OpenSUSE :: Has Network Manager Changed
Jul 30, 2010
Some time ago I asked about SCPM in 11.3. Turns out it was removed, and the suggestion is made to use Network Manager.
Some of us are not excited about this, because despite the name Network Manager did not manage networks - it managed connections. Those of us who presently use SCPM to choose which NFS fstab entries, which printer, etc
When changing connections want to know whether indeed Network Manager can indeed now manage networks instead of just connections.

My Network-Manager icon used to show as a diagonal line with a ball in the middle, now it shows as an Up-Arrow-next-to-a-Down-Arrow. Anybody know why the icon has changed? Is its appearance controllable by me--can I change it back to the old icon display?

Before the update my computer was named "joe-laptop", (i think it was the host name is what its called, that was named "joe-laptop". Along with that, on my KDE session/desktop (I installed Ubuntu, but later got the kubuntu desktop packages) I had the gnomes network manager used instead of KDEs (kdes network manager was giving me problems, I would type the password in for my wifi router, then it would stall, then ask again as if its ignoring the password. but thats not important so im not gonna get into that whole part (at least yet)).
When i upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 the login screen said "localhost.localdomain" rather than "joe-laptop", and in the terminal it says "joe@localhost", rather than "joe@joe-laptop", along with that it kicked KDEs network manager back into use on the kde desktop, which means I can't access the internet on kde now.
I'm trying to fix the network manager part myself, but if I can't get that Ill post in this thread or edit this post. I was able to previously get gnomes network manager to load over it so I'm sure I'll hit it again.
I figured out the problem, it turns out that the name problem was that it deleted the /etc/hosts file, so i just copied the older hosts I backed up a month or so ago and slapped it in there and it worked perfect.
As for getting the gnome network manager, it must not be compatible with the qtcurve gtk theme, cause I switched it the gtk theme to a newer one, then loaded back up nm-applet and bam it came up there!

I deleted the firewall files "K09SuSEfirewall2_init", "K01SuSEfirewall2_setup", "S11SuSEfirewall2_setup" and "S01SuSEfirewall2_init" from "/etc/rc.d/rc5.d" in order to disable the firewall when rebooting.
As a consequence all network services are not working. I can't connect to any other machine nor to the internet.
I rebuilt the symbolic files based on the ones for runlevel 3, but still no network services are available.
Any suggestions how to make it work again? I'm using Suse 11.3.

in 11.1 (2.6.27*) there were occasional kernel msgs generated in the "messages" log:May 26 21:57:28 blkdragon kernel: TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer 188.48.28.209:18769/58845 shrinks window 2778476289:2778478629. Repaired.had to do with torrents/java and azureus/utorrent, with the outside ip number/port assignments easily understood and parsed if necessary.in 11.2 (2.6.31.5) the same type of entry is:00:24:23 blkdragon kernel: [258668.819024] TCP: Peer 0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:ffff:54b6:489e:10858/44949 unexpectedly shrunk window 3076383191:3076383869 (repaired)

I'm currently running 11.2 and I configured Proxy settings in the YaST module. It seems that when I use a proxy I have problems updating. It can retrieve some files, but while getting others it fails. Furthermore, I can't establish a connection with the timeserver in the YaST -> NTP configuration module.
My question is if there have been changes from this version to 11.3 regarding the Proxy settings.

Need to track which users are making changes to production files. I have a small number of administrators with access to su, but need to be able to identify which administrator is making changes to which files after they have su.I have read several post and articles regarding auditd tool, but it is not clear to me whether this tool can generate a log that shows the original user and file being altered.

There is a big problem with opensuse 11.4 and virtual interfaces.Until 11.2 outgoing traffic by default was sent by the eth0 address nevertheless which virtual interfaces did exist if any was used.Now there seems to be sent by the last interface listed with ifconfig.The outgoing address in this case will be 10.0.0.3.This is very problematic with smtp control etc.

I've not found how to configure more than one ip address with network manager.Nor with kde nor with plasmoid network manager.I need several virtual ip addresses for eth0 when the "default" of eth0 is connected i.e. "Connected to Auto eth0" should initialize the virtual interfaces.I have not found no even how to configure the ip address.I think this will be used from ifup config in yast or not?There I have the virtual interfaces but they are not taken from network manager.And last but no least: Is it possible that when using network manager the eth0 is enabled even no user has logged in?

