Re: nm-online -s errors but nnonline doesn't (and networking is up)

Hi,

I have NetworkManager 1.10.8 on Fedora 28 here.

Networking is up and working fine but nm-online -s fails, even though
nm-online (without -s) succeeds:

$ nm-online
Connecting...............   30s [online]
$ nm-online -s
Connecting...               30s
Connecting...               29s
Connecting...               28s
...
Connecting...............    0s [offline]

I'm not even sure what causes this state to know where to even start
looking for the problem.  Clearly given the description for the -s
argument, NM doesn't think it's started up, but everything that needs
to be up for networking to be working is up.

Not sure what's useful in diagnosing this sort of thing but for
starters:

hi,


nm-online in "--wait-for-startup" mode is very different from the
regular mode (as the manual page explains).

Essentially, --wait-for-startup waits until you see a message
  NetworkManager[1206]: <info>  [1527852777.2184] manager: startup complete
in the logfile

After that point, startup is always considered completed. Hence, --
wait-for-startup only matters, after starting NM daemon (e.g. during
boot). `nm-online -s` is thus only useful in conjunction with
/usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-wait-online.service.
And plain `nm-online` is probably never useful :)


If you enable level=TRACE logging (see [1]), you will also see
messages:

  manager: check_if_startup_complete returns FALSE because of eth0

which tells you reasons why NM thinks startup is not completed yet.

If you dig further, search for "pending.action" messages:
 
  (eth0): add_pending_action (1): 'carrier-wait'
  (eth0): remove_pending_action (0): 'carrier-wait'

As long as there are such pending actions on a device, startup-complete 
won't be reached either. Pending-actions are not the only reason for
blocking startup-complete, but a common one.

best,
Thomas

Use "nmcli device show" to get complete information about known
devices and
"nmcli connection show" to get an overview on active connection
profiles.

Consult nmcli(1) and nmcli-examples(5) manual pages for complete
usage details.

I'm wondering what else I should check.

Cheers,
