Description Jirka Klimes 2012-10-16 11:58:29 UTC

When no VPN plugins are installed and you run nm-connection-editor and click "Add" button to add a new connection, the editor crashes with error:
"Unknown type NMVpnPluginUiInterface specified in treemodel new_connection_combo_model"

The workaround is to install a VPN plugin.

Jirka says an automatic connection to wifi network works on LiveCD, but you can't set it manually. Might be a final blocker.

The update was pushed stable, and I just tested in Beta RC1, cannot reproduce - booting live desktop, running nm-connection-editor and clicking Add works fine. Closing.
