Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux "System connection" checkbox in connection settings is always gray. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open System Settings under user. 2. Open Network Settings. 3. Try to edit any connection (wireless in my case). 4. Try to check "System connection" checkbox. Actual Results: It's impossible because this checkbox isn't availble. Expected Results: Checkbox is availble. After I check this checkbox or when I press Apply, "Network Settings" should request password. In Gnome this checkbox is available. After I check this checkbox, "Network Settings" is request password.
This is already working in the latest snapshot. I think Ubuntu guys decided to disable the checkbox because changing between user <-> system scope is not well tested yet. Creating user or system connections from scratch works without problems. Can you test if the checkbox is enabled if you try to create a new connection?
No, It didn't work even for new connection. There is any way to enable/disable this feature after compiltation?
The checkbox has always been enabled even when system connections did not work at all. Someone beside us disabled that checkbox.

In the March 23 snapshot at least, the checkbox definitely was grayed out, and we did not do anything in Fedora packaging to gray it out, we just shipped it as released upstream. Of course, current snapshots (which are now available as official stable updates for Fedora 14 and 15) have actually working system connection support, and the checkbox is no longer grayed out.

Ok, I looked at the git logs and in fact the checkbox was enabled in April 14th of this year when I first commited the implementation when I closed this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=204340. Before that date it was disabled indeed, so sorry for the misinformation. If after April 14 it is still greyed out then or you are using an older snapshot or somebody else has disabled it.
