nmcli: Can't set device to "managed"
by berndbausch from LinuxQuestions.org on (#586CB)
I have just installed Debian Buster on a workstation and have the time of my life configuring the network. The installation comes with NetworkManager by default. I want to run VMs on it and need a bridge that includes the NIC named eno1. For now, I would be happy to just connect eno1 to my network.
However, nmcli refuses to manage the interface.
Code:$ nmcli device
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
eno1 ethernet unmanaged --
lo loopback unmanaged --
$ sudo nmcli dev set eno1 managed yes
$ nmcli device
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
eno1 ethernet unmanaged --
lo loopback unmanaged --In /var/log/syslog, the following is printed:
Code:NetworkManager[600]: <info> [1600257554.8363] audit: op="device-managed" arg="managed" pid=1662 uid=0 result="success"Rebooting doesn't help.
Any suggestions where to look for more information and how to fix this?
