[Bug 668142] New: installation: manual network configuration is written only to ifup, not to networkmanager configuration
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668142 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=668142#c0 Summary: installation: manual network configuration is written only to ifup, not to networkmanager configuration Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Factory Platform: Other OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: hendrikw@arcor.de QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0b10) Gecko/20110121 Firefox/4.0b10 When I install OpenSUSE (atm 11.4 milestone 6) to a notebook with LAN and WLAN and enter a static IP-address for LAN (eth0) during installation, this configuration information is written only to the ifup-configuration, but not to the networkmanager-configuration; even though networkmanager is chosen as the default network management software. I see this behaviour on OpenSUSE 11.4, but it may be not limited to this version. When networkmanager is the default then all configuration information entered during installation should be written to the networkmanager configuration (too). (/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections) The wired LAN connection is/becomes the system default because WLAN is deactivated at installation time. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install OpenSUSE on a system with wired and wireless LAN 2. keep networkmanager as the default to control the network connections 3. enter manually a static IP-address during installation for LAN Actual Results: The LAN connection is activated by networkmanager with DHCP. Expected Results: The LAN connection should use the static IP-address entered during installation. -- 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.

In the grafical installer at this screen: http://en.opensuse.org/index.php?title=File:OSS113-DVD3.png&filetimestamp=20... I uncheck the checkbox "Use Automatic Configuration". Some time later I see a screen (sorry, I found only an old screenshot from OS 10.1: http://queens.db.toronto.edu/~nilesh/linux/suse-10.1-install/?id=30) where I can change the network settings. There I enter the static IP-adress etc. regards Hendrik -- 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.

I have a laptop which I just upgraded to openSUSE 11.4 (retail version0 from 11.3. I cannot change the MTU for eth0 (which is wired connected to a 10/100 Mb switch -- have not tried the WLAN device yet) through the NM Manage Connections dialog. The value I enter is written somewhere because it persists in the NM Manage Connections dialog. But it is not written to "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Auto eth0", and it has no effect on the actual device's MTU. Manually adding "mtu=1492" to the [802-3-ethernet] section in "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Auto eth0" does work. Some thoughts: are the device action policies correctly set (I have not changed them); is somehow KWallet (where my WLAN credentials are stored) interfering with the system authentication required to modify "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Auto eth0" (I am never prompted for the root password). Anyway,... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install OpenSUSE 11.4 on a system with wired and wireless LAN 2. keep networkmanager as the default to control the network connections 3. use NM manage Connections to change the MYU from Automatic to 1492 4. Disable and reenable networking (using NM) to force a reconfiguration of eth0 5. From a terminal, run /sbin/ifconfig eth0 and note the MTU setting Actual Results: The MTU is still 1500. Expected Results: The MTU to be 1492 -- 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.

It appears that the problem no longer exists for me in the released version of openSUSE 12.1 i586. My laptop was upgraded to 12.1, released version. Using both nm-connection-editor run from a terminal window and the KDE4 Network Management widget (both of which seem to be front ends into the Network Manager connection management dialog), I could change between 1500 and 1492 MTUs, and the change would stick after a restart of networking (# rcnetwork restart). As a side note, interestingly, when I set the MTU to "Automatic" (which is the current setting on this laptop), the MTU did not change from 1492 to 1500 after only restarting networking. However, it did change to 1500 after a reboot. Let me know if you'd like more information. -- 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.
