2019-01-22 16:34:16 Amr Ibrahim description Upstream fix: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/network-manager-applet/commit/24c5f40e729b0efc7c53f4b33ead006ab7e769a6 This bug is about re-enabling the desktop launcher visibility of nm-connection-editor. A typical use case of nm-connection-editor is sharing internet connection with other computers over Ethernet. I cannot do that in the network panel of gnome-control-center on Bionic. Gnome and KDE do not allow starting nm-connection-editor from the GUI, nor provide a graphical way to manage more specialized connections, like Bridge, Team and Bond ones. Upstream also changed the displayed name (to Advanced Network Configuration) to hint users that the tool should be used for specialized networking configurations.
