OpenSUSE Network :: No Ethernet Device After Installing Updates?
May 26, 2011
I'm currently using SuSE 11.4 and after running the full online updates and restarting the machine as YAST suggested, I no longer have eth0/eth1 available.
I'm clueless about what to do since I'm kinda new to Linux and at the moment, I'm trying out all the distros before making a full commitment to anyone. So far, Ubuntu has been trouble-free from day one, but I'm willing to give this distro (opensuse) some slack.
I'm on opensuse 11.4 (11.3 won't work with my monitor).
My computer gets internet through wireless and I want to share that internet through its ethernet port. So far I've tried using Knetworkmanager to create a network bridge between my wireless and wired connections. I created a new wired connection and shared it using the ip address settings. I was able to get both connections active, but the device hooked up via ethernet had no internet connectivity.
I also tried this command: echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
but another test resulted in the same fashion (no internet on wired). I believe anything I add to /proc should have an immediate effect, correct?
Suse 11.2 > updated Feb 2 using the Update UI applet.
I had internet connectivity prior to installing the updates. Now I can't reach the internet since installing the updates. I can reach my router, log in to the router I also ping the router but I can not ping the WAN side ip on the router.
When I boot into redmond, no issues, which is what I'm using as I write this.
I have security enabled, WPA2 Personal, not that I think that is an issue as I can reach the router, my server, network printers, and PC's.
I am running a Linksys router but have replaced the standard Linksys software with DD-WRT v24-sp2 build date 12/28/09 std. One note, DD-WRT does hand out IpV6 address but I have disabled FF from using IpV6 address along with the network connection configuration applet from accepting them. (I don't remember the applets name)
In the redmond world this would be a certificate error, is this the same type of an issue? If so how do I fix it?
I know that there is support for this, but i can't seem to find any appropriate tools. Let's say my widget is at 192.168.1.111; i need to open a terminal window talking to it. Then i can control the things connected to it (it is a bus converter). oS 11.1, KDE 3.5, various machines.
I often use an Ethernet cable to connect my computer to another computer for various purposes. But when I do that, I cannot use the internet even though I'm still connected to a WiFi access point. I'm presuming that's because openSUSE is trying to reach the internet through the Ethernet cable, which has precedence over WiFi.Is there a way to enable internet usage via WiFi while I'm connected to another computer over Ethernet?
In Installed Fedora and the network did not mount or establish a connection. I installed and uninstalled over the last three days, ClearOS, Ubuntu, OpenSUSE all packages installed the network with any issues. I am looking at the best solution for Kannel/Mbuni for MMSC and WAP services.I want to build our own system -Grass Roots andlearn and grow from there.I am right now recuseing the network connection(selected) from the bootdisk ISO and rebooting the system. The network connection Fail again. NetworkManger has - "This Service is Dead"I am a newbie with Linux, I have some on-hands and I am learning as I go. Lots of material to read and FAQ site, and this forum,
I have fresh install of SuSe11.2 64x My software updater applet tells me there are about 50 or so updates required. I check all and then click install, get prompted for admin password but then nothing happens except the software updater window closes and if I hover my mouse over the applet it tells me it is updating.
however hours later and nothing appears to have happened. If I click the updater applet all the selected updates still appear in the update window. I have added all the standard repos and have network connectivity. I'm a bit baffled here - it worked perfectly fine on my last 11.2 on the same machine.
I have just switched over from Ubuntu. My PC with Ubuntu connected to the ethernet fine, but now the internet is not found at all. Can someone tell me what sort of things I need to do to get my internet up?
For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.
Today I switched from Ubuntu to OpenSuse. But I can't setup my Ethernet connection.I have 2 PCs connected with a crossover cable, one with Ubuntu, the other with OpenSuse 11.3. Lights are on in both NICs.
