Description Sébastien B. 2021-03-29 21:28:33 CEST

Description of problem:
Hello,

After mounting an iPhone, a file is created in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ (in my case enp0s20u8c4i2).
After unmounting the iPhone this created file is still present,

https://imgur.com/a/xOxyfHL

and generates the error Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking.
After deleting the file (ifcfg-enp0s20u8c4i2), the system will launch correctly without network error.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):




How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
After mounting an iPhone.
(installing the package usbmuxd and in root : usbmuxd -f -v
in another shell, in user : idevicepair pair
unlock your iPhone and tape the unlock code.
idevicepair pair
and for a folder with the name pics : mkdir ~/pics && ifuse ~/pics
after use, unmount and delete folder :
fusermount -u ~/pics && rmdir ~/pics
I don't know if this problem also exists with android devices.

See comment 0.

Attached the referenced external terminal image to this bug. It is always better to attach screenshots etc to a bug rather than store them elsewhere, because they are generally short-lived there.

Also, in this case, you could more simply have just selected/pasted the terminal output illustrated directly into the bug. Never mind.

Thank you for the report.

Unsure where to assign this, or which pkg is the guilty party; so doing so globally.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply.

On the French forum, similar cases are users, using netapplet.
Those using Network Manager do not appear to be affected.
I allow myself to put a line of thought, on which we discuss. The translation gives this:

"The connection of a usb peripheral (a telephone for example) which would have acted as network card?
en: ethernet device
p0: port 0
s20: slot 20

But after:
u: for usb
c: configuration 4
i: interface 2

I doubt that the configuration is saved automatically. In fact it would be necessary that in netapplet / drakconnect, as soon as there is a "u" in the name there is the possibility of letting the system know that it is about of a temporary interface which must be deleted when shutting down the system! "

Thanks !

Hello,

With another Mageia user, owning an Apple device, and after mounting the device, the file is also created in :

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ 

However, it uses network manager.

In his system logs, the error: Failed to start LSB: Bring up/down networking is absent.

The problem seems to come from using NetApplet/Drakconnect.

Is it possible to assign this bug to the maintainers of this tool?
