Trouble Accessing Network Manage

[e.sparks15]

Hello!

I am having trouble anonymizing my MAC address -- the documentation says that I need to go into the Network Manager in the tray on my sys-net Qube, but I can't find NM anywhere. I can access it via the terminal, and have been able to use [[sudo NetworkManager -V]] in both sys-net and dom0, so I know it's there, but I don't know how to access it.

If it's of any help, when I check the version in dom0 it gives 1.4.6-1fc25, but in sys-net it gives 1.15.4-1fc30. Also, I added "network-manager" into the net-sys qube via the "Services" tab in that Qube's settings, but that didn't seem to change anything.

I've looked through the FAQs, I've searched the web, and I've phoned a friend. I've looked over the documentation, too, but I'm sorry to say that it's beyond my ability to understand at this point*. I've played around with it on my own for a number hours, but I'm just out of my depth here. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks so much!

*If anyone can point me towards a place where I could start learning this stuff, that would also be amazing :)

Take a look for "nmcli" in sys-net which allows you to perform command
line operations on the NetworkManager service.

There should also be a icon/control on your tasksbar that looks like two
computers. Right click that icon to get the menu and select "edit
connections".

Hi Steve,

Sorry to take so long to get back to you. There was an insane project at work and I didn't have the time to look at this until now.

This is really helpful! I now have the MAC addresses anonymized -- the two computers icon wouldn't show up until after I did the nmcli stuff you recommended and then only when I open a second networked qube. Which is weird but hey, it works now!

Thanks again my friend!