I am using Sony vaio E series laptop. Previously, I was using my E63 nokia phone as modem for internet connection and i have installed K-internet in my Opensuse OS, and configured wvdial.conf as follows:
But now, I have Reliance Brodband Connection through LAN. when I am Pluggin in my LAN cable in my laptop YAST Network Configuration Showing Marvell Ethrtnrt is not Configured, When i am going to configured that part it's showning me no Enther net present or Configured By ny Hardware Is detecting ethernet. So, I have concluded that it might be the problem with my wvdial.conf. Also, additional information are as follows:- S- Open suse 64bit, Version- 11.2, cause I cannot Connect to my Internet now? What should I do to have this Problem Fixed?
I've been searching for a couple of hours and have not found any threads that solve my situation... hope I'm not repeating something here.
Setup: Notebook with openSUSE 11.2 using KDE 4. Using Network Manager to manage network connection (although I've tried configuring this using ifup as well with no luck).
I need to be able to connect to client networks via a network cable (Ethernet) and connect to the internet via my MiFi 2200 Mobile WiFi. Both cards/connections are active with the following:
I have no problem mounting drives from the client's network. But, can not reach the internet. If I disconnect the ethernet cable, the browser will immediately connect to the internet and load web pages.
I'm assuming the ethernet connection is taking precedence over the wireless connection?
I can't imagine that there is not a way to set this up. If Windows can do it, I'm sure openSUSE can!
system: destop openSUSE 11.4 KDE single wired network connection running as a headless server upgrade from 11.1
Problem: I had a bunch network services running under 11.1 with KDE. Now after upgrade to 11.4 full network functionality is broken. I was using ifup but now is broken. Between ifup and NetworkManager I can demonstrate the full required range of functionality but not all at the same time (the union of functionality of each provides the full required functionality, but not individually). WOL does work in all cases.
With 'ifup', it seems that everything is 'working' as before, but services are broken when accessed from outside. eth0 up and fuctioning with statically assigned IP. Outgoing connections seem to work - I can browse the web. But trying to access services from outside is broken. VNC is rejected. Connecting to SMB shares reports login error. TFTP doesn't respond. SSH connection is rejected.
Although sometimes it will get in a state that everything except VNC works (connects but then is dropped upon login with "Error while waiting for server message") but I can't consistently reproduce this state other than it seems to happen after some extended period of time.
I have verified the firewall is off and apparmour is off.
On the other hand, everything works with 'NetManager' (both KDE and Plasmoid) with no other changes. The problem here is that it does not seem possible to set a static IP address - eth0 doesn't show up in the list of wired interfaces to be able to select and edit. That's problem 1 - I need a static IP. (I suppose I could reserve an address at the DHCP server, but a static IP works 100% to get the right address). The other problem is that neither NetManager starts at boot and only start _after_ login at the console - that won't work as I never log in at the console. (I suppose I could set it up to login automatically into a console or something but I would rather not)
I installed the OpenSUSE 11 on my IBM T43 laptop. After installation finish I found the Yast can't detect the integrated ethernet cardBroadcomCorporationNetXtremeBCM5751MGigabitEthernet PCI Express(rev 11).
How can I enable the network with Networkmanager WIHTOUT logging in in OpenSuse 11.2? If I define a connection for ethernet the System connection is greyed out. I want to use Networkmanager because I have also wireless connections...
My WiFi can connect to internet without any problem, until I plug my ethernet cable ...then I lose internet.
So the question is : how do I configure my ip/dns and stuff to still have internet when I'm plugged by cable at the same time! it was working on windows ;-)
I have a strange problem. An old PC is my home server. On the PC I had in the long past 2 NICs. For the last year or so, I had only one NIC installed, a Compex with 8139too module which run just fine. After the upgrade to 11.4, 32bit of course, with zypper dup, I saw that I had no internet and no network connection to the server. So, I logged on the server and found that rcnetwork could not start the eth0 and eth3(!). OK, a mistake I thought. Enter Yast and solve it. Unfortunately, yast reports 2 cards! I removed all of them, rebooted but nothing. lspci reports 2 cards, while I have NONE installed on the motherboard!hwinfo --netcard the same! yast the same! So, the OS "knows" that I have 2 NICs, while I definitely have none!
