[opensuse] Network set up after crash
I am running 13.2, and was trying to build USB drive. Something was wrong, and when I tried to boot the USB drive it started looking for LVM and other things. My system was broken. I managed to recover most of it using rsync and data on other drives. But I cannot get the networking to full capability. I have been running wicked. If I do ifdown and ifup on my devices, they appear to work. But when I go to the tray and click on network icon it is blank. It shows no devices or connections. When I click the wrench, the widow there also gives me no device choices. I can run Thunderbird, but the graphical windows contained within the emails do not load. Thunderbird displays "loading message" at the bottom, but nothing happens. I looked at the section on using the Network Manager and enabled it as described. I did a rcnetwork restart as it suggested, but nothing changed. Where does the applet go to look for the network devices and connections? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

I'm unclear why you stop when you find the GUI says nothing. Obviously you used the command line for running if-up/if-down. Why not 'ifconfig -a'? I'd take that to be a lot more authoritative.

ifconfig -a I did the ifconfig as you suggested and it just listed the three devices as expected. I think something is broken in my routing maybe? When I click on an old link in thunderbird it claims it cannot reach www.suse.com. But if I enter just www.suse.com into Google it opens, so

Thanks for the suggestion:-) DHCP works. I was using statically assigned IP addresses to make my inter machine communication easier.

I do not have multiple separate networks. But I have never been able to get the dynamically assigned IP address associated with host name. I did what you suggested, but I put the /24 in the subnet mask entry. Can you suggest how Yast helps set up the default route? Again, I do not recall having to do anything special in the past.

I do not have multiple separate networks.
Then I don't see a need for any extra static routes.
But I have never been able to get the dynamically assigned IP address associated with host name.
Different issue - you would need dynamic DNS updates. It's entirely doable but irrelevant.

Under Network Settings->Routing - set default IPv4 or IPv6 route. Two fields. /Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

What are you using as a DHCP server and how is it configured? A DHCP server can either respond to a host that 'knows' its name and tells the DHCP server. Or the DHCP server can assign a name. Its all in the configuration! In the past, I've set up a firewall, on other occasions a main server, as the DHCP server and gone to a lot of length to make sure the DHCP config has the 'smarts' to make the network look and behave like I want. The thing is that there are a LOT of ways to do this and a lot of options. It all depends on the hardware and software. Its difficult to make sweeping generalities. On another occasion, I started with DHCP and noted everything .. *EVERYTHING* .. about the network config on the one host and re-entered that for static values. Oh, and it broke the network. That was because I'd hard coded an address that is in the DHCP 'pool'. "Well, don't do that!". If you want names to match up then you need to have DNS and DHCP tightly integrated. The 'dnsmasq' program is one way to do that, if you are using that on the 'server'. As Per says, its doable but irrelevant in the case you've been describing. There is a big caveat on all this: This works for me because my network is behind my firewall. My firewall on the 'red' side does DHCP negotiation with the vendor supplied cable modem. On the 'blue' side it hands out dynamic addresses in the range .100 to .200 to wifi devices. All my statically wired devices have static addresses under .64. If, however, your computer connects to the vendor cable modem (or fibre or DSL-whatever) directly and you start with DHCP, note the values, then hard code them statically, you've set yourself up for a fall. The reaon the vendor is using DHCP in the first place is resource management; some time in the future your 'public' address may change and that static value is now invalid. One of the reasons many vendors use DHCP and ship devices that get used as routers with DHCP as the default is that if you simply use it then its idiot simple and ought to be idiot-proof. However its also one of those cases where "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing". A single hosted machine such as you have described needs only three routes, and they should be set up without the need for manual tweeking. 1. The loopback 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo 2. The LAN host-ip/24 dev Ethernet 3. The default if nothing else is matched This should go to the router Its up to the router to decide whether to send the packet to the Internet or to another LAN segment. How the router is configured, whether its set up statically, uses DHCP, uses a 'discovery protocol', is beyond the scope of what we're discussing here. BTDT. In the worst case, if your DHCP is a mess, you may have to enter #3 manually, but there is no reason you should have to enter #1 or #2 manually. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Don't forget you can leave the computers as DHCP, but force them to a fixed IP by configuring your DHCP server to always give their MACs the same IP. I do that with my wireless router. All devices I know about get a fixed IP. When a guest (or new device) shows up it gets a random IP out of the DHCP range, but as soon as I notice anything using one of those IPs I track it down and assign it a fixed IP. That also improves security because it means I'm aware of all the DHCP clients that use my wireless router.

