So to install "klipper is just a program" you run some scripts that 
overwrite /etc/network/interfaces and you blame NetworkManager and some 
other stuff instead.

Good luck in your attempts to find pieces of your "3d" network 
configurator in cron tasks, all kinds of init scripts, and systemd 
units. It is completely unrelated to Debian.

This case 169.254.x.y IPv4LL addresses is a manifestation of another 
trouble. These addresses can coexist with 192.168.x.y addresses. Do not 
concentrate on link local addresses.

Then you are incompatible with software you are trying to run. Your options:
- do not allow scripts coming with klipper or its installer to touch 
network configuration
- setup a DHCP server in your network and provide to 3d wizards 
environment they expect.

The classic NIH syndrome, advertized even.

If you would bother to read what I posted, you would have seen that 
networkmangler claimed credit for that overwritten /e/n/i file.

Again, Max, its your way or the hiway. I'd be willing to guess that my 
network experience goes back at least a decade before your first class 
in cs 101. /etc/hosts files worked in 1990 then as now, we just have to 
get the dhcp crap out of the way.  And you and your insistence on using 
dhcp which has never given me a stable address are definitely NOT helping.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

Klipper runs on OctoPi, a customized Linux distribution.  As installed
it is set up to use DHCP.  You can either install a DHCP server on your
network and it will just work, or you can figure out how to modify
OctoPi to do things your way.  You seem to be banging your head against
a wall trying to do the latter.

BTW my network experience goes back to bang paths.  I'm currently using
both hosts files and DHCP.

klipper runs on anything armhf or better. OctoPi isn't even on the 
property here.  It only has one address, USB-like from the output of 
/dev/serial/by-id. Not supported by every controller card maker, but if 
present, that is a unique string derived from chipid which the stm 
family of micro's supports. klipper is actually two parts, the 
controller is reflashed, and the rest of it runs on the pi clone. 
Mostly python, the housekeeping might run on wintel for all I know.

I'm not surprised John, I've seen your name here and there for decades.

OT:
We had some of the bang paths at WDTV, where I was the CE from 1984 to 
mid 2002. Then we bought a block of 16 addresses. We had a web page 
online to dialup folks, served by am amiga, writing the code in ARexx 
long before PHP came out, months before any other tv station in the 
country had a web page.  I wrote much of that ARexx. A do anything 
language that had hooks into everything in amigados.

Bill Hawes, who wrote ARexx was stiffed by commode door, making less 
than 500$ from sales of the language book he sold himself.  We were 
upset that a very talented coder was screwed so badly and I don't think 
he ever wrote another byte for free, but he had an empty account on vger 
for a long time.

One thing amigados never had was a cron, so Jim Hines and I wrote EZCron 
which we published on an amigados list. Instant world wide use.  Fun and 
games and fond memories from 30+ years ago.

/OT:

Take care and stay well John.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.

 In addition to legacy use, in 2021 new and innovative UUCP uses are
 growing, especially for telecommunications in the HF band, for example,
 for communities in the Amazon rainforest for email exchange and other
 uses. A patch to Ian's UUCP was contributed to UUCP Debian Linux
 package[17] to adapt for the HERMES (High-Frequency Emergency and Rural
 Multimedia Exchange System) project, which provides UUCP HF
 connectivity.[18]
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUCP

It's experiencing a comeback, it seems!

Oh, oh... my first "Internet" (not in the sense of IP, obviously!) connection
was via UUCP. Mail and Usenet. 14.4K modem. Ftpmail to "download" stuff.

Then, please, explain clearly what is "networkmangler", what is

I am not familiar with QIDI, kiauth.sh, and similar 3rd party stuff.

What I see in your messages are false claims, e.g. that DHCP addresses 
are unstable. DHCP servers *may* be configured to assign fixed addresses

=NetworkManager overwrites /etc/network/interfaces. Sheesh, part of the 
"slang-guage" for decades.

MetworkManager has well earned that alias. I have made it a habit to 
remove the x attribute of that headache.  Funny thing, even as far back 
as wheezy, absolutely nothing had the chutzpah to log it wasn't 
executable. Its gradually been made remove-able but early on removing it 
tore down the system to where it could only be re-installed from the 
install cd's. It was a solution to a problem we never had unless you 
were carrying a lappy into ever library on the planet.

My ISP does that, so my exterior net address has been stable for over a 
decade, but I've tried it 2-3 times in the 2000's and got unstable 
addresses from  the distro versions of dhcp every time.

