Description flux 2017-04-21 11:33:27 UTC
after upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04 from 16.10 I cannot save changes I make in the wi-fi settings because the save button is greyed out. If I create a new wi-fi entry then it works but it doesn't for all my old wi-fi entries. Changing the settings is only possible using 'nm-cli con modify'

And for all my old vpn entries the passwords aren't show at all. They are present because I can connect to a vpn server but the password isn't shown in the text field

old package that worked -  network-manager 1.2.6-0ubuntu1
new package that doesn't - network-manager 1.4.4-1ubuntu3

they told my to file this upstream - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1684967

what does the tooltip on the "Save" button say?
Comment 2 flux 2017-04-21 11:54:29 UTC
there's a tooltip, huh
ok, the tooltip said that the content of the Cloned Mac text field is incorrect. There's indeed the word 'permanent' there for all network connections added. If I remove that word the Save button becomes active and I can save. But if I open the same entry for editing again the the 'permanent' is there again! So I cannot permanently remove 'permanent'
Comment 3 Thomas Haller 2017-04-21 12:52:06 UTC
probably fixed upstream by https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/commit/?id=2a960d3936d78087d74ba556df8ac808639c96a0

Please reopen if this doesn't fix the bug.
