This still seems a bug to me.

The setting that I am missing is "Disable touchpad when a mouse is plugged in".
 In all honesty, that setting is why I started using KDE.

And that worked for me with openSUSE Leap 15.0 and Leap 15.1 (both using Plasma
5.12.8 and the Libinput drivers).  But the setting is no longer available with
openSUSE Leap 15.2 Beta (using Plasma 5.18.0).  However, it still works if I
copy ".config/touchpadrc" from an earlier system.

I really hope that this setting isn't going away.  And I hope we can get back a
way of configuring it via system settings.

Here's a strange thing.  On one laptop, I see the old touchpad settings screen.
 That laptop was originally configured with openSUSE Leap 15.0, then upgraded. 
However, if I create a new user on that same computer, then I get the new
touchpad settings screen with some settings no longer visible.

[plasma-nm] [Bug 380797] Cannot set MTU of wired connection

--- Comment #7 from Neil Rickert <nwr10cst-os...@yahoo.com> ---
>Could you please check whether this is not a duplicate of bug 378554?

Yes, it appears to be the same bug.

I set "allow auto-negotiation".  Then "Apply" was no longer grayed out.  I
changed the MTU to 1471 and clicked "Apply" (and was prompted for root
password).  Checking the connection file in
"/etc/NetworkManager/system-connection", the MTU information had changed to
1471.

I was then prompted for the "kdewallet" key.  I'm not sure what that is about,
since this is a wired connection.

I closed the connection editor.  Then I restarted it.  I could see that "allow
auto-negotiation" was still checked.  I changed the MTU back to 1472.  And that
caused "Apply" to no longer be grayed out.  And I was able to save those
changes.

[plasma-nm] [Bug 380797] Cannot set MTU of wired connection

Tumbleweed upgrade plasma-nm to version 5.10.1 today.  So I decided to retest.

The problem is still there.  But I paid closer attention to what is happening.

When I start editing the Wired connect settings, I see "Okay", "Apply" and
"Cancel" buttons near the bottom of the screen.  But the "Apply" is grayed out,
so cannot be used.

When I change something (I tried changing the MTU from 1472 to 1471), the
"Apply" remains greyed out.  So the applet is not recognizing that there are
changes that need to be saved.

By contrast, if I edit a "WiFi" connection settings, then the change of MTU
from 1472 to 1471 (and then back to 1472) makes the Apply button active (not
grayed out).

In openSUSE Tumbleweed, NetworkManager shows up as version 1.6.2.

On KaOS, where I also see this problem, NetworkManager appears to be version
1.8.0.

I am seeing the problem on openSUSE Tumbleweed (plasma-nm 5.10.0 -- actually
called "plasma-nm5 there).

I am also seeing the problem on KaOS, with plasma-nm 5.9.5.1

With the way that openSUSE handles NM, there should have been a polkit window
that popped up when I tried to save the changes.  But there was no such polkit
popup.  Similarly, with KaOS, there was no polkit popup.

It's a while since I last used Fedora. But I seem to recall that it was more
generous with allowing network config changes, so perhaps it would not have
required a polkit query.

[plasma-nm] [Bug 380797] New: Cannot set MTU of wired connection

2017-06-03 Thread Neil Rickert
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380797

Bug ID: 380797
   Summary: Cannot set  MTU of wired connection
   Product: plasma-nm
   Version: 5.10.0
  Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
  Severity: normal
  Priority: NOR
 Component: applet
  Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
  Reporter: nwr10cst-os...@yahoo.com
  Target Milestone: ---

I attempted to set MTU for wired connection to 1472 (recommended for IPv6 via
6rd).

Note: this is also reported as Bug 1042542 for opensuse
(bugzilla.opensuse.org).

In the client, I made the change, then clicked "Okay" (or "Apply").  I expected
a connection definition file (probably "Wired connection 1") to be save in
"/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections" with the changed setting.  Instead,
nothing happened.  I rebooted, and the MTU was still 1500.

I also have Gnome desktop installed.  I tried using the Gnome NetworkManager
client, and changing the MTU there worked as expected (while logged into
Gnome).

[plasma-nm] [Bug 359842] Shared connection asks for root password on every reconnect.

Thanks for reopening.

I did not get any email for the recent comments.  I think my ISP may be
blocking KDE.org.  So I have now changed the email address that I am using. 
(The same problem happened with the opensuse bugzilla).

In my opinion, this should be reopened.  I won't reopen because of comment 8,
but I disagree with that comment.

Firstly, this is specifically a plasma 5 issue.  If the network connect is
setup in Gnome or XFCE or MATE or LXDE, then the problem does not arise.  If
"nm-applet" is used as network client and the connection is setup with that
client, the problem does not arise.  When I tried running nm-applet in Plasma
5, I could not access it, so nm-applet has to be run elsewhere.

Since it works with nm-applet (which is used in XFCE), then it cannot be a
polkit problem.  Rather, the plasma client does things differently and, in my
opinion, wrongly.

I have a blog post about this at:
https://nwrickert2.wordpress.com/2016/01/06/another-look-at-networkmanager-and-tumbleweed/

Responding to comment 4
>I think that "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.settings.modify.system" = "auth" 
>is responsible for your problem.

Yes, that's possible.  But that's the wrong polkit rule.  The user is just
making a connection.  The user is not changing a system connection.  In my
opinion, it should instead use
"org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.network-control".  As far as I know, it is a
plasma issue to specify the appropriate rule.

When the user first changed the connection to be a system connection, then
"modify.system" was appropriate.  But just connecting to an existing system
connection does not modify the connection definition, so should be under the
more general "network-control".
