I recreated a virgin 12.3 VMware machine. I have the VM in my appliance configured to start with the network down. That's why I automatically run "ifconfig eth0 up; dhclient eth0" This time immediately after first boot / login, I ran "ifconfig" and it only shows "lo". Because I know the interface is named eth0 in 12.3 I can run "ifconfig eth0 up; dhclient eth0" and it works. I now realize I need to run "ifconfig -a" as my first command to get the name of the down interfaces. In 13.1 my interface is named enp0s17. And I can run "ifconfig enp0s17 up; dhclient enp017" and all is well. So the "bug" is that I assumed "ifconfig" would show me all interfaces, even ones that were down. Instead I needed to be running "ifconfig -a". === Thanks for asking enough questions that I figured it out. -- 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.