My ISP gives the router a stable address because its linked to the MAC 
of the router, so while I have 2 interchangeable routers, the backup has 
cloned its MAC to match, so my net cost to run a web page on this 
machine is the namecheap 5 year fee of $20 the last time I paid it.  But 
the whole, several gigabyte page was lost a year ago when two quite new, 
2T seagates went tits down in the night within 2 days of each other, one 
was my boot drive, the other vtapes from Amanda. That was the last straw 
and today 8 machines here have only 2 spinning rust drives remaining.

They will be replaced with SSD's when I bring those buster machines up 
to bookworm or Trixie.

Your router just renews its lease within the renewal window. If you had
no power for a week, then your router would lose its lease, and the IP
address would change. That is -- no, your ISP does not reserve your IP
address at all.

Likewise, a Debian box running isc-dhcp-server (or any of the other
myriad of options) will hand out the same address to the same machine
forever, provided that machine asks to renew before the lease expires.

Note that if we're talking about devices that leave your network, this
somewhat goes out the window; because if they happened to join a remote
network that happens to share the same subnet, AND that network tells
them to use a different IP address (e.g. home was 192.168.1.100,
starbucks told your laptop '100' wasn't available), then the laptop MAY
request the IP address Starbucks gave when you get back home.

I asked it because earlier you posted

> -bash: nmcli: command not found 

so I have to repeat it. You *do* *not* have NetworkManager installed 
hence it can not overwrite files.

What particular *evidences* do you have that namely NetworkManager 
overwrites /etc/network/interfaces? I am not interested in you 
*speculations*.

In a previous episode you blamed NetworkManager in breaking of 
/etc/resolv.conf. Actually it was you who put incorrect info into 
NetworkManager configuration:

I do not know the mechanism by which my addition and deletions were done 
during boot, I had added the correct data to put eth0 at 192.168.71.100 
in /e/n/i, and had deleted the line saying it was managed by 
networkmanager. The evidence I have is that the original file was 
restored, has only lo and the line giving credit to networkmanager was 
restored, my additions were gone. Based on the evidence I can see, what 
else am I supposed to think? Maybe something in armbian-config overwrote 
it. IDK, but thats the clues I have. But I have NOT found ambian-config yet.

What you showed us above, where you tried to run nmcli, was perfect.
It contains your shell prompt (which tells us your username and hostname
and current working directory), the command you ran, and its output.
Hell, we even learned you're in a bash login shell, which is not
immediately relevant, but is a nice detail to have.

What we need is more of that.

    ls -ld /etc/network/interfaces

would be an excellent starting point.  It would tell us whether your /e/n/i
is a regular file or a symbolic link.  If it's a regular file, we would
get the last modified time, so we'd know *when* it was altered, if your
system clock is accurate (which it might not be, given the thread's
original subject).

The mtime might not be useful to us, but it might be more useful to *you*,
as you might know what time the system clock had the last time you ran
that 'kiauh' script or whatever it was.  Maybe that's what undoes your
changes?

If it turns out the modification took place in the wee hours of the
morning, then it's more likely a cron job or systemd timer kicks off
the process that undoes the changes.

If /e/n/i turns out to be a symbolic link on your system, then its
target may give us some hints about which program is messing with it.

The clock is apparently restarted from midnight 12/1/2022 at every 
reboot. And I don't know if the rockchip64 has a clock. Most of the pi's 
don't.  Since this is 12/1/2023, saying it about a year out of date is a 
pretty accurate statement.

This overwrite was done that way as soon as I could login at the old 
address with ssh so I have to say it was done by network start time in 
the bootup from a 10 second power down.

All right, then.  Let's see if I have everything straight.

At some point in the recent past, you edited /e/n/i.  Then you rebooted,
an undetermined amount of time later, and after the reboot, the file had
been restored to the state shown above.  Yes?

If we assume the file wasn't changed *prior* to the reboot, then something
in the operating system startup must be overwriting this file.

If your assertion about the clock being set to 2022-12-01 each boot is
correct, then the timestamp on the file is *not* coming from the system
clock.  It's probably coming from whatever "gold copy" of the file is
being restored during startup.

There are *lots* of ways a file could be copied and retain the mtime of
the original file.  "cp -a" is one of them.

unicorn:~$ cp -a .bashrc copy-of-bashrc; ls -lad .bashrc copy-of-bashrc; date
-rwxr-xr-x 1 greg greg 3329 Nov 12 08:28 .bashrc*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 greg greg 3329 Nov 12 08:28 copy-of-bashrc*
Fri Dec  1 17:05:52 EST 2023
unicorn:~$ 

Of course there are many others.  Extracting a .tar.gz archive, for
example, is another way to do it.

