Description m.wege 2018-01-03 01:32:34 UTC
installed version does not appear in the version list. It is: 4:5.11.4+p16.04+git20171223.0044-0 (Neon)

One of the networks I have configured is a network with an invisible SSID. I rarely use it, so it is rather annoying to see that network all the time in network list although it is not present. It would be better if this network only appeared in the list if it was available.
Comment 1 Jan Grulich 2018-01-03 07:37:43 UTC
What's the name of that network? What's the output from "nmcli -f all device show wifi_device_name"?
Comment 2 m.wege 2018-01-03 07:53:48 UTC
The name of the network is Freibeuter!

Output is for one month at 
https://paste.kde.org/pzposexuc/oo9mvu
Comment 3 Jan Grulich 2018-01-03 08:25:16 UTC
Would be better to attach the output here in a text file. Or share with me the password to that paste.
Comment 4 m.wege 2018-01-03 08:43:54 UTC
I sent you a mail
Comment 5 Jan Grulich 2018-01-03 08:51:31 UTC
Was the connection "Freibeuter" visible in the applet at the time when you posted the output? Can you please also include output from https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Solid/Plasma-nm#My_connection_in_the_applet_shows_wrong_information?
Comment 6 m.wege 2018-01-03 10:15:57 UTC
Freibeuter was visible in the applet, yes. I sent you the output via Mail again.
Comment 7 Jan Grulich 2018-01-03 10:42:30 UTC
Please, always attach the outputs here, I don't really want to read them in the email separately.

I need the debug output from restarted plasmashell after you enable plasma-nm debug messages. It's described in the link above.

Created attachment 109647 [details]
Debug output

BTW: The Network Freibeuter! has the Connectionname "Dominik Main"
Comment 9 Jan Grulich 2018-01-03 12:06:38 UTC
Ok, then it explain everything. From the nmcli output you sent me you can see that "Dominik main" connection is marked as available, which means that NM thinks you can connect to it and thuse we show it in the applet. This is unfortunately not a problem in plasma-nm, but in NM (in case the connection is not available) and you should report your problem to NM directly.
Comment 10 m.wege 2018-01-03 12:19:50 UTC
Where do I exactly report it to? I found https://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/, but no bug reporting there.
