Description Forgotten User ug5KptN0Fs 2013-10-31 16:31:44 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/30.0.1599.101 Safari/537.36

After performing a standard installation (all values as default) using the GNOME Live Image for RC2, when I boot to the new installation and try to access GNOME's network settings it is displayed a message that says "The system network services are not compatible with this version". No "wired" connection for eth0 is shown on the network settings component, whereas it was shown in the Live Session. Then, if I try to open a terminal and run "sudo systemcl start network.service", it fails with the following information:

danilo@linux-ehe5:~> sudo systemctl status network.service -l

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the GNOME Live Image for RC2
2. Run the LiveInstaller and perform a standard installation
3. Reboot the machine and boot to the new installation
4. Open GNOME's settings and click on "Network"
Actual Results:  
The message "The system network services are not compatible with this version" is displayed and the system has no network connectivity.

Expected Results:  
There should be listed an entry for a "wired" connection using eth0 and there should be network connectivity.

Did you install on a desktop or notebook?
Generally, on a Destop machine, yast defaults to 'ifup' (traditional) Network Management, whereas on a notebook it defaults to NetworkManager.

gnome-shell only interacts with Network Manager.

Please verify in Yast / Network Settings / Global Options
If this is set to 'Traditional Method with ifup', then this is the expected behavior.

This version of openSUSE changed to end-of-life (EOL [1]) status. As such
it is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any
further security or bug fix updates.
As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
openSUSE, or consider the bug still valid, please feel free to reopen this
bug against that version, or open a new ticket.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed
during the lifetime of the release.