You could look through the system startup stuff, wherever that is on
this operating system, and see if you find anything about restoring
factory default configuration files.

If you can't find it, the people who support this operating system might
be able to tell you exactly what's happening, and why.  You really ought
to talk to them.

As a side note, copying a "gold standard" /e/n/i file which happens to
contain a comment *saying* that it's from Network Manager would retain
that comment, possibly leading to some confusion.  One might argue that
the OS vendor should have replaced the comment with something more
accurate. (E.g. "This interfaces file is copied from ____ to /etc/network
at boot time. Do not edit this file in /etc/network. If you need to
modify it, edit it in ____ instead, but you do so at your own risk.")
That's another thing you could talk to the OS support people about,
assuming my guesswork holds up.

***********

Now let's talk about NTP.  Originally you asked about installing and
configuring an NTP service on this printer.  And you had some concerns
because you didn't know how to assign a static IP address to it.

However, you've stated a few times now that you *are* able to ssh into
it, from some other host on your network.

The fact that you can ssh into it means that it's got a working IP
address (either v4 or v6), and that your ssh client is able to determine
that IP address and connect to it.  So, either it's already got a static
address, or your ssh client configuration is very clever, and knows
how to determine the printer's dynamic address.

In either case, the static-ness or dynamic-ness of the address is much
less important than the fact that the address *works*.  You are able
to communicate with the printer, using your network.

This means the printer should be able to communicate *back*, and
specifically, it should be able to contact an NTP server on your network
to synchronize its system clock.

So all you should have to do is:

1) Determine which host on your network will act as your NTP server.  Get
   an NTP package installed and running on that host, and configure it
   to allow connections from your LAN.  You may select more than one if
   you like.

2) Make sure the NTP server(s) are getting their time synced correctly,
   most likely from public NTP sources on the Internet.

3) Install an NTP package on the printer, and configure it to use your
   designated local NTP server(s).

4) Ensure that the NTP services all start at boot time, and don't get
   their configuration files overwritten or anything like that.

If some part of this doesn't work, then please report the exact nature
of the failure, with details (commands and their output).  Example
commands that would be useful in debugging might include:

    date
    ntpq -p
    systemctl status ntp    # or some sysv-rc equivalent
    ls -ld /etc/ntp.conf
    cat /etc/ntp.conf
    journalctl -u ntp       # if it's systemd-based; otherwise:
    grep ntpd /var/log/syslog | tail -n20

You get the idea, I hope.  Your logs might be in some other location.
Find them.  Read them.

My guest is that a 169.254.x.y address allows to connect from other 
hosts that belongs to the same network segment, but the router discards 
outgoing packets instead of applying masquerading rules. Or the host 
does not send non-local packets because it does not know a router and no 
hosts respond to ARP requests.

Having IPv4LL addresses, it is possible to connect to other hosts 
withing the same subnet using multicast mDNS (name.local) or LLMNR name 
resolution.

Actually having a spare ethernet port or a WiFi card that supports hot 
spot mode, it is possible to create a subnet for this 3d printer. 
NetworkManager allows to create a "shared" connection with a few clicks. 
It launches dnsmasq as DNS and DHCP server. The only downside is NAT, so 
ssh to the printer will require to connect the host sharing network. 
However it will solve the NTP issue.

The only problem is that neither upstream sources nor debian patches in 
buster or bookworm contain the "Network is managed" text as in (from an 
earlier message):

> source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*

So ask the 3d printer vendor why you see this misleading line and why 
ifupdown and NetworkManager are broken.

I had a hope that you would at least check list of processes, systemd 
units, init scripts for something suspicious. Instead I still see 
speculations again and attempts to blame NetworkManager developers for 
no reason.

Have you tried some online translator to guess meaning of the following?

1. There is nothing in Debian that ever overwrites the
   /etc/network/interfaces file. But you aren't running Debian on
   this machine, so we are all having difficulty helping you.
   Because this is DEBIAN-user.

2. All you've described is a line in a file which says, "Network is
   managed by NetworkManager". There is NO indication WHICH piece of
   software put that line there, it really could be anything.
   Because you aren't running Debian. Since NetworkManager can be
   set up to run arbitrary commands, it certainly COULD be YOUR
   setup of NetworkManager. Or something else entirely different.
   It's nothing in Debian, though.

This like some sort of farce.

