Did you find that documented somewhere or did you use an UI to create the file |
| 31 |
originally? What about when you need one of the many features that this simple |
| 32 |
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 |
| 35 |
manually because plasma-nm ask for root password when modifying system wide |
| 36 |
connections but it doesn't save the changes (the solution was to run nm- |
| 37 |
connection-editor manually as root). The same applies to nmtui and it only |
| 38 |
covers a few options. I don't remember exactly what needed to be changed in |
| 39 |
the file but it wasn't intuitive. |
