Hi [testing this on a system with 1.2.6] I have a setup that (will be) a read-only root file system with RW /home directory. To allow for network changes, I have mapped the keyfile path in NetworkManager.conf to /home. However when I do this I get an error when trying save a connection (nmcli connection add gives me No plugin supported adding this connection, connection edit / save gives me read-only file system). If I map keyfile path to anywhere but /home, such as /tmp or /etc/TEST it works fine. Any idea why this won't work with any subdirectories in the /home folder?
Hi, /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service contains: ProtectHome=read-only See `man systemd.exec`. You may change that via $ systemctl edit NetworkManager.service but a better idea would be to choose a directory like /var/lib/NetworkManager, which is required to be read-write and persisted. Also, because NetworkManager is a system daemon and has no business with your home directory. best, Thomas
