That system is currently configured to use "ifup" but is actually still using "NetworkManager". The people who are building the iso file for the distribution are evidently able to switch between "ifup" and "NetworkManager". But Yast is not making the appropriate change. It is leaving us stuck with what we got from the iso. -- 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 installed 12.3 RC2 from the DVD image on a USB stick. I chose the XFCE desktop installation. Yast during installation asked for the details of my network (wifi), but the test failed, and the details box was empty. The configuration was that of ifup mode. When I finally booted the system, I could not login as user (xfce). This has an update that corrects it, but I had no network to install it. Had to login as root. YaST network module said that the configuration was handled by network manager, but there was no applet in sight. I switched to ifup mode, and all the data I had entered during config was there. I accepted, then YaST said that it had to install smpppd, and failed because there was no network - of course. This smpppd package should have been installed earlier from the DVD, if it is necesary. It is absurd that to configure network you have to install a package that requires network. Checking, I did have network running, but there was no default route set, so no access to Internet. No matter if I clicked to obtain route from dhcp or manually in YaST, it was ignored. However, a manual restart of "rcnetwork" succeeded and I got Internet. Then, YaST network module also succeeded to install smpppd, and setup default route as well. And the update repaired XFCE access as user, too. Several people are reporting very similar issues in the forum and the mail list.

This is very confusing and absolutely not good to be released. Network manager does not work at all. The only thing I was able to achieve is to get some sort of connectivity in "ifup" mode, even though it screams "These packages need to be installed: smpppd" when I choose it. And by the way, I cannot install that package as obviously there is no network at that time. ------ Another annoyance: when I try switching it to "User Controlled with NetworkManager", I see this message: "Applet needed NetworkManager is controlled by desktop applet ... Be sure it's running and if not, start it manually." This is all fine, but a) new users will have absolutely no idea what this is all about. b) experienced users will know, but they will still be annoyed that the system does not make such basics sorted automatically. Then, after clicking "OK" it does something and at the step "Update configuration" it says: "Error No network running" This is very bad indeed. ------ Then I installed "smpppd". The behaviour changed. While it screamed that no network running, the NetworkManager applet was able to see the WiFi. I chose the hot spot, entered the password. It asked me to set up kwallet. So I did. However, it said that the whole thing failed while the network was actually up (NetworkManger was showing that connection as being up). When I disconnected from the hot spot and tried to re-connect, I was asked for a password to kwallet. Upon entering it it said that the connection failed. This time it has failed for sure. And currently I see to way of fixing it as it does not even allow me to re-enter the password. -- 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.
