[Bug 26017] Re: Ubuntu's graphical network configuration doesn't work at all

[Quim Gil]

Apart from the problem of taking so long to apply changes, the problem is that network-admin won't store the new configuration at all. Maybe it has something to do with eth1 and having different locations. At least I'm getting the problem now that I've moved to another office and I'm trying to keep two different locations updated.

This is what the terminal shows:

Emulating the gksu command:

qgil at icaria36:~$ gksu network-admin
(network-admin:6072): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

(((here is when changes are made, and they takle effect: change of ESSID and password)))

** (network-admin:6072): CRITICAL **: gst_xml_element_set_content: assertion `node != NULL' failed

(((This is the error message got when pressing "OK". The app will be like frozen for a mkinute and then vanishes. The changes are not saved and you get back to the initial situation, withy old ESSID and password, so the connection is not reachable again)))


Now going through sudo, same thing:

qgil at icaria36:~$ sudo network-admin

** (network-admin:6611): CRITICAL **: gst_xml_element_set_content: assertion `node != NULL' failed
qgil at icaria36:~$

The "solution" is to change tghe configuration everytime you log in and leave it like that, open, without pressing ok. Which is not optimal.  :)
