Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
When attempting to save my existing network connection as a system setting (so that it will load on boot without the need to log in), I receive an error: "Adding connection failed: Saving connection failed..". Steps to reproduce: 1. Use gnome-network-manager (I was in Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 alpha 4) 2. Right click on notification area icon and select "Edit connections..." 3. Add a new connection named "test / conn" with any details but do not specify it as a system setting (notice that it saves with no error and would work) 4. Edit the connection again, but this time tick the "System setting" box (notice the error described above) Actual results: The following is listed in the syslog: nm-system-settings: Error chowning '/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/test / conn': 2 nm-system-settings: Error while saving connection: Failed to create file '/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/test / conn.I4ZZFU': No such file or directory Expected results: The connection should be correctly saved as a system setting and a file "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/test / conn" should be created. Does this happen every time? Yes, as long as the connection name includes a "/" character Other information: This should be fixed by making the command which creates the connection file in the "/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/" folder insensitive to special characters. I am unsure if this is a Ubuntu specific bug or if it is an upstream issue. I have also filed this bug in the gnome bugtracker at the following address: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=548608 ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Network connection cannot be saved as system setting if connection name contains a "/" character https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259714 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
