Re: Network manager and Gnome 3.12
It seems this is totally my fault (as always). By enabling Rhughes's Gnome 3.12 repo it's make my life harder and harder :) I don't blame him :) So, sometimes my nm-applet trying to get IP address through DHCP for virtual interfaces which should have static address. When I check the output of ifconfig I can see the correct values, but when I open nm-applet edit connections dialog I can see dhcp where I should see static addresses :) Here is my versions NetworkManager.x86_64 1:0.9.9.1-4.git20140319.fc20 @rhughes-f20-gnome-3-12-x86_64 NetworkManager-adsl.x86_64 1:0.9.9.1-4.git20140319.fc20 @rhughes-f20-gnome-3-12-x86_64 NetworkManager-bluetooth.x86_64 1:0.9.9.1-4.git20140319.fc20 @rhughes-f20-gnome-3-12-x86_64 NetworkManager-glib.i6861:0.9.9.1-4.git20140319.fc20 @rhughes-f20-gnome-3-12-i386 NetworkManager-glib.x86_64 1:0.9.9.1-4.git20140319.fc20 @rhughes-f20-gnome-3-12-x86_64 NetworkManager-openvpn.x86_64 1:0.9.9.0-0.1.git20140128.fc20 @updates NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome.x86_64 1:0.9.9.0-0.1.git20140128.fc20 @updates NetworkManager-wwan.x86_64 1:0.9.9.1-4.git20140319.fc20 @rhughes-f20-gnome-3-12-x86_64 Maybe the easiest way to get back to normal is to reinstall my machine and forget those experimental repos :)) L: On 28 July 2014 14:34, Thomas Haller wrote: > On Mon, 2014-07-28 at 14:07 +0200, Pal, Laszlo wrote: >> The only plugin enabled is the RH/Fedora one >> >> [main] >> plugins=ifcfg-rh > > which would be correct, seeing that you use Fedora. > > >> should I put unmanaged for the virtual interfaces to avoid this >> unnecessary dhcp retries?

If you don't want to use DHCP, set the IPv4 method to "manual". Also not sure what you mean by "unmanaged", but that doesn't sound right. Please configure the connections they way you want them too. Use nm-applet, or one of the other UI tools for that. If you have remaining issues, please give some more information, such as: what you want to do; what do you think you are doing; what seems to be happening; and what do you expect to happen instead.

Re: Network manager and Gnome 3.12
The only plugin enabled is the RH/Fedora one [main] plugins=ifcfg-rh should I put unmanaged for the virtual interfaces to avoid this unnecessary dhcp retries? The IP addresses are correct for them, but nm-applet still trying to get address from dhcp... very strange Thanks L: On 28 July 2014 00:37, Thomas Haller wrote: > On Sun, 2014-07-27 at 13:53 +0200, David BERCOT wrote: >> Hello, >> >> I'm on Debian (Sid) and I've recently upgraded to Gnome 3.12. >> For my network, I use guessnet to put the right configuration, >> depending on the place I plug my computer (work, home, etc...). >> >> Before Gnome 3.12, NM showed me the list of options >> (from /etc/network/interfaces) : >> - Ifupdown (Maison) >> - Ifupdown (Travail) >> - etc... >> >> Now, it shows me... nothing... >> And more, it uses DHCP even I'm in a place where the connection should >> be in static mode... >> It seems that, at boot, the right connection is configured by guessnet >> (for exemple "Maison") but, just after, NM changes it with DHCP. >> >> Do you have any clue for me ? >> >> Thank you. > > check whether the ifupdown plugin is enabled > in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.
