[Bug 839767] Re: Saved wireless networks/VPNs unavailable after Oneric upgrade

 

nm-applet is supposed to do that for you, but it appearently doesn't
work in this case.

There is enough information here to try to reproduce the migration
issues, so I'll mark this Triaged/Medium and work on trying to get this
tested, to find out which part cannot be migrated.

Title:
  Saved wireless networks/VPNs unavailable after Oneric upgrade

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I just upgraded to Oneric (via update-manager -d), and now my saved
  network passwords and vpns are no long available. I can connect to
  wireless networks and re-enter passwords, and they persist (they show
  up in the 'Edit Connections' dialog), but the old networks do not. I
  do see the new networks in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections.
  What's strange is that is see the old connections and vpns in gconf-
  editor under /system/network/connections. Was there something that was
  supposed to run and migrate these settings out of gconf?
