opensuse network management undefined - networking

I did an update on my opensuse box and networking stopped working. The system is trying to use networkmanager, even though it isn't installed. I am using yast to try and get it to use ifup, but it complains about no network connection. I tried running:
ifup eth0
and I get back:
Network is managed by '' -> skipping
Does anyone out there know why it is coming back empty and if there is a config file that I can manually tweak to fix this?

I'm assuming you are running 12.3 or 13.1 with systemd.
Disable network manager if it exists:
systemctl disable networkmanager.service
Enable network.service:
systemctl enable network.service
Make sure ifcfg-eth0 exists with a configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network/
Run ifup eth0

Hope this will help someone.
1. Disable NetworkManager, Stop is and then enable it and restart it respectively.
2. All this happens in console. Check the status for NetworkManager and in the status messages it should show that the interface(wierless) is disconnected. Confirm this by typing command "sudo nmcli c"
3. Type command "sudo iwlist (wireless-interface) scan" to show you the available wireless networks
4. If you see the network that you want to connect to listed, type command "nmcli a" and enter the corresponding connect phrase/password to connect

VPN killswitch using UFW, but now openvpn3 no longer can start automatically

I successfully implemented this, which blocks all internet connections on my Linux machine UNLESS it connects via a specific VPN :
https://www.comparitech.com/blog/vpn-privacy/how-to-make-a-vpn-kill-switch-in-linux-with-ufw/
If I manually execute openvpn3 session-start --config ~/Desktop/config.ovpn, it successfully connects via the VPN.
I used to have this command in a script (that has #!/bin/bash as header) which ran at device bootup without any issues, UNTIL I configured ufw for the killswitch above (now ufw runs on device bootup).
I use openvpn3 so using instructions in the above tutorial for openvpn commands didn't work at all.
I even tried using a sleep in my bash script to get it to wait a while until after bootup. Doesn't work. But if I issue the connection command manually in the command prompt, it works.
Please help! I need it to connect automatically. Much appreciated!
After spending a whole day on this, I figured out a solution. I found an article that guided me : https://www.howtogeek.com/687970/how-to-run-a-linux-program-at-startup-with-systemd/
I set up a service item using systemd (systemctl) just for that command to connect. Here is what my entry looks like :
#/etc/systemd/system/connectvpn.service
[Unit]
Description=Connect VPN
After=ufw.service network.target
Requires=ufw.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/connect
#/usr/local/bin/connect
#!/bin/bash
openvpn3 session-start --config /home/xyz/Desktop/config.ovpn
Working nicely now, connects to the VPN on bootup.

Mosquitto: Starting in local only mode

I have a virtual machine that is supposed to be the host, which can receive and send data. The first picture is the error that I'm getting on my main machine (from which I'm trying to send data from). The second picture is the mosquitto log on my virtual machine. Also I'm using the default config, which as far as I know can't cause these problems, at least from what I have seen from other examples. I have very little understanding on how all of this works, so any help is appreciated.
What I have tried on the host machine:
Disabling Windows defender
Adding firewall rules for "mosquitto.exe"
Installing mosquitto on a linux machine
Starting with the release of Mosquitto version 2.0.0 (you are running v2.0.2) the default config will only bind to localhost as a move to a more secure default posture.
If you want to be able to access the broker from other machines you will need to explicitly edit the config files to either add a new listener that binds to the external IP address (or 0.0.0.0) or add a bind entry for the default listener.
By default it will also only allow anonymous connections (without username/password) from localhost, to allow anonymous from remote add:
allow_anonymous true
More details can be found in the 2.0 release notes here
You have to run with
mosquitto -c mosquitto.conf
mosquitto.conf, which exists in the folder same with execution file exists (C:\Program Files\mosquitto etc.), have to include following line.
listener 1883 ip_address_of_the_machine(192.168.1.1 etc.)
By default, the Mosquitto broker will only accept connections from clients on the local machine (the server hosting the broker).
Therefore, a custom configuration needs to be used with your instance of Mosquitto in order to accept connections from remote clients.
On your Windows machine, run a text editor as administrator and paste the following text:
listener 1883
allow_anonymous true
This creates a listener on port 1883 and allows anonymous connections. By default the number of connections is infinite. Save the file to "C:\Program Files\Mosquitto" using a file name with the ".conf" extension such as "your_conf_file.conf".
Open a terminal window and navigate to the mosquitto directory. Run the following command:
mosquitto -v -c your_conf_file.conf
where
-c : specify the broker config file.
-v : verbose mode - enable all logging types. This overrides
any logging options given in the config file.
I found I had to add, not only bind_address ip_address but also had to set allow_anonymous true before devices could connect successfully to MQTT. Of course I understand that a better option would be to set user and password on each device. But that's a next step after everything actually works in the minimum configuration.
For those who use mosquitto with homebrew on Mac.
Adding these two lines to /opt/homebrew/Cellar/mosquitto/2.0.15/etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf fixed my issue.
allow_anonymous true
listener 1883
you can run it with the included 'no-auth' config file like so:
mosquitto -c /mosquitto-no-auth.conf
I had the same problem while running it inside docker container (generated with docker-compose).
In docker-compose.yml file this is done with:
command: mosquitto -c /mosquitto-no-auth.conf

