Hello Thomas, thanks for your answer. There are some business needs behind this migration to NM requirement...
Reg. nm-connection-editor - i already tried to generate a new profile using nce and then just copy it to the proper location but NM just ignores it. However, i found a solution - http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/examples/python/dbus/add-connection.py - by using this python script i'm able to add NM connections on the fly without anything else, problem solved :) Stano On Tue, Aug 12, 2014 at 12:07 PM, Thomas Haller <[email protected]> wrote: > On Tue, 2014-08-12 at 08:46 +0200, Stanislav Bocinec wrote: > > Hello, > > > > i'm working on migration of autoprovisioned Ubuntu 12.04 LTS servers > > from ifup (/etc/network/interfaces) to NetworkManager > > (v0.9.4.0). /etc/network/interfaces is clean (only loopback interface > > is configured): > > > > # cat /etc/network/interfaces > > auto lo > > iface lo inet loopback > > > > In this scenario, NM list one 'Wired connection 1': > > > > # nmcli c list > > NAME UUID TYPE > TIMESTAMP-REAL > > Wired connection 1 e96b8486-3ea8-4f20-bd5a-2d532c2cf90a > 802-3-ethernet Wed 06 Aug 2014 03:13:29 PM CEST > > This connection is in memory only, and generated automatically > because there was no other connection. > > > > > /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ is empty: > > > > # ls -la /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ > > total 8 > > drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 6 15:11 . > > drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Aug 6 11:37 .. > > > you certainly should be able to provide "keyfiles" > in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/.
