[opensuse-factory] [RFC] improve tty/serial console login prompt with network infromation
Hi, I run a few virtual machines for development and experiments, of course I create and kill them all the time. Also I sometimes plays with ARM JeOSes, constantly trying to fix the things on my BeagleBone Black. Usually it looks like dd_rescue new image onto sd, boot the system, and dispose sd card. Common issue here, that initially I see the boot process of the newly deployed operating system through the console, serial console in case of ARM board, or 'virtual' text tty console in case of virtual machine manager. It usually ends up with the things kind of the following: Starting Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service... [ OK ] Started Network Manager Script Dispatcher Service. [ OK ] Started X Display Manager. [ OK ] Created slice user-490.slice. Starting User Manager for UID 490... Welcome to openSUSE Factory "Harlequin" - Kernel 3.18.0-rc6-5-default (ttyO0). linux login: And in most cases, the first step here is to login to find the current IP address. I would like to see something like the following instead: [ OK ] Started X Display Manager. [ OK ] Created slice user-490.slice. Starting User Manager for UID 490... Welcome to openSUSE Factory "Harlequin" - Kernel 3.18.0-rc6-5-default (ttyO0). lo: link/loopback inet 127.0.0.1/8 eth0: link/ether c8:a0:30:af:5d:96 inet 192.168.185.23/24 linux login: I.e. I would like to see IP addresses before login prompt, like CoreOS does. As cloud computing services and virtualization grow nowadays I think this can be suitable and useful for almost all users. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
