How to report a bug

Go to bugs.kde.org and choose plasma-nm product. If your bug is related to the applet (e.g. some information is not displayed correctly) then select "applet" component, if your bug is related to the editor (e.g. you are unable to save your connection or edit some option) then select "editor" component, otherwise choose "general" component if you are not sure where your issue should belong. When providing description, try to provide as much information you can. This should include plasma-nm and NetworkManager versions, because this is typically our first question. Also, if your issue is similar/related to the ones mentioned below, provide please information as described below.

Plasma-nm doesn't remember my password

Check whether plasma-nm kded module is running (in case of Plasma 5)

if `qdbus org.kde.kded5 /kded org.kde.kded5.loadedModules | grep networkmanagement > /dev/null`; then echo "running"; else echo "not running"; fi

Check whether plasma-nm kded module is running (in case of KDE 4)

if `qdbus org.kde.kded /kded org.kde.kded.loadedModules | grep networkmanagement > /dev/null`; then echo "running"; else echo "not running"; fi

Provide NetworkManager log and don't forget to add it as an attachment, nobody want's to read full log as a comment

journalctl -u NetworkManager --since today

Use nmcli to get information about your connection (replace your_connection_name by an actual name)

nmcli connection show your_connection_name

My connection in the applet shows wrong information

This includes wrong connection state (e.g. the connecting indicator keeps spinning), wrong information in the connection details, wrong icon and so on. This is usually caused by NetworkManager which either sends us a wrong information over DBus or it doesn't send it at all, but it may be also an issue in plasma-nm, where we don't react on this change properly. Here are few useful information which should help us to debug this issue.
