Package: network-manager-gnome
Version: 1.4.6-1
Severity: normal
Dear maintainer,
NetworkManager Applet shows useless entries of unmanaged interfaces.
In my case it is virtual interfaces from vmwware workstation.
# nmcli d
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
wlp1s0 wifi connected mywifi
cdc-wdm0 gsm disconnected --
eth0 ethernet unavailable --
vmnet1 ethernet unmanaged --
vmnet8 ethernet unmanaged --
lo loopback unmanaged --
Here vmnet1 and vmnet8 lead to completely useless entries greyed out in
the applets' menu like this
"Ethernet ()
device not managed
Ethernet ()
device not managed"
Since these are always listed at the top of the menu taking up considerable
space this is simply annoying.
And this could be a usability problem when one has more such interfaces
and less screen estate.
Same problem with the 1.8.0-1 version from experimental.
Only way I found to get rid of these stupid entries was to change the
source:
