Description Friedel Wolff 2016-01-21 07:05:22 CET

Description of problem:
I'm running GNOME 3. I have disabled net_applet and my connections are managed by NetworkManager. It is working reasonably well. However, the connections are not showing in the gnome control centre's networking section. There are only entries on the left for Bridge (docker0) and Network Proxy. When trying to add a connection (the + at the lower left) the only options are VPN, Bond, Team, Bridge and VLAN (no Ethernet, Wifi or 3G).

This also means that the configuration of these connections is not possible through the standard GNOME GUI.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-control-center-3.14.2-1.mga5
(although I don't know if this is where the problem is)

How reproducible:
Has been like this since the start with Mageia 5. I think it was working fine in Mageia 4.


Reproducible: 

Steps to Reproduce:

There's no maintainer for gnome-control-center, so assigning to all packagers collectively.

I'm very much puzzled by this report, though, I think an issue like this one would have affected many of our iso testers and Mga5 wouldn't have been released like that.

Can anyone reproduce it?

Hi Friedel
What do you mean by disabled net_applet? What did you actually do.

Please ignore the previous comment. I can reproduce this and net_applet appears to have nothing to do with it. I think the reason it hasn't been reported before is that people use mcc instead of the gnome network app. I'll check upstream for a report.

Comment 4 Nic Baxter 2016-02-07 02:52:04 CET

I have just checked in Ubuntu 14.04 with Gnome3 DE and it works as expected. Is it possible this is a MCC bug? Network settings changed so Gnome can't read them?

Re-assigning to the Gnome maintainers group.

Is this bug still valid in a completely updated system?

Hi Marja. Yes, this is still this way today.

Comment 8 Marja Van Waes 2018-04-28 22:25:30 CEST

Hi Friedel,

Thank you for having taken the needed time to report this issue!

Did this bug get fixed? If so, please change its status to RESOLVED - FIXED

If it didn't, then we regret that we weren't able to fix it in Mageia 5. Mageia 5 has officially reached its End of Life on December 31st, 2017 https://blog.mageia.org/en/2017/11/07/mageia-5-eol-postponed/
It only continued to get important security updates since then, because we are waiting for a big Plasma5 update in Mageia 6, that'll fix many of the Mageia 5 => 6 upgrade issues.

If you haven't seen that this bug got fixed, then please check whether this bug still exists in Mageia 6. If it does, then please change the Version (near the top, at the left) to "6". If you know it exists in Cauldron, then change Version to Cauldron. If you see it in both Cauldron and Mageia 6, then please set Version to Cauldron and add MGA6TOO on the Whiteboard.

Thanks,
Marja

@ Friedel:

No reply, so closing as OLD since Mageia 5 is no longer maintained.
