Hi everyone,

I recently upgraded my SLED 12 SP3 VM, it had a fixed IP address controlled by Wicked. After upgrading, network wouldn’t start. I had to shutdown NM manually; I tried to change network configuration in YaST with no effect, until I removed NM packages altogether.

Greetings,

Hi and welcome to the Forum 🙂  
Did you check in YaST Network Settings on the global tab that wicked service was selected? Else just disabling the systemd network manager service should have sufficed.
