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.

Comment 3 Jani Välimaa 2021-10-24 15:05:13 CEST 
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

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

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. :(
