Network Manager still has problems. I've had a lucky streak for a few years where it hasn't given me problems, but the other day the GUI decided not to save my settings anymore. It looks like it does, but it doesn't. If I kill the beast and tap in the commands it just works, but if I run the daemon it keeps feeding the backends with old settings.
How do I debug this? There's just sockets and layers of GTK. I'll probably end up doing whatever voodoo I need to keep it away and give it another few years.

- fragmede 11y agoIn case you're actually interested in fixing that particular problem, it's probably polkit that's gone bad. To examine the issue further, nm-connection-editor is a separate binary that you can run from the command line, and it'll print errors on stdout - including what it's unable to do.
