[opensuse-support] network manager on leap 15.1
Hi, all -- I am so frickin' tired of this stupid Network Manager thing. I've gone round and round looking at YaST and seeing that I'm using NM and trying to find nm-applet to set an IP, and it all just goes in a circle. I am in this case using my Live 15.1 thumb drive, right out of the box (so to speak), and trying to assign a static IP address for this server. I've hit docs sites, wikis, mailing list archives, and more and I'm just getting nowhere. I would REALLY love some simple Pointers for Dummies steps to get this thing set.

i wouldn't use network manager on a server. I would just use systemd-networkd. Looks like it's even documented in the openSUSE wiki.

Unfortunately, it didn't do much, perhaps not least because I'm not using WiFi and the example is all about that.

I don't think I'd use Network Manager ever :-) I just dumped it and installed wicked. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

After a couple of hours of reading different doc and arguing with config files and rebooting endlessly, I gave up and switched to wicked. Maybe I'll eventually calm down enough to understand this stupid thing and see why anybody would bother with it. GAAAAAAH! Now to try getting back to work on what I was doing like three days ago before getting derailed by networking.

in that case, i would see the arch wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd-networkd#Wired_adapter_using_a_... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-support+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-support+owner@opensuse.org

Maybe you get that because you are using the live version, which has a limited software selection. For a static wired connection, one would normally use YaST with wicked, not Network Manager. Being the live, perhaps it is not installed. And it is documented: <https://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/leap/reference/html/book.opensuse.reference/cha-network.html#sec-network-yast> -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
