Description Angelo Naselli 2021-10-23 14:35:51 CEST

I installed a fresh cauldron VM from network (using network install iso) 
All seemed to went ok, at the end though after the restart the network is not working, running drakconnect from console i got the following messages:

[anaselli@localhost ~]$ drakconnect

Thank you for the report.
Assigning it to the 'tools' group.

Please test again with initscripts-10.04-0.3.mga9.

network-scripts now requires ifplugd and permissions for ifdown-* and ifup-* scripts are fixed.

Comment 4 Angelo Naselli 2021-10-24 15:07:06 CEST

Should i install all again for that? or just update the system

Comment 5 Jani Välimaa 2021-10-24 15:17:20 CEST

A fresh install would be the best, but I guess you can start with an update.

Comment 6 Angelo Naselli 2021-10-24 18:21:57 CEST

I'll try to do both, starting from updating as soon as it is provided.

Comment 7 Alex Kotov 2021-10-25 17:46:57 CEST

@Jani Välimaa
Hi, Jani. "ifplugd" appeared and the network work. Now the minimal installation (IceWM only) lacks "net-tools" (ifconfig does not work).

After updating works now. I have to test a fresh install though.
Experienced comment #7 too

I wouldn't call this as an issue. /usr/sbin/ip from iproute2 should be used nowadays instead of ifconfig. iproute2 is pulled by basesystem and should be always available.

Comment 10 Angelo Naselli 2021-10-25 19:23:08 CEST

true that, Jani

Thanks. However, it's a pity, because ifconfig was one of my favorite command. :)  For interest, I looked in LUbuntu-21.04 - "net-tools" is also missing there. Alas, time cannot be stopped. :(