Rabbitmq: Node down

I am getting node down error on rabbitmq, this is happening sometimes.
Able to see the below error when I execute: sudo rabbitmqctl status or sudo rabbitmqctl list_queues
Error: unable to connect to node : nodedown
connected to epmd (port 4369) on host-name
epmd reports node 'rabbit' running on port 25672
can't establish TCP connection, reason: timeout
suggestion: blocked by firewall?
version: {rabbit,"RabbitMQ","3.6.9"}
os: Ubuntu 16.04
I have checked hostname which is ok with me, not changed since the installation
Also able to telnet localhost 25672
What could be the reason behind this error and possible solution?
And one more question, I am checking node status using below API
curl -s GET http://edx:edx#127.0.0.1:15672/api/healthchecks/node/
Is above API ok or not to check the health status of the node? Please suggest if there is anything else. I have set up one shell script which will call this API and if status is not ok then it will restart rabbitmq-server service. Script is executed from cron every minute.
Looks like your rabbitmq node is... down. rabbitmqctl needs a running node to perform these commands.
If you're using systemd, you can check the service status:
service rabbitmq-server status
Or just try to restart the node:
rabbitmqctl start_app
Telnet on port 25672 tells you the rabbitmqctl is running, but RabbitMQ itself does not run on that port (by default, it's listening on 5672).

Openstack/Packstack Services

I am currently new with OpenStack/packstack, I have successfully installed it on Centos 7 (VM). But when I turn off and power on the VM again, I need to have to repeat the long installation process of packstack. I need to run this specific code packstack --answer-file 24.01.19.conf in order for me to access the Openstack Web Interface. I tried running openstack-service restart|start|stop|status but this causes an error "command not found". Any other way around to access the web interface without running the packstack --answer-file every time I start my VM? Thanks in advance
To use openstack-service, install "openstack-utils"
sudo yum install -y openstack-utils
This is happening because the IP address of controller node changes after reboot and if IP address changes you need to re-run the packstack.
My recommendation is to statically bind the IP address to the VM where the packstack is running.

managemnt tab in kaa sandbox URL

I created Kaa sandbox instance on the AWS Linux host. I am getting some of the issues
Still I am not able to see the management button on the kaa Sandbox console.
I am not able to connect AWS with using ssh. I followed all the required step to connect to AWS Linux host, but not lucky to connect.
My problem is that, I would like to change the host IP in the sandbox setting with my AWS linux host IP, so that my end point device gets connected to host,
Still I am struggling with above points. Please advise.
Regards,
Prasad
That seems to be an issue with the Kaa 0.10.0 Sandbox for AWS. We created a bug for tracking this.
For now, you can use the next workaround:
echo "sudo sed -Ei 's/(gui_change_host_enabled=).*$/\1true/'" \
"/usr/lib/kaa-sandbox/conf/sandbox-server.properties;" \
"sudo service kaa-sandbox restart" | \
ssh -i <your-private-aws-instance-key.pem> ubuntu#<your-aws-instance-host>
Note: this is a multi-line single command that works correctly in bash (should also work in sh and others, but that is not tested).
Note 2: don't forget to replace
<your-private-aws-instance-key.pem>
<your-aws-instance-host>
with the respective key name and host name/IP address.