You have an operating system hard-coded to use DHCP, but you won't
use DHCP, so it doesn't work. You can't work out how to make it not
want DHCP; you won't ask the people who made it how; instead you ask
us completely uninvolved folks how to do it. When we tell you to
configure it for static networking you say you can't because it
wants DHCP. When we say use DHCP then, you say, "oh I see it's your
way or the hiway, I'll have you know I was crafting IP packets from
raw bean sprouts before you kids ever drew breath!"

So would I be correct in saying that you want US to work out how to
do this thing in software we don't use and that's off-topic here,
and that's the only answer you'll accept?

Or have I misunderstood and there is some other direction you would
like to go with this?

Thanks,
Andy

Gene,

Please do us *all* a favour to try and help you.

Write us out a list of all your machines - and if a printer has an
embedded SBC, it's a machine in this context - and the OS and versions
they are running.

List the functions you want each to have.

As others have noted, it's REALLY hard to work out what you're doing.

If machines and printers expect DHCP, then you're going to have to
amend files. Do back up the files you change.

As ever, our collective expertise here is primarily Debian - we have no
clue what a derived distribution may or may not do.

"Su and say" is not great: running third party scripts on non-Debian systems
and you get to keep both pieces unless you undersand what kiauh and Klipper
are doing, be careful.

It does seem to be a problem on this list that we can't always get
clear explanations of what has *actually* been done.

I'm well aware of that Andy, but TBH, this list may be the deepest pool 
of knowledgeable people on the planet, most of my machines are running 
debian. Those that are running buster have been stuck as the switch to 
python 3 with bullseye broke linuxcnc.  Thats now been fixed and has 
been for a while but I've had my own projects that took priority.  There 
will not be any spinning rust here when I do update to bookworm or trixie.

There is also an overtone of NIH here. These programs are tools and one 
does his (or her) best thinking well outside the box at times.

They never have, they just use it. And I've used up my patience in 
explaining that and being mostly ignored.

That list of machines is long Andy, and possibly boring.

1. The 2nd machine I converted, affectionately known as tlm.coyote.den, 
( The Little Monster ), a 7x12 lathe running buster with a real time 
kernel and linuxcnc, all uptdate. uname -a=
Linux TLM 4.19.0-25-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.289-2
(2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Running on an off-lease Dell Optiplex computer.

2. A 4 axis mill sold by grizzly as the G0704 running on another 
off-lease Dell, named go704, using an uptodate buster, uname -a=
Linux GO704 4.19.0-25-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.289-2 
(2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
also using linuxcnc.

3. Another 4 axis gantry style mill sold as the 6040, also running 
buster with a rt kernel and linuxcnc on another off-lease Dell. uname -a=
Linux sixty40 4.19.0-25-rt-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT RT Debian 4.19.289-2 
(2023-08-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux

4. Another lathe, a bigger Sheldon from the mid WW-II time, running on a 
raspberry pi 4b, bookworm, uname -a=
Linux rpi4.coyote.den 6.1.54-rt15 #1 SMP PREEMPT_RT Wed Sep 20 20:36:44 
AEST 2023 aarch64 GNU/Linux
and linuxcnc=LinuxCNC/AXIS version 2.10.0~pre0

All of the above linuxcnc versions are the current master from the 
linuxcnc.org's buildbot, updated several times a week as I play the 
canary in a coal mine part looking for showstopper bugs. #4 above was 
the first on the planet to run linuxcnc on a pi.  I did it just to see 
if I could.  The whole shebang w/o the lathe power, draws 20 watts 
including the monitor, those Dell's are power pigs at 300 watts counting 
the monitors.

#5, and currently offline being rebuilt, is a 3d printer, a creality 
Ender 5 Plus, already has a bananapi-m5 running an arm64 armbian jammy, 
a BTT octopus  controller. Stepper/servo's on x&y. is already running 
the klipper suite of tools.

#6, a tronxy-400 3d printer with similar state and configuration except 
it a corexy design.

#7, a two trees Sapphire 5, after the 3rd controller died, is slowly 
being rebuilt with the same BTT card and klipper, and is a corexy design.

#8 is this problem child, unknown controller, some sort of a rockchip 
board running armbian 64 buster and klippers suite of tools. uname -a=
Linux mkspi 5.16.20-rockchip64 #trunk SMP PREEMPT Mon Jul 25 01:58:45 
UTC 2022 aarch64 GNU/Linux. A corexy design.

There will probably be more of #8, its doing a great job. Faster by x4 
than any of the others did stock. If I don't miss roll call first. 
Still have about 5 or 6 years left in the pacemakers battery.

Like I said, boring.

Take care and stay well Andy.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
