Re: Network/Settings (ou l'applet network-manager) fait disparaître la connexion bridge créée si on la désactive

2019-08-21 Thread roger . tarani
Je regarde ça (fork/PR).

J'ai posé la question sur networkmanager-l...@gnome.org et j'ai eu une première 
réaction qui m'invite à corriger la chose. 
En même temps, gérer une connexion bridge avec le GUI (gnome-control-center 
network et nm-applet) n'est pas une chose ordinaire visiblement.
Ça n'est pas si exotique que ça (sur une machine MS, j'ai le souvenir ancien de 
créer des connexions bridge et de les utiliser simplement par le GUI).

Oui. C'est intéressant.

Peux-tu me guider ? 

C'est le code qui présente un GUI avec des boutons à glissière (image jointe).

Comment faire ça proprement et de manière réversible sans casser mon système

S'il faut appréhender tout le code de network, ça va être plus complexe.

2019-08-18 Thread roger . tarani
Comment faire pour savoir si ce comportement avec une connexion bridge est 
intentionnel ? 
Faut-il le déclarer aux personnes de Debian ou à celles de network-manager ? 
(je n'ai aucune expérience pour remonter ce genre de problème). 

Quant à analyser et corriger le code, pourquoi pas, mais c'est une autre 
aventure. 
Est-ce jouable selon vous ?

Network/Settings (ou l'applet network-manager) fait disparaître la connexion bridge créée si on la désactive

2019-08-17 Thread roger . tarani
Bonjour 

Sur une machine en Buster où NM est installé, je crée un bridge (avec 
nm-connection-editor ou nmcli, c'est pareil). 
Tout se passe bien : je crée le bridge, je l'active (up), je supprime 
l'ancienne connection "wired1" qui donnait accès à internet. La machine accède 
toujours à internet par le bridge. 

$ nmcli connection show 
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE 
br0 f8cc5703-e3ba-4afb-b7e6-75fd995cee16 bridge br0 
bridge-slave-enp0s25 cef1a1ae-2d51-46b5-aa9d-81227a8c9be3 ethernet enp0s25 
(tout est en vert) 


Network/Settings affiche bien la connexion créée (voir photos). 



Il y a un seul PROBLEME que je n'arrive pas à résoudre : 

si je désactive la connexion (bridge-slave-enp0s25) avec le bouton glissière, 
elle disparaît, et la machine ne peut plus accéder au réseau internet. 
En fait, cela revient à faire 'nmcli connection down bridge-slave-enp0s25' : 



$ nmcli connection show 
NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE 
br0 f8cc5703-e3ba-4afb-b7e6-75fd995cee16 bridge br0 
bridge-slave-enp0s25 cef1a1ae-2d51-46b5-aa9d-81227a8c9be3 ethernet -- 

(bridge-slave-enp0s25 est passé en blanc) 


J'ai trouvé deux moyens pour réactiver le bridge : 
- soit redémarrer le service NetworkManager ( $ sudo systemctl restart 
NetworkManager.service ) 
- soit activer à nouveau la connexion bridge-slave-enp0s25 ( $ nmcli connection 
up bridge-slave-enp0s25) 

Network/Settings affiche à nouveau la connexion bridge. 


Connaissez-vous un moyen de corriger ou de contourner cela ? 
cad de permettre à Network/Settings de conserver la connexion bridge, au lieu 
de la faire disparaître, pour que je puisse simplement la réactiver. 
J'ai un peu ratissé les forums sans trouver de solution. 



Egalement, indépendamment de tout ça, après un démarrage de la machine, 
nm-applet affiche l'icone normale "connexion à un réseau" (trois petits ordi en 
réseau). Si je redémarre le service NetworkManager, l'icone "réseau défaillant" 
la remplace (voir photo). 
Je n'ai trouvé que le redémarrage de la machine pour retrouver une icône 
conforme à l'état du réseau.

Network settings on gnome-control-center

2015-12-15 Thread Fabrizio Carrai
Hello All,
I'm experiencing a problem on Debian 8 and the network settings using
gnome-control-center, i.e. the applications that starts when we click on
the upper right corner icon.

I alternated the settings of my network configuration between the command
line and the gnome app and now I have a routing instruction that is always
shown in the app but it does not appear in the editing field. The setting
is applied on exit. It looks like the app parameters are stored somewhere
(?) but I cannot understand where. Can somebody helps ?

