mondjunge's questions

Working with ubuntu 20.04, upgraded from 18.04 some time ago.

I need to be connected to my companys vpn, so I installed nm-connection-manager and configured my "Wired Connection 1" to always connect to vpn when connected and to automatically connect to "Wired Connection 1" if available. I also noticed a wired connection called "netplan-enp0s34f6", with IPv6 disabled. I deleted this connection.

On the next reboot, the wired "netplan" connection was back, with a slightly different name "netplan-enp0s98d3" or similar, and connected by default.

So I thought: "ok, I use that connection then", configured it to connect automatically to vpn and thought nothing bad.

The next day I booted up my laptop and the "old" "netplan-enp0s98d3" connection was away and a new "netplan-XXX" connection in place, rendering all my "auto vpn connection"-configuration useless.

What is going on? How can I use my "Wired Connection 1" with IPv6 and auto vpn connection all the time?

Why is Gnome creating and dropping network connctions on every boot? Why are they called "netplan-*" ?

How can I disable this behaviour?

Any help appreciated.

This might be an odd question, but I like to know how to make file-roller except odt files to be opened.

I am working pretty much with odt files as templates. I need to open them quite often and look into the containing xml files for some nerdy developer reasons.

In the past (12.04 and before) file-roller would open odt files without problem (since they are simple zip compressed files with an other ending). In 14.04 and 16.04 I had to do some magic (I do not recall) via gconf-editor to make file-roller open those odt files without renaming them to a .zip ending.

Now I am on 18.04 and there is not much configuration left in gconf and I cannot find anything related in dconf either.

So could somebody please enlighten me on how file-roller determines that ".odt" is a not-supported fileytype or a solution on how to teach file-roller to open my odt files without renaming them beforehand.

I already tried to add odt to the zip section in /etc/mime.types, but this does not seem to have any impact on file-roller.

Many thx for any hints into the right direction.

I use Nemo, but same with nautilus.
