Bug ID: 397489
Summary: MAC change not working via plasma-nm
Product: plasma-nm
Version: unspecified
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: h.str...@directbox.com
Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
i recently needed to change the wlan mac on my laptop (Kubuntu 18.04). This
used to work on that machine a few years ago. This time when I change the mac
in plasma-nm, the connection simply fails. Journalctl shows no error messages,
it simply tries to connect a few times without success. If I do establish the
connection manually (shell), it works. Out of curiosity I gave gnome a try
instead of KDE (same session), there mac change works flawlessly as well.
Since I updated Kubuntu a few times, I tried the same at my office machine
(fedora 28): Same thing: Mac change via nmcli works like a charm, as do the
random Mac options. If I change the MAC-addr in KDE via plasma-nm, connection
fails. Happens with both, encrypted and unencrypted wlan connections.
Out of curiosity I tried the same with a Debian live Image (latest weekly KDE
build): Same thing here.
Regards,
Henning
