows 'Traditional Method with ifup' on the Network Setup Method which seems untrue. If for example you create a bridge in yast, it is not reflected in the system. Neither 'ifconfig' nor 'brctl show' will show it. Yet it will remain defined in yast. 3. When I run 'Configure Desktop' -> 'Network Settings', it doesn't show the default interface created during installation (in my case, eth0). I'm not familiar with how this should work - just guessing that eth0 should show up as a wired connection. In summary, a working network is created at install time but none of the tools seem to be able to manage it or inter-operate. This becomes a critical problem for virtualization which requires us to be able to create a bridge before installing any guest. When running the yast2-vm tool to install Xen or KVM it asks to install a bridge and seems to work - and yet doesn't (it is just calling into the yast networking code to do this). -- 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.