I am using an Acer Aspire 5536 AMD dual core laptop with a 64bit installation of Susie 11.4. Using 11.2 I had no problems connecting to the wireless router. As soon as 11.4 was installed, clean install, and the laptop rebooted, network manager failed to start, until manually invoked and then enabling networking through the system tray. Even after this it will not connect to a wired or wireless network sometimes for more than 30 minutes.

I recently installed OpenSUSE 11.2 and everything works fine except wi-fi card, of course. The problem is that after installation the system recognized the card (is was listed in network devices in Yast) but I was unable to enable it through network-manager applet. Though the device could make scanning through terminal (found article in docs but didn't fully understand wpa_gui). Then i was stupid enough to delete the device from Yast list to try to reinstall it. So the problem is that i simply can't do this cause i see no way to re-detect. That is the goal is to at least turn back to post-install system state and try to enable wifi card again.

When I attempt to connect to a wireless network, the network manager asks me for the network's password, then says 'setting network address' for 20 or so seconds, then asks me for some random Hex or ASCII key in the same type of window I put the password in (Secrets for Noel -- KDE Daemon). Since a key is already typed into the window, I press OK, which then causes the network manager to go back to 'setting network address', then the window pops up again and keeps repeating itself.
I'm running Opensuse 11.4 with KDE, and my driver is ath9k. I don't know much about linux so please don't tell me to 'recompile this' or 'change this setting' without explaining how to do it. Please help, I've been unable to connect to wireless in OpenSUSE for 2 weeks now.

Im new in this world of linux and suse. I have just installed the opensuse 11.2 in a Dell Inspiron 5160. Such laptop has a BCM4306 Wireless LAN controller. When I tried to configure a wlan connection, I found that the firmware was not installed. After looking in different forums, I installed the firmware b43. Now, my wlan card is abled to find the wireless of my router.
I have tried to configure a connection with YAST as well as with Network Manager, but both cases failled. Specifically, when I use Network manager, Im able to see in the applet my connection, how strong is the signal, but I see a yellow symbol (in one forum, such a box is shown with a green symbol).
I have check many time all about the secutity, encryption, and so one and all seems to be correct. But when I open the mozila firefox or the konqueror browser, no chance to surffer in internet. Now Im just a step to become crazy. The drivers are ok, the information about the router and the keys are ok, but in such a way, I am still harmloss.

All settings are correct as far as i can tell. The wep key works on all my windows boxes. When i have connect automatically enabled it never tries to connect. if I go to edit it it pops kde wallet up i put in credentials. wallet goes away then nothing happens. if i double click connection to my router also nothing happens. I have the wep key in there and i even made it visible to make sure.

I'm putting a opensuse 11.4 64 bit KDE install on an HP -G62 laptop.
I also use an NFS network.
I want to use a wireless network.
The problem is that network manager keeps insisting on asking kwallet for permission to start up the network. As a consequence boot hangs because the nfs network can't find the files in /etc/fstab because the network can't start because you can't see kwallet until it finishes booting.
I have options set in networkmanager to store the password in connection secrets in secure storage, and it insists on asking kwallet!
I don't want to get rid of kwallet because it's very useful otherwise - just not at boot time?
How do I modify the behaviour shown here?

The network manager will ask me for my security key and it will not accept it. Instead when I use the show password feature to see what I typed in was correct, it shows something completely different than what I typed. For instance if my Key was :when it pops up and ask to for me to retype it again it shows something completely different in hex. Is there anyway I can use a different network manager?

the thing is that I cant use Network Manager to connect to Internet, because it simply do not connect. The connection, although, awailable throught yast when i choose "traditional method with ifup", so everything is just fine, but if i need to reconnect, i have to reboot. How do I setup a !working! connection through Network Manager, or maybe i do not do something properly.

I'd like to have a set up where my Ethernet card has a static IP set up but my WiFi card doesn't.Currently I have a profile for this set up in Network Manager, however on boot up and every time I replug the cable Network Manager chooses the default "auto eth1" profile. I manually have tochoose my own profile for the Ethernet card every time. How can I make it default??I know the workaround would be to use ifup but then I lose the ability to quickly change access points for my WiFi card so that's not a solution for me
