New login prompt after update?

I just ran ‘zypper up’ and after rebooting (my system boots in runlevel 3) I see the login prompt looks like:

<eth_adapter_name>: <LAN IP address>
<hostname> login:

So far it has always looked like

<hostname> login:

If I disconnect the network cable the <LAN IP address> disappears. I am using Network manager in case this matters.

Why did this happen? Where are the settings for controlling this? Is there a way to remove the new first line?

“Me too”.
I see this behavior too. In my case I get two entries, one for every network adapter (LAN and WLAN).

I checked the zypper history of the last two day, but I don’t see any prime suspect.

Reason, albeit rather brief, is given in this thread. https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/523674-Network-interfaces-names-displayeed-between-issue-text-and-login-prompt

Interesting. So a simple “systemctl disable issue-generator.service” should stop this.

No. It is generated by udev rules.

I see. And when I try to uninstall the package:

linux-8p7c:/etc # LANG=en zypper rm issue-generator
