(*) My other point mentioned in another reply, the availability of net connection without someone being logged in, *is* such a showstopper though.
The default network manager interfaces connect just fine without a user being logged in. In all my tests, NetworkManager already does this just fine, and already has for quite some time (at least every Leap release to date). Obviously if this doesn't work it would be a bug that needs to be addressed, but I don't think we should assess the feasibility of features we could have today on the possibility of bugs which do not seem to have today.
Sorry, not true.
I just went to my laptop to do the test in 15.0: I logged out of my session in XFCE, went to the console, used "if addr" and the wlan had lost the IP. I can not post the command output, no network there now.
I know how to make it work (perhaps), but then, that is not the default config.
Later I thought to test the cable, so I connected it without login, and it worked. Why this connection works by default and not the other, I don't know; maybe it is related to needing a password.
Then there is the setting "use this connection by other users" or similar wording, which is a manual action that I haven't done in that setup. It then requires the root password to configure.
Hm. What if I have a disfunctional desktop on the host and can login via console only? Last time I had to do this (as root), I had no network connection. And there was no "cable connect" available at this location, only WLAN.
This was nearly a year ago, and I could not figure out how to activate WLAN from command line with NM. Did the software change in that respect?
nmtui is my main NM client. It's more agile and responsive that any applet included in the desktops... and it works in good old console. Of course, it doesn't help if nmtui is not installed and you have to configure the network to install it. ;-) Cheers -- Ancor González Sosa YaST Team at SUSE Linux GmbH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
