Just to reduce confusion for new readers . . .

There is Debian sid.

There is no Devuan sid.

There IS Devuan ceres.

Devuan ceres identifies, works around some and blacklists other systemd dependencies in Debian sid.

Have you checked the NM logs? I don't use it myself but I presume they're under /var/log/.

What is the network hardware & driver?

lspci -knn | grep -iA3 net

Why do you think you have different versions? I can only see v1.36.4-1devuan1 in your two (identical) posted links.

It may be problem with your nic or network manager. I have from time to time had issues using network manager with devuan and my nic being disabled/down for some reason. Has never happened on any other distro except for Devuan using network manager.

dmesg logs might also give more information once you have given the output of of head on a sticks command.

Yes! Apologize me for that)

why here NM different versions?

There's network-manager and then there's the network-manager-gnome applet which provides a graphical user interface on top of it.

I don't use network-manager anymore but from apt info on chimaera, I get this:

network-manager version

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.30.0-2+devuan1
Priority: optional
Origin: Devuan

and

network-manager-gnome version

Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 1.20.0-3
Priority: optional
Section: gnome
Source: network-manager-applet

As you can see, they're distinct. In fact, you can use network-manager without the applet. Or not use network-manager at all for that matter, but that's up to you.

Hope this helps.

How do you do that, exactly? Please post the exact command(s) used.

NetworkManager should ignore anything listed in /etc/network/interfaces anyway so you should be able to connect fine without it.

However the sid/ceres network-manager package doesn't supply an init script any more so it won't start automatically. Yay. See my thread in the "Freedom Hacks" [sic] section for a guide to generating and using a new init script.

hevidevi · 2022-04-02 09:54:26

@ head on a stick.

Network Manager in my experience (chimeara stable only) does not ignore /etc/network/interfaces, you have to comment all entries except for loopback otherwise network manager will not be able to connect to wifi or eth devices. As you can see OP has eth0 not commented, if they comment these out or delete from the file NM should auto connect?

Head_on_a_Stick · 2022-04-02 10:01:13

NM won't be able to auto connect because it won't be auto started. Debian have removed the init script for that package.

If the OP has /etc/network/interfaces configured correctly for eth0 then NM is just useless bloat anyway.

And once more for the OP:

I wrote:

Have you checked the NM logs?

Other logs are available :-)

hevidevi · 2022-04-02 10:05:01

My thoughts as well head on a stick. But OP is wanting to use network manager which is why i replied.

Head_on_a_Stick · 2022-04-02 10:13:47

The OP can try the old init script:

# curl -o /etc/init.d/network-manager https://salsa.debian.org/utopia-team/network-manager/-/raw/debian/buster/debian/network-manager.init
# update-rc.d network-manager defaults

Understood. Thanks for explain!)
