Hello,
i have imported a client config. The procedure was to place the wireguard
client config as /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
Then i did
nmcli connection import type wireguard file /etc/wireguard/wg0.conf
This worked so far and the connection was immediately established with the
remote system.
After import i wanted to rename the connection using the nm applet (Plasma)
from wg0 to something else. The reason was to get a speaking name to identify
the connection like it was possible for other VPNs like OpenVPN.
But this fails. It tells something like "save failed because of invalid name".
Any hints ?
System: Debian 12.1 (stable, up to date)
regards
Petric
