[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#755202: network-manager: Bug also present in Raspbian Jessie

[Jan Heitkoetter]

Package: network-manager
Version: 0.9.10.0-7
Followup-For: Bug #755202

Dear Maintainer,

It occours to me that this bug is still present in Raspbian Jessie.

I'm trying to set up eth0 with static IP.

/etc/network/interfaces:
# Please note that this file is written to be used with dhcpcd.
# For static IP, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf and 'man dhcpcd.conf'.

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

#auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp

#auto wlan0
#allow-hotplug wlan0
#iface wlan0 inet dhcp
#wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

#iface default inet dhcp


Rebooting after installing network-manager, network-manager has automatically created a connection 16a3... using device eth0 and DHCP:
root at himbeere2:/home/jan# nmcli c s
NAME  UUID                                  TYP             GERÄT 
eth0  16a38f40-3cd1-4794-a7b3-e86c318546ca  802-3-ethernet  eth0  


Now editing this connection:
root at himbeere2:/home/jan# nmcli c e eth0

===| nmcli interaktiver Verbindungs-Editor |===

Bestehende Verbindung »802-3-ethernet« wird bearbeitet: »eth0«

[setting static IP etc.]

nmcli> save
Saving the connection with 'autoconnect=yes'. That might result in an immediate activation of the connection.
Do you still want to save? (ja/nein) [ja] 
Verbindung »eth0« (16a38f40-3cd1-4794-a7b3-e86c318546ca) erfolgreich aktualisiert.
nmcli> quit


Reboot and see what happens:
root at himbeere2:/home/jan# reboot

[...]

jan at himbeere2:~$ sudo nmcli c s
[sudo] password for jan: 
NAME  UUID                                  TYP             GERÄT 
eth0  84150a4e-91b0-446d-b324-4298ff3b1d77  802-3-ethernet  eth0  
eth0  16a38f40-3cd1-4794-a7b3-e86c318546ca  802-3-ethernet  --    

network-manager has created another connection 8415... claiming device eth0 and using DHCP. It does so after each reboot. I would expect network-manager to use the existing connection 16a3...


No conffile for 8415...:
jan at himbeere2:~$ ls -l /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/
insgesamt 4
-rw------- 1 root root 267 Jan 26 22:52 eth0


Conffile for 16a3... is there (contents OK):
jan at himbeere2:~$ sudo grep uuid /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/eth0
uuid=16a38f40-3cd1-4794-a7b3-e86c318546ca


/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false

Regards

Jan

P.S. Does nobody take care about all those spam replies?
