  • KDE thinks eth1 exists (xsession-errors)

    From Ar@21:1/5 to All on Sun May 14 18:28:06 2017
    Using Mageia5 x64 version, KDE.

    In the file .xsession-errors, it fills up quite a lot with the following:

    eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
    eth1: error fetching interface information: Device not found
    eth1 No such device


    Correct, there is no eth1, as confirmed by running as root
    ifconfig -a

    So where is KDE getting this nonsense from to fill xsession-errors?

    .xsession-errors isn't specific to KDE but rather to X11.

    Considering that you're running Mageia 5, I would advise you to bring
    this up in alt.os.linux.mageia, because it's quite evidently a bug in
    their implementation of X.Org, and related to the abomination named
    "systemd". ;)
