When I rebooted Tumbleweed after updating to snapshot 20200425 (which included kernel 5.6.6), the Network Manager showed no active wireless network connection (though it listed the router I connect to), and when I tried to reconnect I was requested (by the policy kit security manager?) to enter the root password, but when I did, nothing happened. I have seen no reports of a similar problem. Only after booting a previous snapshot with kernel 5.6.4 was the network available again. When I run `zypper dup' with this snapshot it wants to install everything from snapshot 20200425 and later. What can I do to restore network access on current tw?
I'd first tets if this is really the kernel causing the problem. This is quite easy, as you can keep multiple kernels on your system.
for this, set in /etc/zypp/zypp.conf:
multiversion = provides:multiversion(kernel) multiversion.kernels = latest,latest-1,running
Then zypper dup and pick the old kernel from the grub boot menu. Like this you would have snapshot 0425, running on the older kernel.
Just to be sure I understand, are you saying I should make the change to /etc/zypp/zypp.conf and run zypper dup on the currently running snapshot with kernel 5.6.4? Or boot snapshot 20200425 again and there do the change and zypper dup (which would only work if I can get the network via cable, which I haven't tried yet)?