I'm not sure what you mean. Are you saying there is a HTML message in T'bird you are making use of? I don't trust what's under a HTML email. Anyway, of you want that to open a browser window you ned to set up the "about:config" for T'bird properly first. Preferences -> advanced -> config editor network.protocol-handler.app.http network.protocol-handler.app.https They should both point to your browser. If that's not set then Thunderbird will do nothing. I presume why you say "Google" you mean you are entering it directly in the web browser. If you mean something different, please explain.

Once again, this is confusing. *HOW* are you trying to connect that fails? *WHAT* are the values there? This gets back to the use of DHCP for the outside connection. I connect to my ISP (well cable interface/router) using DHCP. my ISP hands back the assigned IP address *AND* a list of DNS addresses to use (along with a few other details that are not relevant here). These are not browsable addresses, they only respond to DNS queries. Which gets back to the "*HOW* question. If I query them as the servers in 'dig' or 'host' or 'nslookup' then I get a result. <Sidebar that is not relevant to your situation:> As it happens, my desktop suse machine does not connect directly to the cable router, it connects to the firewall machine that connects to the cable router, so the firewall machine has the DNS values supplied by the ISP and my desktop has a static IP address pointing to the firewall and its DNS value in /etc/resol.conf also point to the firewall.

Unless you've got umpteen different interface cards, it's probably easier to set up your network config from scratch. Basically, your network interface needs an address, your system needs a default route and a DNS address (etc/resolv.conf). Do you assign these with DHCP or statically? YaST will help you get this done.

How does one set up routes?
You shouldn't need to on a single hosted machine using DHCP. Running the 'if-up' does it for you, if all else is properly set up. Earlier you said
The route command shows: Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.7.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 wlp11s0
That's correct. my equivalent is 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 enp0s25 But you should also have an entry for loopback: 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo Was that there and you ommited it? Looking at your routl output I think you did. But there should also be a "default' setting As I say, that should be automatically set up, but it does need into about your router address, which should be included in the information provided by the DHCP process, i.e the address of your router. In /etc/sysconfig/dhcp you should have DHCLIENT_SET_DEFAULT_ROUTE="yes" Could you show what's in /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-wlp11s0 please If I were you I'd go back as Carlos suggests and do this all with YAST since YAST ensures consistency and other constraints that you're not sure to have editing files manually. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Where does the applet go to look for the network devices and connections? Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I'm unclear why you stop when you find the GUI says nothing.
Obviously you used the command line for running if-up/if-down. Why not 'ifconfig -a'? I'd take that to be a lot more authoritative.
I also occasionally revert to ifconfig, but it has long been deprecated in favour of 'ip'. 'ip' will give you the same information and more, although not in one single invocation. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (2.7°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

I am running 13.2, and was trying to build USB drive. Something was wrong, and when I tried to boot the USB drive it started looking for LVM and other things. My system was broken.
I managed to recover most of it using rsync and data on other drives. But I cannot get the networking to full capability. I have been running wicked. If I do ifdown and ifup on my devices, they appear to work. But when I go to the tray and click on network icon it is blank. It shows no devices or connections.
That icon is about the NetworkManager, which you do not use when you use wicked. Most likely your network configuration for wicked is not complete. So carefully check all needed parameters. -- fr.gr. member openSUSE Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
