Bug I think: I’m using opensuse 11.0: I want to install apache webserver
php, found out that some package highly recommended not to use current
network setting with networkmanager.
Therefore I went into suse yast + network setting + global options:
instead of “user controlled with networkmanager” I chose “Traditional
method with ifup”. I click apply and then it says: “saving network
configuration” and at some moment it disconnect the network so it
doesn’t work (neither wired or wireless).
Then just afterwards it figures out that it can’t download the package
it needs for completing the “traditional ifup”-setting. It says:
"download failed, couldn’t resolve host ‘download.opensuse.org’. And OF
COURSE - 2 seconds ago, that stupid program itself turned off the
network…
Next, time, perhaps the stupid install program should download the
package(s) it needs before turning off network access!
Since it’s looking for the package on download.opensuse.org, I can’t do
anything. How to solve this problem?
Actually perhaps this is really a bug, should I report it in somewhere?

Thanks for the suggestion, but it is already enabled and still it wants
to use network connection… However, it was a good suggestion so I
disabled download/internet-repository and it installed from cdrom just
like it should, so thanks!
Okay, hmm. I don’t understand it. I enabled use of traditional way:
ifup/ifdown but that doesn’t work. I rebooted and had no network. I then
logged in as root at wrote:
ifup eth0
ifup eth1
But nothing worked…
Looks like I also got apache installed but when I wrote localhost in a
browser, I got: “protocol not supported”… How come?

ah, thanks a lot both of you. I should have figured out that myself
(missing paranthesis). Now it seems like everything works, thanks
again… I didn’t want to use ifup/ifdown since it seem to work anyway…
Seems to be a problem with the regular expression used to filter out links, reported it at the suggestions subforum.
Think moving the article would be worse to be honest, not to mention as it’s part of unicode, browsers shouldn’t have a problem with it… and if they do, call me intolerant but that’s a problem the user of the browser has to live with it for using either a browser not following webstandards or simply being ages behind on updates.

Guess you got that while not having the connection working and that works now as well. If not just put http::// infront of it (http://localhost) or use http://127.0.0.1.
