Public bug reported: I have noticed that in Kubuntu/Kde is not possible to edit the "Auto eth0" connection and, more important, is not possible to de-select its "Connect automatically" item.
If I create a custom connection, ie for a static ip configuration, even if I select the "Connect automatically" item, after each reboot the "Auto eth0" profile takes priority over all other custom connections. Seems that Kubuntu/Kde can only use Dhcp configuration at startup. I have tested this issue with a 100% reproducibility in Kubuntu 9.10 and 10.04 both in x86 and x86_64 version. Ubuntu/Gnome doesn't have the problem and allow to edit correctly also the "Auto eth0" connection. (see #303068). Thanks for your great work! ** Affects: kdenetwork Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: knetworkmanager Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: plasma-widget-networkmanagement Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: plasma-widget-networkmanagement Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: knetworkmanager Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: kdenetwork Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Description changed: I have noticed that in Kubuntu/Kde is not possible to edit the "Auto - eth0" connection and, more important, is impossible to de-select its + eth0" connection and, more important, is not possible to de-select its "Connect automatically" item. - In this way if I create a custom connection, ie for a static ip configuration, even if I select the "Connect automatically" item, after each reboot the "Auto eth0" profile takes priority over all other custom connections. - Seems to be that Kubuntu/Kde can only use Dhcp configuration at start-up. + If I create a custom connection, ie for a static ip configuration, even if I select the "Connect automatically" item, after each reboot the "Auto eth0" profile takes priority over all other custom connections. + Seems that Kubuntu/Kde can only use Dhcp configuration at startup.
