Description Alessio 2021-02-24 22:00:09 UTC 
Description of problem:

It happens on a Live session as well on an installed system.
If there is a DHCP and you modify the network config, i.e. try to set up a static (manual) ipv4 address, or disable ipv6 or whatever, it works.

If there is not a DHCP server on your network, so the connection doesn't have an IP and it is in connecting state, you are unable to modify the network, mainly set up a static ip address. The Apply button remains gray.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-control-center-40~beta-1.fc34.x86_64


How reproducible:

If the connection doesn't have an IP assigned by the DHCP.


Steps to Reproduce:

On bare metal, if there is not a DHCP on your network.

On a VM, with virt-manager, try to create a virtual network deselecting the DHCP. 
Then create a VM with the NIC on this network.
Start a Live (like Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-34-20210222.n.0.iso), you can't set up a manual ipv4, the Apply button remains gray.



Expected results:

You should be able to set up a static ipv4 if there is not a DHCP server on your network.
Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2021-02-24 22:33:59 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 34-final by Fedora user alciregi using the blocker tracking app because:

 I propose this bug as final blocker due to this criteria.

Default panel functionality
All elements of the default panel (or equivalent) configuration in all release-blocking desktops must function correctly in typical use. 

However, it could be a beta blocker as well: if a user can't manually set up the network, it could be a bad experience.

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/963 fixes bug 1936120 for me and I suppose it would fix this one too…

Reopening as it was the F35 fix that went to stable, not F34 one we are tracking here.
