Description Paul W. Frields 2016-04-13 19:16:47 UTC
Fedora 24 pre-release; NetworkManager-1.2.0-0.8.rc1.fc24.x86_64 -- System is connected to a router via Ethernet cable, using static DHCP for addressing. At the time, system was also running a VPN connection over wired connection. Router was reset (powered off and on), but after this the wired connection is not restored, although the GNOME Shell icon for wired connection appears as if it was.

Comment 3 Beniamino Galvani 2016-04-14 09:46:08 UTC
Do you remember (or have the chance to find out) if after the failed
reconnection attempt the interface had IPv6 addresses and route
configured?

Because it seems that NM correctly restarts DHCPv4 after link goes up
at 11:32:24 and, after a second, also starts DHCPv6 (presumably
because a router advertisement was received). But DHCP servers are not
available yet (since the router is still booting?) and so IPv4
configuration fails; which doesn't cause the failure of connection
because ipv4.may-fail is set to yes and IPv6 auto-configuration
succeeded.

But in normal logs there isn't enough information to verify if this is
what really happened. Could you set level=DEBUG in the [logging]
section of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf, restart the
service, reproduce the issue and attach new logs? Thanks!

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2017-07-25 20:33:03 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '24'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 5 Fedora End Of Life 2017-08-08 14:14:43 UTC
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
