[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#1092578: Bug#1092578: Bug#1092578: network-manager: GUI closes after selecting 802.1x user password (.p12) file and doesn't save the settings

Control: reassign -1 gnome-control-center

Hi Lukáš,

what you describe so far looks like a crash in gnome-control-center.
Thank you for the additional information.
I'm thus reassigning the issue accordingly (with a CC of the mantainer)

To further investigate the issue, I would advise you to follow [1] and 
get a proper backtrace of the crash including having all the dbg-sym 
packages installed.

Regards,
Michael
