Description Ivan Zakharyaschev 2011-12-07 17:38:34 MSK
livecd-save-nfs-0.3-alt4 in Simply Linux 6.0.1RC2 DVD live system

/etc/init.d/livecd-save-nfs is executed in the LiveCD system when changing runlevels (e.g., "telinit 3" or "telinit 5" afterwards), and if we had a configured iface managed by NetworkManager, it stops working:

/etc/net/ifaces/eth0/options is created:

# cat /etc/net/ifaces/eth0/options 
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DHCP_ARGS=-p
# 

this passes the management of this interface from NetworkManager to etcnet, but due to:

# fgrep DISABLED /etc/net/ifaces/default/options-eth 
DISABLED=yes
# 

etcnet doesn't consider it as an iface managed by etcnet. So, "ifup eth0", "service network restart", "service NetworkManager restart" give no result.


One workaround, after you understood this, is to append:

echo DISABLED=no >> /etc/net/ifaces/eth0/option

and manage it through etcnet (Can this be done by the script from this package? as a solution for this problem.), or to remove this newly created /etc/net/ifaces/eth0/ and return to the default situation.
