[SOLVED] How do I get NetworkManager to coexist with rc.inet1

atelszewski · 09-19-2015, 09:53 AM

Hi,

For reference:

Code:

$ cat NetworkManager.conf 
# /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
#
# See NetworkManager.conf(5) for more information on this file

[main]
plugins=keyfile
dhcp=dhcpcd

[keyfile]
hostname=olab

Code:

cat system-connections/BT-NET 
[connection]
id=BT-NET
uuid=cfcb6166-32c3-4ce2-a617-98b1c59d0c26
type=802-11-wireless
timestamp=1441585716

[802-11-wireless]
ssid=BT-NET
mode=infrastructure
bssid=00:1D:AA:AF:25:D0
seen-bssids=00:1D:AA:AF:25:D0;
security=802-11-wireless-security

[802-11-wireless-security]
key-mgmt=wpa-psk
psk=your_password

[ipv4]
method=auto
may-fail=false

[ipv6]
method=ignore

Finally! NM is working as intended at boot. I didn't recall KDE wallet popping up asking to be configured. I got the wallet wizard after logging into the DE. I disabled KDE wallet via KWalletManager following instructions here, rebooted and wireless interface is up.

Thank you all for your input. Especially kikinovak for pointing out that I cannot use both rc.inet1.conf and NM. And Andrzej for confirming the NM can do what I wanted and just "works".

Shouldn't be

chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

instead of cleaning rc.inet1.conf ?

Nope, /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 is also responsible for setting up loopback.

That clears things up even further.

My rc.inet1.conf has been the same since I installed Slack 13.1 on this machine and it got along find with wcid. How things have changed in the GUI centric world.
