Sure! I'll simply provide the NetworkManager connections as they are in use by us. So /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections should look like this:
root@id-00000015695:/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections# ls -l totaal 12 -rw------- 1 root root 125 aug 11 11:28 dhcp -rw------- 1 root root 191 aug 11 11:28 manual1 -rw------- 1 root root 194 aug 11 14:31 manual2 The 'dhcp' profile is a DHCP profile and 'manual1' and 'manual2' are both static profiles. This is the 'dhcp' profile: [connection] id=DHCP uuid=702624f9-f052-473a-b131-acd2045e6ec2 type=802-3-ethernet [ipv4] method=auto [ipv6] method=ignore This is the 'manual1' profile: [connection] id=Manual1 uuid=e77a459e-6242-4e7d-ba95-371f27592526 type=802-3-ethernet [ipv4] method=manual address1=10.45.67.5/24,10.45.76.1 dns=10.45.70.1;10.45.70.2; [ipv6] method=ignore This is the 'manual2' profile: [connection] id=Manual2 uuid=7a9a5bc2-d51a-46b4-b721-050a607951bc type=802-3-ethernet [ipv4] method=manual address1=10.110.110.111/24,10.110.110.110 dns=8.8.8.8;8.8.4.4; [ipv6] method=ignore Place all these profiles in system-connections. Select DHCP using NetworkManager. Then reboot or restart NetworkManager service. A different profile (manual1 or manual2) will be selected instead of dhcp. If you repeat this again, the last profile (the one which hasn't been selected yet) will be chosen. Another repeat will bring the selection back to DHCP. With every repeat it should continue in the same order, iterating through all three profiles. -- 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/1613729 Title: NetworkManager autoconnects to wired profiles in reverse order Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in network-manager source package in Trusty: New Bug description: When I select a wired profile manually and reboot, NetworkManager instead connects to the profile that has the oldest timestamp. So it's not connecting to the last used profile, which is troublesome. On all of our machines (about 500), we define three wired network profiles, one DHCP and two static. We're migrating from Debian to Ubuntu, so this bug has only surfaced now for us. This can be reproduced by creating a couple of network profiles on the same wired interface and then rebooting or restarting network-manager. It will loop through the network profiles in the same order always. So it's doing the exact reverse of what's supposed to happen. I did some digging and I applied a simple patch to the source code. This seems to have fixed the issue. I posted my patch for verification on the networkmanager mailing list and it was verified as being correct by Beniamino Galvani, one of the developers. Here is the link to the network-manager topic: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/networkmanager- list/2016-August/msg00053.html This is the patch (also included as attachment): --- nm-device.c 2016-08-16 15:37:50.000000000 +0200 +++ nm-device_patched.c 2016-08-16 15:44:08.308729955 +0200 @@ -1267,7 +1267,7 @@ s_con = nm_connection_get_setting_connection (connection); g_assert (s_con); if (nm_setting_connection_get_autoconnect (s_con)) - available_conns = g_slist_prepend (available_conns, connection); + available_conns = g_slist_append (available_conns, connection); } if (!available_conns) I hope to get this patch included in the trusty package, so somebody else can benefit from this.
