network manager - Why nm-tool is no longer available in Ubuntu 15.04?


Why is the nm-tool command line tool not available in Ubuntu 15.04?



Please read the 2015-01-27 changelog for network manager. A snippet form all the changes ...



network-manager (0.9.10.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium



  • New upstream release.

  • Exclude libtool .la files from list-missing.

  • Update symbols files.

  • Update Build-Depends as per configure.ac.

  • Build and install nmtui, a curses-based interface for easier console
    operation.

  • Install new device plugins.

  • Stop installing the nm-tool binary which was dropped upstream as it has been replaced by the much more powerful nmcli tool.



The name of what you want is nmcli.


Besides that there is a new tool call nmtui:



network-manager (0.9.10.0-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  • Exclude libtool .la files from list-missing.

  • Update symbols files.

  • Update Build-Depends as per configure.ac.

  • Build and install nmtui, a curses-based interface for easier console
    operation.



From the manual page for nmtui:



nmtui — Text User Interface for controlling NetworkManager


nmtui [edit | connect | hostname] [...]
nmtui-edit [connection-id | connection-name]
nmtui-connect [connection-name | connection-uuid | device-name | Wi-Fi-SSID]
nmtui-hostname