Thanks.

Not sure if I understand you correctly. But if you changed your network
configuration with something besides NM with the command line (not
using nmcli) you'll probably have problems. 

Either use NM, something similar, or set up the network manually. 

If I misunderstood you the settings for NM connections are in 
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections

HTH,

Getting network settings to stick

2008-06-09 Thread waltwilliams

Greetings

I have put Debian Etch on my laptop. Somewhere during the course of  
the install the IP address I assigned didn't stick. I have used the  
ifconfig command in an attempt to set it but the system doesn't retain  
it between boot ups. I have also looked at the file in the  
/etc/network directory but it has the address set in there. How can I  
get the system to retain the desired IP address?


Any pointers and comments will be appreciated.

You don't need this.
  
Or more specifically, this line (allow-hotplug eth0) allows the first 
wired ethernet card (eth0) to be recognized as being plugged into an 
ethernet connection or not. As I understand it, this allows you to move 
your system from one wired Ethernet jack in one LAN (say in Building 4, 
Room 103) into another jack on another LAN (say in Building 27, Room 
212), without manually restarting your network. It's really only useful 
for laptops. In my experience, it doesn't work very well, so I remove 
this line, and replace it with the line auto eth0, which causes the 
interface to automatically connect only when the /etc/init.d/networking 
script is run with start or restart.


What makes you think the settings don't stick? Are you getting no IP 
address, or a different IP address, or what? If you're getting no IP 
address, I suspect it's the allow-hotplug eth0 line, as Ron suggests.

 this line, and replace it with the line auto eth0, which causes the
 interface to automatically connect only when the /etc/init.d/networking
 script is run with start or restart.

 What makes you think the settings don't stick? Are you getting no IP
 address, or a different IP address, or what? If you're getting no IP
 address, I suspect it's the allow-hotplug eth0 line, as Ron suggests.

  iface eth0 inet static
 address 192.168.0.5
 netmask 255.255.255.0
 network 192.168.0.0
 broadcast 192.168.0.255
 gateway 192.168.0.1
 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed
 dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1

Do you have NetworkManager up and running in that laptop ? I've seen the 
behavior you describe happening with NetworkManager obtaining IPs from a DHCP 
server in the network ignoring the settings in /etc/network/interfaces when 
allow-hotplug eth0 is used along with NetworkManager.

Have you configured the DHCP server with the slugs IP.  If not, DHCP
will not know that the slug's IP has been set.

man 5 dhcpd.conf see the examples for static leases.

 All the correct settings in the correct files but those settings
 don't get read on reboot apparently. 

On the Slug or server?  If the dhcpd.conf setting are correct on the
server then it should assing the slug the IP you set it at


 And if I do a restart of networking, the

What correct setting on what, the slug?

You might want to take a deep breath and try giving us a better

Wayne Topa linuxone at intergate.com writes:

The static IP settings are in /etc/network/interfaces.

The slug actually is my DHCP server and is running DNSMASQ for that. The IP that
it comes up with is within range, but is an old one I used to have assigned to
it which makes me curious.  I don't see why I would have to reserve an address
for it.  Shouldn't Debian boot with the settings I specify regardless of what
the DHCP server says (in this case itself)?   There are no conflicts with other
devices on the network.  And when I check the leases file during the time that
the erroneous settings are applied, there is no listing for the address the slug
got.  This tells me that it may be reverting to its old static settings and not
getting it from DHCP.

The interfaces setup is here:


# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255

Richtig, ich vermute aber mal ganz stark das apt die normalen
proxy-Umgebungsvariablen http_proxy und ftp_proxy wahrnimmt und
beachtet. Sind die bei dir als root gesetzt?

Hmm, Google brachte mich auf die BTS-Seite des Quellpakets apt-setup,
nach einer Suche danach steht fest: Das gibts nur noch fuer den
installer, wenn du das installieren willst musst du es dir per Hand vom
Debian-Mirror ziehen (liegt in /debian/pool/a/apt-setup/).

Tedium of Network Settings

2004-11-28 Thread ocl
I have a box here I am using for various tests.
It's got 3 NICs.
I have to alter various settings for all or each
one of them --domainname, hostname, ip, subnet etc..
I find it rather tedious and error-prone to go through
several text files.
Is there a way of doing this in a more integrated way;
using some sort of GUI --gtk, gnome or kde.

How to reconfigure network settings easily?

