[opensuse] OS13.2 RC1: Network manager not running
I just installed OS13.2 RC1 in a virtualbox. The network-manager icon is visible in the System tray with a red x next to it. When I hover over the icon it says "NetworkManager not running". When I click on the icon I see that no connection is configured. But I am connected and ifconfig reports: enp0s3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 08:00:27:94:95:0D inet addr:10.0.2.15 Bcast:10.0.2.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::a00:27ff:fe94:950d/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:498 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:493 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:147902 (144.4 Kb) TX bytes:51504 (50.2 Kb) If I go in Yast2 > Services Manager I see that NetworkManager is disabled/inactive. The attempt to enable/activate seems to fail with: Could not enable NetworkManager: NetworkManager.service - Network Manager loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service: enabled) Active: inactive (dead) However after a reboot Network Manager is active and working as expected. -- /~JC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

However after a reboot Network Manager is active and working as expected.
Hope this doesn't mean 13.2 will come with broken networking on first boot like 13.1 did. After the reboot does it come up every time on subsequent boots? I recall a similar issue with the purge-kernels service which reported itself as loaded but inactive. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Yes, once NetworkManager is enabled in YaST2 it does come up every time showing "Wired Connection 1". Should I report it as a bug? -- /~JC -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

You could but I fear if it's really another such bug it'll be too late now to get fixed for final release, the gold master is practically ready I believe. Another bug I've reported in the RC last week has gone unanswered. I can't believe they would have let the same bug creep in again a year on, though it does sound similar. Perhaps it's just your particular network card. I've found that with various issues over the years I've had to go into YaST Network Devices, switch to traditional ifup method and configure things there, then when that's working I can switch back to using Network Manager and all's well. I'd say report it only if you're able to reproduce it. Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The new network manager is completely broken now. It is sad, really. To sit there and watch it spin around, supposedely looking for dhcp serives and looking at the network traffic and see that it is not sending out lease requests whatsoever is very fustrating.

You might want to file a bug report. I'm not experiencing these problems. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
