[Bug 1426138] [NEW] Recent 12.04 update disables "Edit Connections" and VPNs

 

Public bug reported:

Today's Ubuntu 12.04 update has diabled Network Manager's "Edit
Connections" and "VPN Connections / Configure VPN".  They are both
greyed out.  I had one machine that had that problem today, and by
manually updating another laptop and restarting nm-applet, the laptop
went from working to greyed out too.
