nmcli and system-connections

[Alex <mysqlstudent@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've just upgraded a fedora39 server to fedora40 and my network stopped working because I was still using the legacy network-scripts ifcfg format.

I've gone through the migration using nmcli but not all connections were migrated properly and no files were written to /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections. The directory is empty.

Any idea why this may have happened? The connections are there:

# nmcli c
NAME                UUID                                  TYPE      DEVICE
br0                 bc8c06e1-de8a-45cb-b011-ee517f316527  bridge    br0    
eth1                25253a0c-a37f-4fbf-821b-167cb4a4c2d9  ethernet  eth1  
Wired connection 1  d689f70c-1b64-370d-aa18-cf4bb8fb38c3  ethernet  eth0  
lo                  74c10aaf-3f2b-4e18-a751-d0bd601dbf7b  loopback  lo    
virbr0              a8bd63ea-f45e-4230-aaff-882bfa1c16fd  bridge    virbr0
vnet0               03e4e6cc-c720-4f93-8189-ecde725292b4  tun       vnet0  
Wired connection 2  3f23946f-954b-3760-bfc8-2df420e6d503  ethernet  --    

However, I also have virtual interfaces on eth1:1 and others. What are the next steps?

# nmcli c migrate
Connection 'lo' (74c10aaf-3f2b-4e18-a751-d0bd601dbf7b) successfully migrated.
Connection 'Wired connection 1' (d689f70c-1b64-370d-aa18-cf4bb8fb38c3) successfully migrated.
Connection 'Wired connection 2' (3f23946f-954b-3760-bfc8-2df420e6d503) successfully migrated.
Connection 'br0' (bc8c06e1-de8a-45cb-b011-ee517f316527) successfully migrated.
Connection 'virbr0' (a8bd63ea-f45e-4230-aaff-882bfa1c16fd) successfully migrated.
Connection 'vnet0' (03e4e6cc-c720-4f93-8189-ecde725292b4) successfully migrated.
Connection 'eth1' (25253a0c-a37f-4fbf-821b-167cb4a4c2d9) successfully migrated.

I've also tried "nmcli con reload". I also had to manually bring up eth1 with ifconfig.
