Fedora FC31. NetworkManager-1.20.10-1.fc31.x86_64 This a cross post with Fedora user. On FC31 I can't persistently rename the interfaces, see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1777893 I'll give up and use FC31 interface names : enp1s0 and enp0s20u3. I've used nmtui to set up the interfaces. But NM won't activate them because they are "strictly unmanaged" !!
Hi, I think this is a bug. NetworkManager is running in initrd. Thereby it already activates the interface. Later, udev wants to rename the interface, but since it's already up, it fails to do so. The result is that udev doesn't indicate that the device is initialized, which causes NM to wait for it (and thus it's unmanaged). It seems there are several potential issues: - why does NetworkManager even run in initrd, if you didn't configure it to do so? - if NM is running in initrd, should it wait for udev to rename the device? - why does udev completely fail in this case? - maybe NM should after a timeout stop waiting for udev, to mitigate this issue. You could look at the logfile to verify that. Enable level=TRACE logging, but most interesting are also the messages from initrd and udev. best, Thomas
What does that mean and how do I fix it ? Is there some other way to persistently activate the interface ? /etc/network/interfaces does not exist. sean cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-enp* TYPE=Ethernet PROXY_METHOD=none BROWSER_ONLY=no BOOTPROTO=none IPADDR=10.10.11.251 PREFIX=24 DNS1=10.10.11.251 DEFROUTE=no IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=no IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy NAME=enp0s20u3 UUID=bf8aa45c-31e4-403a-9c14-c1a59bf0f2b2 ONBOOT=yes DEVICE=enp0s20u3 TYPE=Ethernet PROXY_METHOD=none BROWSER_ONLY=no BOOTPROTO=dhcp DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy NAME=enp1s0 UUID=a1b089e9-5a13-4df7-8f09-9f54ebc56cea DEVICE=enp1s0 ONBOOT=yes _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list gnome org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
