** Description changed: [Impact] The new Network manager has some extra options and this breaks the usage of many network connections. No new connection can be created or existing ones edited. [Testcase] + Before patch: + * Install Kubuntu 16.04 + * Connect to a network (connection being done automatically) + * Create a new VPN connection + * For example PPTP + * Type in gateway any string longer than one character + * Click ok + * Receive notification error «connection.gateway-ping-timeout: can not set property: value "18454592" of type 'guint' is invalid or out of range for property 'gateway-ping-timeout' of type 'guint'» + * notice connection is not created + * Create a new connection (wireless or wired) + * Change the IP to manual + * Save + * Receive noification error «same as above» + * Notice connection is not created + * Import a VPN connection + * Save + * Receive notification error «same as above» + * Notice connection is not created [Fix] In KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=362141 for this issue a fix is commited. This is released in KDE Frameworks 5.21. The patch can be cherry picked and applied to networkmanager-qt 5.18. [Original Description] I installed the recent updates in the Update Manager and after rebooting I wasn't able to connect to my wifi network anymore. It attempts to connect to the network and fails with the following error message: Failed to update connection [network name] connection.gateway-ping-timeout: can not set property: value "46730064" of type 'guint' is invalid or out of range for property 'gateway-ping-timeout' of type 'guint' I am able to use wired connection. 1. release: Description: Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch) Release: 16.04 2. network-manager version: network-manager: Installed: 1.1.93-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 1.1.93-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 1.1.93-0ubuntu3 500 500 http://il.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.
