eth0 has an ip 192.168.0.102 assigned to it.
Had to try and install ifconfig -- no luck:
Don't install that. It is deprecated, and besides, ip does way more for you.
doug@localhost:~> sudo zypper install net-tools-deprecated [sudo] password for root: System management is locked by the application with pid 3985 (/usr/bin/ruby.ruby2.5). Close this application before trying again.
Ruby is a script language that appears to be extensively used in the package management system. The above means you have something else open that is accessing that system, perhaps YaST or the updater in the system tray. Either close the YaST function that is open, or wait until the updater is done.
(There seems to be something about pid 3985 that's invoked a lot and calling for kill 3985 does not work.
You won't be able to kill anything that belongs to the system, if you don't have admin rights when you try.
