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 of problem:
MetworkManager settings GUI not updating connections added/deleted via nmcli


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.22.8


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. nmcli conn add type vpn ifname vpn1 con-name TEST vpn-type openconnect


Actual results:
Control panel is not updated. However, the upper right system menu VPN section is updated.
It is also not updated when executing:
# nmcli conn load /etc/NtworkManager/system-connections/TEST.nmconnection


Expected results:
Control panel should be updated

Additional info:
Oddly, this only occurs when specifying ifname.

The report is not very clear, but I assume you are using gnome-shell. Reassigning.

> Control panel is not updated. However, the upper right system menu VPN section is updated.

I assume that "control panel" means the network panel in Settings (gnome-control-center). gnome-shell implements the upper-right system menu, but that is reported to work correctly, so moving.

After evaluating this issue, there are no plans to address it further or fix it in an upcoming release.  Therefore, it is being closed.  If plans change such that this issue will be fixed in an upcoming release, then the bug can be reopened.
