Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1255735
Dialog run by nm-connection-editor --create --type=vlan doesn't offer connections (eg bond) as parents

Created attachment 1065562 [details] screenshot of g-c-c network - connections are missing RHEL 7.2 Beta 1.0 When trying to add VLAN connection in gnome-control-center network or Anaconda installer, ie with nm-connection-editor --create --type=vlan, connections are not offered in the list of available parents. Which means it is not possible to create vlan over bond this way.

This issue is blocking Anaconda's bug 1112674. Also it might be considered as duplicate of bug 1112672.
When creating a connection with "--create" (e.g. nm-connection-editor --create --type=vlan), the list of connection was not yet fetched and thus the connections didn't appear in "Parent interface" list. When editing an existing connection, the "Parent interface" is populated. We need to wait for the connections even when creating a new connection. A fix is available in upstream branch of network-manager-applet repository: jk/editor-create-connection-rh1255735
Looks good to me.
Committed to upstream nma-1-0: 8d5e165 editor: read all connections even when we create a new connection (rh #1255735) (Upstream master branch does not have the problem, because it uses new libnm. And nm_client_get_connections() ensures that all connections are returned).
Created attachment 1079185 [details] screenshot of the fixed situation Fixed in nm-connection-editor-1.0.6-1.el7.x86_64
