[Bug 1415536] Re: nm-applet does nothing when attempting to open a VPN connection

 

Somehow, after changing the name of the VPN connection, the
corresponding file in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ got
recreated and now I am unable to reproduce the bug as unfortunately I
have not made a copy of the previous file. My best guess is that
something went wrong with the previous configuration file and nm-applet
was failing to open the correct dialog form. If I encounter the bug
again, I will try to dig more deeply into the issue.

Title:
  nm-applet does nothing when attempting to open a VPN connection

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a VPN connection configured. When I go on the network manager
  and click on "VPN Connections" -> "MyVPN", I would expect a dialog to
  open and allow me to connect to the VPN, but instead nothing happens.
  No error message is given. Just nothing at all. If I instead click on
  "VPN Connections" -> "Configure VPN...", the "Network Connections"
  dialog shows and I am able to edit the parameters of the VPN
  connection, but I am still not able to open the VPN dialog to initiate
  the connection.
