(Oh, and while it's not important, could your method cope with an nfs-mount home? Perfect little catch-22 - the network won't come up until the user is logged in, but there's no home directory until the user is logged in ... :-)
"Doctor, it hurts when I stab myself in the eye".
Of course you cannot store secrets required to bring up network on a filesystem that is not available before network is up. I am not sure what miracles you expect here.
I would like to be able to store them on a local filesystem, perhaps? And have the system bring the network up as part of the boot procedure, which is where I expect it happen?
That is what NM does if you use system connection (some frontends call it "available to all users"). Necessary credentials are stored in root filesystem.
Have you heard the saying "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing"? My knowledge of networking is pretty decent, but of Network Manager and friends it's a case of "I let the wizard handle it". And said wizard has plonked me into this catch-22.
It helps if you tell more details; there are at least three different frontends to NM (original nm-connection-editor, GNOME shell frontend, KDE frontend). I do not know what each one defaults to. I started nm-connection-editor and "connection available to all users" was enabled when creating new connection.
I'm guessing it's KDE front end. I've installed bog-standard 42.2 (actually, upgraded from 42.1) and I clicked on the network icon at the bottom right of my desktop to configure it.
How do I fix my system so that it does NOT default to a broken configuration? And yet correctly mounts the filesystems I want available?
Assuming you are using NM and connection that requires credentials (like WiFi), you edit connection and look for "System connection" or "available to all users" or similar checkbox. Otherwise please tell more details about your environment.
Okay, I will look at that next time I fire up my laptop (I'm on my gentoo desktop at the moment). Cheers, Wol -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