2003-06-04 Thread Jon Ramsey
Hi,

I'm running a testing/unstable system on a new machine for home. I set
up the machine at work with a static ip, gateway and dns for our work
network. I've now moved the machine home and I just got cable
broadband so I need to change the network settings to use dhcp - whats
the best way to make the changes? I don't really know anything about
dhcp and I'd prefer not to have to learn too much about it if possible
- ideally I want to go thru the network setup part of the installation
again or run some similar easy process.

Thanks,

 By hand.
 
 Make sure you have a DHCP client installed before doing all this.  In
 /etc/network/interfaces, you should see a section similar to this:
 
 auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet static
   address 192.168.0.4
   netmask 255.255.255.0
   network 192.168.0.0
   broadcast 192.168.0.255
   gateway 192.168.0.1
 
 Change it to this:
 
 auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet dhcp
 
 Your resolv.conf will be updated automatically by your DHCP client in
 most cases, consult your DHCP client's documentation for it's exact
 behavior.
 
 Hope this helps.

Thanks Paul, this seems great (if almost too simple... ;)). 

Now for another stupid question... Given that the installation network
setup allows me to choose to use dhcp am I likely to have a client
already? (i'm at work so i can't check at the moment)

The reason I ask is that I don't have network access for the machine
thru linux until I set this up... potentially a bit of a catch
22. It's a dual boot machine, so I guess I could try and track down
the necessary debs through windows if not.

Thanks again,

  By hand.
  
  Make sure you have a DHCP client installed before doing all this.  In
  /etc/network/interfaces, you should see a section similar to this:
  
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
  address 192.168.0.4
  netmask 255.255.255.0
  network 192.168.0.0
  broadcast 192.168.0.255
  gateway 192.168.0.1
  
  Change it to this:
  
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet dhcp
  
  Your resolv.conf will be updated automatically by your DHCP client in
  most cases, consult your DHCP client's documentation for it's exact
  behavior.
  
  Hope this helps.
 
 Thanks Paul, this seems great (if almost too simple... ;)). 
 
 Now for another stupid question... Given that the installation network
 setup allows me to choose to use dhcp am I likely to have a client
 already? (i'm at work so i can't check at the moment)
 
 The reason I ask is that I don't have network access for the machine
 thru linux until I set this up... potentially a bit of a catch
 22. It's a dual boot machine, so I guess I could try and track down
 the necessary debs through windows if not.

If you can mount any of the FAT drives on Linux (should be able to),
you can grab the deb and the copy from there to the linux partition.

There are 2 dhcp clients: pump (from Red Hat) and dhcp-client.  Most
people use dhcp-client, I think.

Re: how do i configure network settings?

2001-02-13 Thread John Galt

There's a new program in unstable, netconf.  You can go through the
initial setup again with dpkg-reconfigure base-config.  The manual way
to set things up is to edit /etc/network/interfaces

Make sure the following is in there:

auto lo eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

then run /etc/init.d/networking restart

This oughta get your card up

Please set your mail client to wrap at 72 characters.

Just edit -
/etc/network/interfaces

Take a look at man interfaces


It should look something like -

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.10.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.10.0
broadcast 192.168.10.255
gateway 192.168.10.1

depending on your configuration.


Then run -
# /etc/init.d/networking restart

That should do it.

I run woody with kernel 2.4.1, using DHCP. My

--- begin ---
$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

When you edit your configuration file, you should
restart your network.

Assuming the 3com module is loaded ifup eth0 should bring up the

 Sure :) /etc/resolv.conf should look something like:
 
 order hosts,bind
Mmm, don;t thinks so.
Are you not mixing up hosts.conf with resolv.conf here ?

ppp network settings

1998-06-06 Thread Paul Miller

I'm tring to setup dialup to my linux box.  Currently, I can connect,
login, and resolve DNS.  I can not ping _any_ ip addressess (not even my
linux box).

I think I have the DNS and /etc/hosts configured correctly.  However, the
ppp0 --- eth1 is not configured at all.  I only have one ip address, so
ip masquerading needs to be setup.  I already have ip masquerading from
eth0 --- eth1 working.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks

If I remember correctly, you can do it using the install diskette.  Skip the
parts about initializing filesystems, mount your already existing partitions
and select the option to configure the network, reboot, and you should be done.

Just DO NOT initialize the filesystems. That erases what you have on there.
