Description Marek Greško 2013-09-30 18:59:28 UTC

Description of problem:
When using network.service instead of NetworkManager and setup persistent pppoe connection it is not possible to start Login service when the connection is not available and thus it is not possible to login to the machine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-9.47-1.fc19.x86_64

How reproducible:
When pppoe connection is not available.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable NetworkManager service.
2. Enable network service.
3. Setup network devices including at least one pppoe connection.
4. Make the connection not available by unplugging DSL cable from bridge.

Actual results:
You do not get login screen, only systemd reporting the network service is restarting and cannot start login service.

Expected results:
The pppoe daemon starts on background and network service finishes successfully to make machina available for logging in althought without internet connection.

Can you please attach here output of journal? http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/

Sorry, I am unable to reproduce. Maybe my assumption that it is related to pppoe connection was false. I cannot find anything useful in the logs.

As I remember after boot it was not possible to start Login service (probably due to dependencies) and network service was restarting. It was reproducable after reboot. Then I turned off DSL router (in bridge mode), then turned on and after reboot everything worked.

Now I tried to disconnect DSL cable, reboot, but everything works.

I can see nothing related to network service in journal:

Ok, so closing this bug as it is not reproducible, but I think that there might be something related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=983688.
