RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Oliver Ilian 2017-01-10 11:45:16 UTC 
Description of problem:
The network notification for connection to either Network, wireless or VPN connections are not shown in Gnome 3.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nm-connection-editor-1.4.0-2.el7.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.14.4-53.el7.x86_64

Steps to Reproduce:
1. disconnect from wired network
2. connect to wired network

Actual results:
No notification that you are connected to a network

Expected results:
Notification that you are connected to a network

Additional info:
We were looking to use the Cisco VPN option to present a message after the user logged in. This was working on RHEL 6, and works while using vpnc on the command line.

The settings in Dconf are not disabled (and I did reset them with the following commands:

gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet disable-connected-notifications
gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet disable-disconnected-notifications

gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet disable-wifi-create
gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet suppress-wireless-networks-available

gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet disable-vpn-notifications

That's because GNOME 3 has built-in network indicator support instead of relying on nm-applet. That is this:

> gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet suppress-wireless-networks-available
> 
> gsettings reset org.gnome.nm-applet disable-vpn-notifications

configures a component that isn't used, and the one that *is* used doesn't follow those settings.

IMHO this is not a regression (if we changed the default browser from Firefox to Chromium, I would not expect the latter to follow the settings of the previous default browser either), but a feature request.

Also I would rather avoid copying nm-applet's settings one-by-one if possible, so can we pin down what feature exactly is missing? We do show notifications when a connection has been lost, what you want is another one when a connection has been established?
Comment 4 Matthias Clasen 2018-02-12 18:44:47 UTC 
This behavior is unchanged since 7.0, I don't think it qualifies as a blocker.
The best option for the CSB is a small shell extension, maybe ?
We can probably help with writing one. Setting devack- to get this off the blocker list.
