I'm not sure that it's a bug of NetworkManager, but I get the above message when trying to make a DSL connection "available to all users" in it (at the bottom of the dialog box). NetworkManager Version : 0.7.1 Release : 3.git20090414.fc11
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Thanks for filling this bug, can you please try to boot your system with selinux=0 to ensure that this is not an SELinux problem? To do that, please edit your /etc/grub.conf, find the line who start with "kernel" and add selinux=0 at the end of the line. -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
Same result without selinux.
I can confirm this bug with NetworkManager Version : 0.7.1-6 Release : git20090617.fc11.i586
I get the same, but for a vpn connection when trying to enable the "Available to all users" checkbox: Saving connection failed: (0) Can't write connection type 'vpn' NetworkManager-0.7.1-4.git20090414.fc11.x86_64 NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.1-4.git20090414.fc11.x86_64
This problem may be because of "ifcfg-rh" plugin of NetworkManager. Please try with "keyfile" plugin and check that it works well. In my case, this resolved the same problem.
I have the same issue with try to edit a VPN connection. Any resolution?
I too am seeing the same problem...
What is the plugins= line of your /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf files? If that line is: plugins=ifcfg-rh,keyfile then you'll need: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-10696?_csrf_token=e88f5a8b9de7fc8ef25c45ef471095c92861c647 which has a fix for falling back to the next plugin when the first one doesn't support writing that type of connection. If that line is: plugins=ifcfg-rh then try adding ",keyfile" to the end and updating to the F-11 update listed there. The main reason is that ifcfg-rh isn't able to write all types of connections since we haven't defined keys for ifcfg files for everything yet. 'keyfile' can write everything, but isn't the standard Fedora config file format that everyone knows. The intention is to make ifcfg files support all connection types.
Unfortunately, I can't provide this info, since I don't have any Fedora installations at the moment. However I hope that others experiencing the same problem can do it.
Is there an F-12 update? I just realized this is a f11 bz and I'm seeing this on my f12 laptop...
(In reply to comment #11) > Is there an F-12 update? I just realized this is a f11 bz and I'm > seeing this on my f12 laptop... It should be fixed in recent F12 from last week, -5.git20091021 I think. What version do you have there?

Steve: yeah, you'll want to update; the -5 build from 2009-10-21 has the fix for falling back to the next plugin (ie, keyfile) if the first one (ie, ifcfg-rh) can't write out a specific connection type. 20090921 didn't have that.
Update to what? It appears this is the last build http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=137758 which I have isntalled?
(In reply to comment #15) > Update to what? It appears this is the last build > http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=137758 > which I have isntalled? Not quite: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=137758 Mirrors have the update too: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/development/i386/os/Packages/NetworkManager-0.7.996-5.git20091021.fc12.i686.rpm A sequence of: yum clean all yum upgrade NetworkManager* should do the trick? If not, your mirror might be out of date perhaps?

(In reply to comment #15) > Update to what? It appears this is the last build > http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=137758 > which I have isntalled? Ah, small mixup. In any case, what does your /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf file contain? Did you restart NetworkManager after editing that file to add the 'keyfile' plugin?
Quick update.... It turns I was able to import vpncs using 0.7.996-5 only if I did *not* click the 'Available to all users' # cat /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf [main] plugins=ifcfg-rh Question, should I still added the 'keyfile' plugin?

I am getting the same error when trying to make a VPN available to all users. I have applied the latest update from the testing repository and am still getting the same error.

The ifcfg-rh system settings plugin only supports ethernet and wifi connections at this time, but keyfile supports everything.
> Try adding ",keyfile" to the end of the "plugins=" line in /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf Note that you may have to specify only keyfile plugin. I had to do so to solve this problem.

mobile-broadband-provider-info-1.20090918-1.fc11, NetworkManager-0.7.2-1.fc11 has been pushed to the Fedora 11 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I still can't make a connection "available to all users" in FC12. Given this situation, what should I do with this bug? Should I open a new one for FC12?
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Hi, I just reproduced this issue on Fedora 13.

Best, Chao
You'll want to update to NetworkManager-0.8.1 (in F13 and F12 updates) and then also make your /etc/nm-system-settings.conf or /etc/NetworkManager.conf (whichever you have) have this line: plugins=ifcfg-rh,keyfile since the ifcfg-rh plugin cannot yet write pppoe connections, you'll need to use the keyfile plugin which does support pppoe as files in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
