Public bug reported: NetworkManager 1.0.4 fixes a large number of potential bugs in handling network configurations, along with letting us be up to date with the current developments upstream (which has been an issue in previous releases, where NM had to be kept back due to requirements on the phone side). These requirements are not issues for the moment, so this release is the perfect time to update NM to a the current stable and recommended version.
It's already in -proposed now, but had multiple issues in autopkgtests and some smaller issues with failures in unit tests which have so far caused it to be blocked in proposed. It has been tested for three weeks in various configurations, connecting to wifi (open, WPA2, WPA-Enterprise), ethernet, and VPNs (openvpn). It works properly in KDE and GNOME environments without changes to the UI components. Other NM components (VPNs, for example) continue to function as there have not been substancial changes to the API. Attached and linked are build logs, etc. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1493934 Title: [FFE] NetworkManager 1.0.4 Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: NetworkManager 1.0.4 fixes a large number of potential bugs in handling network configurations, along with letting us be up to date with the current developments upstream (which has been an issue in previous releases, where NM had to be kept back due to requirements on the phone side).
