[Bug 1206611] New: Tumbleweed Net installer fails dhcp bc choosing wrong network interface?
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1206611 Bug ID: 1206611 Summary: Tumbleweed Net installer fails dhcp bc choosing wrong network interface? Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Network Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: jlopez777+opensuse@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Created attachment 863626 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=863626&action=edit shot of network device not running Expected behavior DHCP in net install connects to repo Actual behavior - fails ============ Details: Seems as though I can't turn on my network device. It reads "not running" (see attached). When I go to shell, no text editor installed, so can't change any configs. THEORY: Because it is not running (maybe driver not loaded?) it can't do DHCP and gives failure. If you see in attachment, lo is up.... How can I tell the network installer to use lo ? Maybe not a bug, but potential enhancement opportunity to 1. Use a solution that auto-scans wifi instead of manually putting in info. 2. include text editor if not already there and I'm missing it 3. Provide user option which network interface to use, so if wlp1s0 doesn't work, they can go and try another available interface. Wasn't sure of major or critical - bc if users can't connect to repo to install, network installer is "broken"..if this is actually the issue, it essentially keeps user from goal of net install, hence landing on critical. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hi Joed,
OK, I see. You do not have an editor because the installation media is not fully loaded (because of the failing network configuration). You are still in Linuxrc, which is responsible for initializing and loading the installation image.
How are you trying to set up the network? Which arguments are you passing when booting? In theory, you should not need an editor to set the configuration values (you can specify them when booting). Additionally, you have the "ip" and "wicked" commands to inspect the current status of the network.
Regards, Imo
What makes this odd is that I have to is ip command to get the network device to "turn on". Then I get an RFKILL error. I hit the "airplane mode" button on my laptop and then do the ip command to initialize the device, and it goes through. Not sure if the pressing of the button is actually the thing that works, or if it is just some time has to pass for the network device to initialize for it to work. THEN i can connect to tumbleweed repos.....but then I am told, I need to download a new boot image before moving forward....I do so, and NOW, the device that I got to turn on is working, and only lo network device is showing, but not activating or connecting....so now, i dont get a dhcp failure, I get "no network device or module loaded". I cant recall which one, but either way, unable to connect. I gave up and ended up installing via graphical installer w a bigger usb , but I was intrigued by this issue, and wanted to learn/find the underlying issue, in the event someone else had same issues. NEXT STEPS: I can maybe try again with an updated network installer? Is it possible to include vim in the network installer for such a time where going in and changing config files could actually help? Another might be include nmtui with the network installer so some of the network config can be done in a cleaner manner? I know the above isnt directly related w the issue, but these are some of my "findings" on the road in trying to solve this....is that out of the question to consider? Just wondering....thanks for your responses. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
