Did you find that documented somewhere or did you use an UI to create the file originally? What about when you need one of the many features that this simple example doesn't cover (like permissions)? what is the guid? It is hard. When I started using NetworkManager I had hell trying to modify that file manually because plasma-nm ask for root password when modifying system wide connections but it doesn't save the changes (the solution was to run nm- connection-editor manually as root). The same applies to nmtui and it only covers a few options. I don't remember exactly what needed to be changed in the file but it wasn't intuitive. -- Fernando Rodriguez
