[Bug 850530] New: 13.1/x64,post-rc2 (via dup): dsl-setup (yast) impossible. ifcfg-dsl0 file never gets created by yast, inside yast never becomes an entry in dsl devices etc (pppoe)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850530 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=850530#c0 Summary: 13.1/x64,post-rc2 (via dup): dsl-setup (yast) impossible. ifcfg-dsl0 file never gets created by yast, inside yast never becomes an entry in dsl devices etc (pppoe) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 13.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 13.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: abittner@abittner.de QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/31.0.1650.48 Safari/537.36 I am quite sure about reporting this bug, as it cost me half a day today, and I only figured out that my 13.1/x64 setup was hopeless, only on-site location when I wanted to deploy the machine that was supposed to do a simple dsl0-dialup via ethernet connected to an xdsl modem with a simple ethernet port. Clean install via 13.1/x64 RC2 iso from an usb-key, then zypper dup to latest packages (100+ packages got updated) then moved the machine to the target location and wanted to setup the dsl (pppoe) there, only like trying for an hour or two, all the ethernet devices that this machine had available only to find out that somehow yast dsl configuruation gui was somehow not adding any entry to the dsl-devices page, only the providers-page got filled (custom provider entry there). the sysconfig/network/providers/providerfile got created just fine but there was never a new sysconf/network/ifcfg-dsl0 or similar file ever nor was the yast dsl-devices window listing any entry there even after endlessly going through the same steps that like worked for many opensuse and suse distributions in the past. :( this is a huge showstopper for me and just taught me once again to actually not go for the latest opensuse distributions this tightly :( things that come to my mind: maybe its even some modules trouble that it does not talk pppoe any more, this used to be a module for the kernel in the past, right? i am not sure any more, i havent looked for the technical details a long time ago (roaringpenguin and such stuff comes to my mind, maybe thats even more historic though...) btw, I just compared the still-current opensuse 12.3 (x86 though) that is also doing dsl-dialup via dsl0 etc... with the command: # lsmod | grep -i ppp pppoe 17512 2 pppox 13159 1 pppoe ppp_generic 32184 6 pppoe,pppox slhc 13258 1 ppp_generic and this 13.1/x64 machine has no ppp hits for modules at all i think. will check the machine later. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- 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.

There is the Yast gui for all of this still as in previous versions and there is still functionality and scripts and I see lot of things being executed in the logs and all of that, and this bugreport is now 2+ months old and this information is only now being revealed?

The note was written regarding Factory version. So, to be precise it was dropped for 13.2. The code is available for community in https://github.com/yast/yast-dialup. However the issue is installer related, so there is nothing I can help you with since yast2-dialup won't be present in 13.2 installation workflow. There won't be new release for 13.1 as well. -- 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.

However, there are some with higher priority, some feature requests and so on. Moreover this issue depends on particular installation workflow if I understand it correctly. The flow is definitely going to be changed drastically for 13.2. The yast2-dialup (new package with DSL gui) won't be present as it is not maintained by SUSE anymore. Thank you for your involvement and reporting bugs, however our (SUSE) resources are limited and DSL configuration is not so "hot" topic at this time. -- 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.
