[DNG] eudev-related problems after Beowulf upgrade

2020-06-12 Thread David Kuehling via Dng
Hi, I upgraded three machines from Devuan ascii to Devuan beowulf. Now one of these machines has non-deterministic problems during startup that look like being related to eudev. As that machine was originally derived by cloning the hard-disk of another machine that works fine, I suspect this

Hi, just noticed that in Devuan after doing "Suspend" from the XFCE menu bar, my primary network interface is reconfigured with a new IP-Address retrieved via DHCP. DHCP server logs confirm that. However, I have *not* configured any interface to use DHCP! All my interfaces use "static"
