Hello,

I am trying to spoof my MAC with networkmanager. I am very new to qubes and I am still under the learning process.

I have been stuck at spoofing my MAC all days running into issues and tackling them with different solutions from googling. But now I'm stuck with the Network Manager.

Acording to the dom0 terminal I have networkmanager 1.0. 12-2. fc23 version. But when trying to update it says ''Network-manager is already the newest version (1.6.2-3)''.

I am still unable to change any network manager settings, I can't find network manager in my system tray and can't find any application on my laptop named Network Manager.

I am following this guide without any success: https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/anonymizing-your-mac-address/

I've tried googling around alot and it's not an uncommon issue. But the forums/guides are not about Qubes OS. Lots of people mention np-applet but command can't be found on my Dom0 terminal. It's probably an Ubunto solution but not for me.

Well beginner mistake. It was as easy as just right clicking the network icon and press edit connections.

Next issue is ''Cloned MAC adress'' is not a dropdown where you can press ''Random''option. I'll google it and find a solution if not just typing ''Random'' is enough.

My Cloned MAC address selections look just like the picture in

. Not yours?

Yea it does now, I had to upgrade something I remember for solving it. Before there was no dropdown menu and only a type box.

Thanks for being active looking out!
