I have the same problem, using a Huawei E173 under Ubuntu 15.10. I confirm that connections remain editable before reboot, when created through nm-applet. This works both for those created using 'Edit Connections' as for those created using the "New Mobile Broadband connection" menu item (menu item of nm-applet showing up when modem is registered, without any existing configured connections).
Two other observations: 1. When I create a new connection using "New Mobile Broadband connection", and edit it immediately afterwards, I don't see any APN configured. As the connection works, I nevertheless assume that this information is somehow available to NetworkManager. 2. System Settings -> Network -> Mobile Broadband -> Add new connection: nothing happens -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1508718 Title: NetworkManager - error initialzing editor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1508718/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