Checked if /etc/udev/rules.d/70- had any left data from the past, but the file was empty. Checked the /etc/sysconfig/network/scripts nothing again.In principle, the openSUSE 11.4 believes that I have 2 cards (and with wrong MACs, obviously) and I cannot make it rescan the PCI bus to find that I have nothing! I am sure that some garbages are left somewhere but I don't know where to look at. it is very critical to have that server but on-line and in my LAN.
In my YaST Network Settings (11.3), I see an entry labelled "Unknown Network Device" how to remove the confusion? The Overview tab also correctly lists my three known network devices (listed below), as does the Hardware Information utility. This is the output of lspci, and as far as I can tell, is accurate and complete. So what has YaST seen that it can't identify?
I've just installed OpenSuse 11.2 64-bit and, on the whole, I'm pretty happy with it. I'm connected to the network and I am posting this from my new system. However I cannot get any software updates or install new packages
I'm behind a (non-authenticated) proxy and, obviously, Firefox has no problem.
If I use Online Updater I just get error messages like this:
PackageKit Error repo-not-available: Failed to download ./repodata/primary.xml.gz from Index of /update/11.2 (but the site is available in Firefox).
I have tried manual updates through Yast (after setting the proxy) and get pretty much the same thing.
So far I have set the proxy in:
Firefox /etc/sysconfig/proxy /etc/PackageKit/PackageKit.conf Computer -> Yast -> Network Services -> Proxy (That has a test function which confirms it is working). Applications -> System Settings -> Network Settings (This tells me that the network settings are controlled by NetworkManager and can't be modified by Yast).
I was wondering if anyone else is having trouble getting updates. I ran the software update out of the control center when I first installed 11.4 with the gnome desktop.I ran the yast online update and got what was on there, but now it just gives me error messages, basically it's stating it can't connect to the repositories.
I'm new to this environment. I'm currently using OpenSuse 11.2 freshly installed. I'm attempting to install FCoE as a target on one box and an initiator on another. I've gone to the Open-FCoE.org site and got the tar file open-fcoe-2.6.34.tar.gz and attempted to install it, but there appear to be missing dependencies, such as libhbalinux. However, the more I seem to install, the more there are unresolved dependancies. I've followed the Open_FCoE Target and Iniator Quick Starts, but I'm running into many missing souce dependencies. What exactly I need in the way of packages, files, etc and how to install them? Is there any documentation of how to install FCoE from scratch?
After updating to openSUSE 11.3, and restarting my computer, I placed my computer in sleep(suspend to RAM) mode, and I lost my internet connectivity. I noticed that my computer was only connected through ethernet. After entering "dhclient eth0" in a terminal, I received the following output.
Code:
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
This is the first time that I have had issues with connecting to the Internet using Ethernet.
I have a hp zd 7000, i really like this laptop, the onboard ethernet will not work at all. i purchased a dynex wired ethernet pcmcia card to get on the internet with. i have had no luck getting on the internet with it it will light up so i am getting power but no transmitting light works at all i have three net work cards listed in the system. one is the wireless. and the other two are the wired eth0 is the onboard and eth2 is the dynex what can i do next to determine the problem i do not use the wireless at all.
I have a Opensuse 11.4 workstation that has two ethernet ports and I was wondering if there is the chance to use the other ethernet port as a switch to a Mac/PC?
I just added a 2 port network card to a system that is running Fedora 11, but it is INACTIVE. I open the Network Device Control to activate it but there is no network ports in Network Device Control. It is empty.It looks like the system recognize the card and loaded correct driver.
I installed 10.3 (after buying it a couple of years ago and letting sit on the shelf) and can't get it to configure my ethernet connection or my wireless card. Yast doesn't include a list of available cards, and the error I get in installation-network setup is that the kernel isn't present. The machine I'm installing this on is a Lenovo, in which there isn't a discrete ethernet card (it's in the motherboard), but my wireless card (a Cisco LINKSYS 802.11G) is a discrete card. Because I'm divorcing Microsoft for a number of valid reasons, I don't have Windows available on that box.
