This has remained reproducible in every release from Fedora 23 through Fedora 30 -- the problem never went away (and the underlying reason/behavior never changed). Please re-open against Fedora 30.
This occurs in Fedora Workstation when it is installed to disk. The behavior can be very easily seen by booting the Fedora Workstation live image, without any wired or wireless network connections. (However the missing 'libvirt-daemon-config-network' package needs to be installed from local storage after boot, except on Fedora 23 and Fedora 26 where this is already present.) [liveuser@localhost ~]$ nmcli connection NAME UUID TYPE DEVICE virbr0 f20e2384-0dca-4a6b-b4cb-3dd1582c1ce1 bridge virbr0 [liveuser@localhost ~]$ nm-online Connecting............... 30s [online] This is (falsely) indicating that "the network is connected", as described in nm-online(1). Configuring NetworkManager to not manage virbr0 still works around this: [liveuser@localhost ~]$ cat > ifcfg-virbr0 << EOF > DEVICE=virbr0 > NM_CONTROLLED=no > EOF [liveuser@localhost ~]$ sudo cp ifcfg-virbr0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ [liveuser@localhost ~]$ rm ifcfg-virbr0 [liveuser@localhost ~]$ sudo nmcli connection reload [liveuser@localhost ~]$ nmcli connection [liveuser@localhost ~]$ nm-online Connecting............... 0s [offline] But this should be an automatic setting, not a manual one. We already know that the explicit configuration of this interface is handled by libvirt (see /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/default.xml), and NetworkManager should not be managing it and potentially changing its state. However this more generally applies to any virtual network switch created with libvirt though, whether or not it is named virbr0. Which package should contain the hooks to do this? Should NetworkManager be able to identify a libvirt network switch, or should libvirt configure NetworkManager (perhaps using a separate settings plugin) to not manage its devices? -- 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/1432599 Title: Network-manager tries to manage virbr0, which it should not Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in network-manager package in Fedora: Won't Fix Bug description: Since a recent upgrade in vivid, nm is trying to manage virbr0.
