eth0 does not get IP

[bsdtux]

Hello funtoo forum, I seem to be having problems with post installation networking. I followed the funtoo installation guide using the debian-sources and universal kernel. I installed NetworkManager and added both networkmanager and dhcpcd default. However I do not get an IP address.

 

I am running this as a virtual machine using virtualbox.

 

nmcli dev status
DEVICE              TYPE                         STATE
eth0                    802-3-ethernet          disconnected
 
nmcli con status
NAME                                UUID                                                                   TYPE                        TIMESTAMP-REAL
Wired connection 1            de1f1889-7e2b-4004-931d-350ba2a42d8b        802-3-ethernet         Mon 03 Nov 2014 08:21:47 AM CST

 

 

dmesg | grep eth0
[ 6.158591] e1000 0000:00:03.0 eth0: (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 08:00:27:36:2b:0f
[ 6.158596] e1000 0000:00:03.0 eth0: Intel (R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
[ 11.518245] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready
[ 11.520493] e1000: eth0 NIC Link is up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX
[ 11.520773] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready

 

can someone please help me figure out what I may have done wrong or might need to add to correct this. I am leaning to the face that I see IPv6 and not IPv4 as being the main culprit here but I could be wrong.

assuming your eth0 getting IP with DHCP, you can't run NetworkManager and dhcpcd simultaneously. Please, disable either one, and see if it solved.

Wow I am so sorry I just realized I was in the wrong thread when posting this. Could a moderator please move this.

Many Thanks oleg that did it. I always thought that NetworkManager still used dhcpcd to obtain the ip.

yes, NetworkManager calls dhcpcd on it's own,  so you can't run both at the same time
