The preceding BUG issues STILL exist AND are made worse in 11.2. Establishing a static IP via Network Manager during Installation is perilous. The following further faults are now evident during a Non-Automated Installation, which Must be used to establish a Static IP. You do not have to delay/stall fixing this module another 8 months by repetitively asking for installation Logs; they will not help nor will be provided with 100% reproducible faults and the magnitude of errors now present, as they are ALL STILL 100% reproducible. 1.Commence a non automated KDE Installation. 2.At the installation phase of that configures an IP use the following. 3.Elect to use a static IP and configure the same and include 2 x DNS IP server addresses and a gateway IP address and complete. 4.Now change to Network Manager. 5.You are now forced again to re-establish the static IP details, as choosing Network Manager after you have configured them will obliterate the values back to DHCP. 6.Go back and re-apply the static IP values that were inserted before you changed to Network Manager 7.Complete and move to the 'test' Internet connection phase of Installation It will indicate FAILURE, but will provide NO log file details as to why – they are empty on Viewing. 8.Ignore the FAILURE result and proceed to configure update repository and perform and online update with TOTAL success on connecting to the Internet. 9.Note now, that a static IP HAS been configured under YAST with Network Manager during Installation, however, now it is impossible to use YAST to change any values 10. It is NOW impossible to use kde's Network Manager Interface as the IP was created under Network Manager during YAST Installation. 11.It is also NOW impossible to add another Network interface via Network Manager, in fact by the KDE Network Manager show ANY NM interface exists! 12.It is now impossible to change to a static IP under IFUP! 13.In fact I am not sure, which Vehicle IS providing a valid static IP connection! If I - had put this Module up Online as a senior staff – I would have lost my job in 24 hours of this Bug reaching QA and I think your non-action/increased errors make yours tenuous. For the Critics – Now I am not being 'Passive Aggressive' – I am down right aggressive! My last Bug insertion as I have NO confidence in this ever being fixed please do NOT downgrade below CRITICAL! -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
