All that in text mode. If I start a graphical session without network, many applications set to start in session saved state fail and delay session start. As it is, it takes 5 entire minutes fro grub to working text prompt - I have a video to prove it. :-/ - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Are you sure that "manual" is the state you want in ppp0 ?
The script that manages the network, returned (code=exited,
status=0/SUCCESS)

I don't use it. The only connected interface is eth0.

Finally, I disabled NM from starting on the session list off applications to start. That was yesterday, I have rebooted a few times since. ifup has now both entries for fixed IP (no dhcp) for IPv4 and 6. Previously there was some delay because there was an IPv6 gateway defined, but no IP, thus no route to the GW. I solved that sometime today. And a service restart works instantly. This is from the last boot:
Why is NM starting? :-O

Yast is well... pretty "special" :-P.. what does this command says systemctl show -p Names network.service

Ask YAST why. systemd does not have magical powers to choose between old if-up and NM.. I also do object having two different incompatible ways to setup the network but oh well.. the NM command line utilities probably need love to be really suitable for replacing if-up.. ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, I know, yast network handling is specially buggy this release, see release notes. But systemd was reporting that the network service had succeeded (status=0/SUCCESS), when it did not. Or it did, but was killed later and did not notice it. I'm not blaming systemd, it is just as bad as systemv >:-P - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

Tell me about it. I'm writing my own network handling scripts. I'm getting tired of typing in config commands with 'ip' to bring up interfaces. All the 'if'-X scripts claim things are handled by something else which isn't handling them. I may be close to having a booting system again, but keeping fingers crossed. It's alike 'whack-a-mole'... knock down one problem and another pops up.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
