Network Manager bug?

[Bhawks_2]

Hi all,

just installed 17.10. So far, not completely to my satisfaction. Seems to be a rather big bug in network manager: it doesn't seem to save any changes. The apply button is greyed out and stays that way whatever I change. Pressing OK doesn't save anything either (oh how I long for the days of manual config :-( ). Seems like something you'd want to test before releasing.
Anyone else have this problem? I have a setup with 2 wired connections (one for my internet connection, the other for an internal net).

Oh, and anyone know a description for manual config? Probably something in /etc/NetworkManager?

Ah, thank god. It's easy to disable NetworkManager: https://www.linuxhint.com/change-fro...ddress-ubuntu/

I'm seeing the same issue. I gave up, this is basic functionality and should not happen in a release. If you need to set a static address for an interface, it is unusable.

I also get the same troubles, as a workaround I used nmtui to config the network manager.
Since the network manager and nmtui are working it seems to me that the trouble may be in the System Settings/ Network Connection Editor (GUI).

I'm seeing the same bug in the NetworkManager GUI -- can't set up a static IP. This is a fresh install of 17.10 (with an old /home).

nmtui worked for me, too (although the first time it made a new profile even though i edited the old one; deleted the new one, edited the old one again, rebooted, all was well).
