https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=354124 Summary: NM-0.7 does not honor IP address settings Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: seife@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Development I yesterday updated my machine to STABLE, featuring NM 0.7 I have configured a static IP address, managed by SCPM: seife@susi:~> cat /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-cable BOOTPROTO='static' BROADCAST='' ETHTOOL_OPTIONS='' IFPLUGD_PRIORITY='20' IPADDR='10.10.129.125/16' MTU='' NAME='IBM PRO/1000 MT Mobile Connection' NETWORK='' REMOTE_IPADDR='' STARTMODE='ifplugd' USERCONTROL='no' I do, however, only get a dynamic address: seife@susi:~> ip addr show dev cable 4: cable: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 100 link/ether 00:11:25:b2:d9:f4 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.10.100.8/16 brd 10.10.255.255 scope global cable inet6 2001:780:101:a00:211:25ff:feb2:d9f4/64 scope global dynamic valid_lft 30001sec preferred_lft 9999sec inet6 fe80::211:25ff:feb2:d9f4/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Furthermore, when booting the machine, it does not get an IP at all, leading to ypbind and autofs failures during boot. It only seems to get an IP address once knetworkmanager is started. -- 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.

For this to work, I need to port the system-settings daemon to suse, it currently only supports redhat. But unfortunately, I have no time to hack on 0.7 until SP2 is shipped. -- 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.

Can you point me to the source of this "system-settings daemon"? I have not found it inside the NetworkManager-0.7.0 tarball, but i might be looking at the wrong place. I will definitely not wait 4 months until i can use my machine again ;-) -- 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.

The directory is called 'system-settings'. I have non-finished, but compiling port done, I can send it your way if you're interested. Alternatively, you could use NetworkManager-gnome and it's connection editor to specify your IP address. Or implement connection editor for knm. -- 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.

And at home, i don't run a dhcp server at all ;-) with nm-applet, i also was unable to add a static ip address connection (ip's would not get applied), but i will retry this with a fresh installation and a new user to make sure that it's not some old setting in my home that breaks things (and once i know where the problem is, i will file a proper bugreport, of course). If you'd send me the source that would be great. I can't promise anything, but if my pain is big enough, i'll take a stab at fixing it up ;-) -- 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.

NetworkManager can now work without any applets using configuration provided by yast (/etc/sysconfig/network/*). -- 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.
