I just spotted the following in the user help mailing list. This sounds an awful lot like before when we'd have to reboot to get a network connection. The network-manager icon is visible in the System tray with a red x next to it. When I hover over the icon it says "NetworkManager not running". When I click on the icon I see that no connection is configured. But I am connected and ifconfig reports: enp0s3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:94:95:0D inet addr:10.0.2.15 Bcast:10.0.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe94:950d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:498 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:493 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:147902 (144.4 Kb) TX bytes:51504 (50.2 Kb) If I go in Yast2 > Services Manager I see that NetworkManager is disabled/inactive. The attempt to enable/activate seems to fail with: Could not enable NetworkManager: NetworkManager.service - Network Manager loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) However after a reboot Network Manager is active and working as expected. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
