OpenSuse 13.1: Unable to switch back to traditional ifup method

OpenSuse 13.1 switched to NetworkManager mode. I don’t know why. Now I try to switch back to traditional ifup mode in YAST network config but it doesn’t save the settings! Does anyone know a way to switch back by terminal?

Regards, Sven

Just in case you haven’t.

When you launch “Network Settings” in YaST you need to select the left
most tab which is where the selection can be made.

Yes, but this is exactly my problem. YaST doesn’t save my choice. And know I have problems to bring my server online. That’s why I asked for a way by terminal.

On the terminal (CLI) use the ip command:



ip link set { dev DEVICE | group DEVGROUP }  { up | down } ]

ip link set dev eth0 up


Sub your actual device for dev. And



ip link help


is your friend.

Strange.

You could try uninstall network manager.

(from 13.1 x86_64 “Bottle” (Minas Tirith))

systemctl disable NetworkManager

It may be useful to show output of “systemctl status network” before doing it. May be it is already done and you have some other issues.

You can also type “yast” in a console (not yast2) and it should launch yast in ncurses mode (text mode) with the same ability to enable/disable Network Manager.
