Description of problem: In the Network Settings dialog, IPv4 tab, when you try to change from DHCP to Manual for a static IP, the 'save' button is always greyed out. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always (I tried it twice) Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Network Settings, IPv4 tab 2.Change from DHCP to Manual 3.Try to enter a Static IP: the 'save' button stays greyed Actual results: the 'save' button stays greyed Expected results: the 'save' button should save the new settings Additional info: Workaround: I can use system-config-network to make the change without problem. (Is this bug actually a usability problem?)
What specific static IP are you entering? You also need at least an IP and a prefix/netmask, are you entering both?
Hi Dan, It was likely 192.168.4.2 and I tried to enter a netmask of 255.255.255.0 When I have entered the IP I expect to be able to tab to the netmask field, but that does not work. When I click on the netmask field, the IP gets lost. Enter a netmask, then click on the Gateway field, and the netmask gets lost. Do you happen to know where the source code for this is? I can probably sort it out.
THis has been a problem for a while actually, but because of the way GtkTreeView works it's hard to intercept the keypresses to get the desired behavior. THe code is: http://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/tree/src/connection-editor/page-ip4.c and the functions cell_editing_started(), cell_editing_canceled(), and cell_edited() are supposed to help work around this all.
