Hmm.. OK. So I assume those connections would normally (not using the netplan integration) be created in /run/NetworkManager/system- connections/...?
So I think we need to find a way to detect NMS_KEYFILE_STORAGE_TYPE_RUN, or respectively ignore any connections that are not of NMS_KEYFILE_STORAGE_TYPE_ETC, but that data is not directly available in the nms-keyfile-writer.c code. So it needs some more digging. ** Tags added: netplan-nm ** Tags removed: netplan-nm ** Tags added: nm-netplan -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1998207 Title: netplan network-manager plugin tries to save temporary connections Status in netplan: Triaged Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When creating an OpenVPN connection, a temporal connection called tunN is created.
