Network manager not showing saved network connections
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256
Hi all,
I am using debian stable with network-manager 0.9.10.0-7 and
network-manager-gnome 0.9.10.0-2.
I recently noticed that seeing a network[0] (eduroam) for which I
configured several connections (had three eduroam accounts over the
time, and have two setups for one of them for debugging), the nm-applet
didn't offer me all connections to choose for connecting to that
network. Digging further I went to right click on the nm-applet icon ->
Edit connections and got more suspicious as my home network did not
appear and I was pretty sure having used my home wifi recently.
Searching around, I found that all the settings I was missing in the gui
are actually there in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections:
https://mathphys.fsk.uni-heidelberg.de/~pseyfert/slash-etc.png
(apparently five eduroam connections [1])
https://mathphys.fsk.uni-heidelberg.de/~pseyfert/nm-applet.png
(gui shows only two[4])
restarting network manager (systemctl restart network-manager.service)
and/or the nm-applet (killall nm-applet ; nm-applet) doesn't fix the
situation.
Deleting almost all connections (204 out of 214) in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ and only keeping those few I am
sure to use[2], I get a working state (all connections which I want to
exist are shown in the nm-applet). When I restore all connections in
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/, the list in nm-applet is again
incomplete.
So far I only used the network manager through the nm-applet with my
normal user account.
Is this a known bug[3]? Any suggestions what to test/investigate/other
information I should provide?
Cheers,
Paul
[0] mostly wifi connections, but also mobile broadband seems affected.
[1] time stamps are off since I cleared the directory earlier today for
debugging and now copied the files back and restarted network-manager
and the nm-applet. In the backup they look like this:
https://mathphys.fsk.uni-heidelberg.de/~pseyfert/orgs.png
[2] including a connection which is not shown.
[3] google is somewhat swamped with network manager forgetting passwords
or not showing networks after hibernation.
[4] note the matching of filename to id
