Hi,
How does one set a fixed IP on a systemd profile running KDE.
Where does one save the config file for setting up a fixed IP and not use DHCP.
| Code: | # systemctl --type=service --state=running

Personally, I set static IP address in the router and then the clients use DHCP to get their address, which will be the same static IP every time.
It looks like you are using NetworkManager. Unless you are using a NetworkManager client in the desktop, like I do in KDE, you can use the nmcli command line utility to set up a static vs dynamic IP address.
| Code: | | nmcli connection help |
An example command from a quick online search:
| Code: | | sudo nmcli connection modify "Wired connection 1" ipv4.method manual ipv4.addresses "192.168.1.10/24" ipv4.gateway "192.168.1.1" |
You would set the connection from auto to manual and specify the IP addresses. The files that get modified from that command are in /etc . . . my wired connection for example:
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Wired connection 1.nmconnection
You may already know this but to be thorough:
Note that your router might also need to be configured to allow the static IP address assignment. |
