Maybe something like this pseudo-code in network-manager preinst maintainer script:
foreach UUID in $(cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/* | grep "^uuid=") ORIG_ID=$(nmcli --get-values connection.id con show $UUID) nmcli con mod $UUID con-name $ORIG_ID".NETPLAN" nmcli con reload nmcli con mod $UUID con-name $ORIG_ID While on it, we should probably also make the network-manager package install a /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/README file after migration, which states that the existing connection profiles have been migrated to /etc/netplan (and where a backup can be found). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2010561 Title: The Netplan Everywhere NetworkManager fails to supply Netplan with networking information until a connection is deleted and re-created Status in netplan: Triaged Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce: 1. Install Ubuntu Lunar or a flavor thereof onto physical hardware with a WiFi adapter. (I used Lubuntu Lunar.) 2. Connect to WiFi and install all updates. 3. Enable the Netplan Everywhere PPA and install the updated NetworkManager from it (further details at https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/call-for-testing-networkmanager-yaml-settings/32420?u=arraybolt3) 4. When the installation finishes, run "sudo netplan get". Expected result: Networking information related to the WiFi connection should appear in the "sudo netplan get" output. Actual result: "sudo netplan get" returns the following: ** (process:4088): WARNING **: 12:41:41.394; Permissions for /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml are too open. Netplan configuration should NOT be accessible by others. network: version: 2 renderer: NetworkManager End of output. Additionally, the /etc/netplan folder does not contain files that I would expect to be there that would contain the networking info. Additional information: If I disconnect from WiFi, then delete my WiFi connection entirely in nmtui, and *then* reconnect to the same WiFi network, "sudo netplan get" returns the expected networking information. /etc/netplan is also properly populated after doing this. This bug seems like it will probably cause unintended behavior after an upgrade from 23.04 (which uses normal NetworkManager) to 23.10 (which is supposed to be using the Netplan Everywhere NetworkManager). People probably won't know to entirely delete the WiFi and other connections and then reconnect them in order for the netplan output to be usable.
