Public bug reported:
Hi all!
I have upgraded from hardy to intrepid, i saw there that the old network-admin
has been replaced by nm-connection-editor, which obviously has some serious
flaws:
first of all i get no network applet in the menu bar so i cannot pick a network
there allthough iwlist scan shows them.
so i have to MANUALLY add a wifi connection in nm-connection-editor, after that
i have the applet and in it i see all of the surrounding nets.
but then all of a sudden i can ONLY connect with the wifi connection as all of
a sudden the wired connection does not recognize any nameservers anymore unless
i MANUALLY add them to a completely empty /etc/resolv.conf.
i have to directly add them to /etc/resolv.conf as i get an error in
nm-connection-editor when attempting to add a second nameserver that it is
being executed read only.
and there is no unlock button anywhere in sight as in network-admin.
my wired connection has static settings and wifi is dhcp.
further if i execute nm-connection-editor from a shell with sudo (i was
hoping to so circumvent the read only problem) i see the following
errors in the shell:
** (nm-connection-editor:17762): WARNING **: No connections defined
(nm-connection-editor:17762): Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an
adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated
and when trying to edit the namesservers in the nm-connection-editor i
get this for every single character that i type:
** (nm-connection-editor:17762): WARNING **: Invalid setting IPv4
Settings
and then after clicking ok comes a error message window stating:
updating connection failed: nm-ifupdown-connection.c.82 - updating connection
not supported (read only)
i consider this to be major bugs so please be so kind and fix this asap!
thanlks in advance!
