[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#730849: network-manager-kde: KDE network manager, can't change from DHCP to static.

[Giorgos Kostopoulos]

Package: network-manager-kde
Version: 1:0.9.0.3-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

KDE Network Manager can't change my wired connection from DHCP to static.


   * What was the outcome of this action?

On Wired window -> clicking the connection -> Edit -> Method -> Manual.
Here no matter what I'm entering, it can't save the changes.
After entering the values -> OK -> everything is lost.
Reopening the Edit window results to a blank window DHCP again.
Also testing with third-party tools, confirms that DHCP never changed to
static.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

To save the changes (after OK).


Note 1: Wicd never worked for me, either.
Note 2: I opened a thread on fora, but a solution couldn't found.
