https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=404399 Summary: YaST Network Devices/Settings/Hostname removes primary interface (easily reproduceable) Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: davidb@vuetec.com QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Field Engineer The steps to reproduce this issue are as follows: Load yast, go into Network Devices -> Network Settings -> Hostname/DNS. You don't have to change any options here, just select Finish. You'll now notice that if you run ifconfig, your primary network interface is missing. In the case on my 3 test installations (including one remote server) this means that eth0 is deactivated and removed. If you go back into Network Settings, and not do anything. You'll notice that the network interface will appear again. I have labelled this bug as Major, because in the case of the remote server, I was no longer able to access it and it required physical intervention (a server reboot) to regain access to it. On the 11.0 machine that I have Xen installed on, restarting networking by /etc/init.d/network restart (or force-reload) did not resolve the issue, however on a 11.0 installation I have within Virtualbox, it did. In all cases, rebooting resumed networking ability. -- 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.
