Re: simpler reproduction of connman error

Here is how I reproduce the problem I'm having in the simplest manner using connmanctl: :~# connmanctl connmanctl> agent on Agent registered connmanctl> services ethernet_0008720978e2_cable /net/connman/service/ethernet_0008720978e2_cable Type = ethernet Security = [ ] State = online Favorite = True Immutable = False AutoConnect = True Name = Wired Ethernet = [ Method=auto, Interface=eno1, Address=00:08:72:09:78:E2, MTU=1500 ] IPv4 = [ Method=manual, Address=10.20.187.13, Netmask=255.255.255.0, Gateway=10.20.187.1 ] IPv4.Configuration = [ Method=manual, Address=10.20.187.13, Netmask=255.255.255.0, Gateway=10.20.187.1 ] IPv6 = [ Method=auto, Address=2620:10a:90cc:e187:208:72ff:fe09:78e2, PrefixLength=64, Privacy=disabled ] IPv6.Configuration = [ Method=auto, Privacy=disabled ] Nameservers = [ 10.20.55.200, 10.150.5.200 ] Nameservers.Configuration = [ 10.20.55.200, 10.150.5.200 ] Timeservers = [ ] Timeservers.Configuration = [ ] Domains = [ ] Domains.Configuration = [ ] Proxy = [ Method=direct ] Proxy.Configuration = [ ] mDNS = False mDNS.Configuration = False Provider = [ ] connmanctl> scan wifi Scan completed for wifi connmanctl> services *AO Wired ethernet_0008720978e2_cable XXXXXXX wifi_4889e71fb337_YYYYYYYYYYYYY_managed_psk connmanctl> disconnect ethernet_0008720978e2_cable Disconnected ethernet_0008720978e2_cable connmanctl> config ethernet_0008720978e2_cable autoconnect off connmanctl> connect wifi_4889e71fb337_YYYYYYYYYYYYY_managed_psk Agent RequestInput wifi_4889e71fb337_YYYYYYYYYYYYY_managed_psk Passphrase = [ Type=psk, Requirement=mandatory ] Agent request cancelled by ConnMan Error /net/connman/service/wifi_4889e71fb337_YYYYYYYYYYYYY_managed_psk: Invalid arguments connmanctl> connect ethernet_0008720978e2_cable Connected ethernet_0008720978e2_cable connmanctl> services ethernet_0008720978e2_cable /net/connman/service/ethernet_0008720978e2_cable Type = ethernet Security = [ ] State = ready Favorite = True Immutable = False AutoConnect = False Name = Wired Ethernet = [ Method=auto, Interface=eno1, Address=00:08:72:09:78:E2, MTU=1500 ] IPv4 = [ Method=manual, Address=10.20.187.13, Netmask=255.255.255.0 ] IPv4.Configuration = [ Method=manual, Address=10.20.187.13, Netmask=255.255.255.0 ] IPv6 = [ ] IPv6.Configuration = [ Method=auto, Privacy=disabled ] Nameservers = [ 10.20.55.200, 10.150.5.200 ] Nameservers.Configuration = [ 10.20.55.200, 10.150.5.200 ] Timeservers = [ ] Timeservers.Configuration = [ ] Domains = [ ] Domains.Configuration = [ ] Proxy = [ Method=direct ] Proxy.Configuration = [ ] mDNS = False mDNS.Configuration = False Provider = [ ] connmanctl> quit As you notice, when being prompted for the passphrase for the wireless connection I cancel it. (in this case I use another instance of connmanctl. In my application an asynchronous thread issues the cancel). Then try to reconnect the original manual config for the Ethernet. At that point you see that in IPv4 and IPv4 configuration the gateway is absent. So the connection is 'ready' but is never online, because it can't reach out on to the internet. I'm not having any great luck determining why it's being deleted, except for the proposed patch I sent you before. If you could help track this down, I'd appreciate it.
