Applying netplan.io from the noble-proposed series does solve the issue for new connections.
I used the following command line to install the updated package after enabling proposed: ``` sudo apt-get --target-release noble-proposed install netplan.io ``` Existing connections need to be renamed manually. I used the following bash one-liner script to automate the renaming of network connections: ``` nmcli --terse connection | grep \\\\ | while IFS=: read name uuid rest ; do fix=$(printf "$name") ; nmcli connection modify uuid "$uuid" con-name "$fix" ; done ``` -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-applet in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2077515 Title: Network Manager applet shows back-slash escapes for non-latin characters Status in netplan.io package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Network Manager applet shows Non-Latin characters escaped with back-slash and octets.
