The problem is in the settings of the connection, but unfortunates the
manager does not display this information.
SOLUTION:
- start nm-connection-editor from the terminal (sudo is possible, bus probably
not necessary).
- open the connection settings as usual in the popped-up manager
- The exact error message will be printed in the terminal, read it.
- Fix the error and the buttons will be available again.
EXAMPLE OUTPUT in the terminal (in German in my case and I had to mark
Certificate as ignored ):
** Message: Cannot save connection due to error: Editors wird initialisiert …
** Message: Cannot save connection due to error: ungültige Einstellung
Sicherheit des Funknetzwerks: Ungültiges EAP-PEAP-CA-Zertifikat: Kein

** Message: Cannot save connection due to error: ungültige Einstellung

Title:
Can't save changes in "Edit Connections..." for Wi-Fi networks to
which one doesn't have the password
Status in Linux:
Unknown
Status in NetworkManager:
Unknown
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in network-manager package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
Steps to reproduce:
1) Right-click on Network Manager's tray icon
2) select "edit connections"
3) go to the "wireless" tab
4) select any connection in the list, except the one you are currently
connected to
5) Click "Edit"
5) Change some settings
Expected: there should be some way to save those changes
Observed: the "Apply" button is greyed out. There is no "Save" button.
If you hit Cancel, obviously the changes are discarded.
If you edit the network you are connected to, the Apply button works,
but why on earth are'n you allowed to save changes to a network you
are not connected to? And if there was a reason why you can't, then
why are you allowed to edit in the first place?
