This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase
(In reply to Jan Kurik from comment #1) > This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora > 24 development cycle. > Changing version to '24'. This is still present in F25; please update the version (I don't have permission to do so). Should perhaps be reassigned to the nm-applet component though.
Moved this to networkmanager-openconnect, as the log seems to be related to OpenConnect (not OpenVPN) and NetworkManager seems to be in play.
Tapio (the original reporter) or Daniel, would you please describe the problem more precisely if you still see that. The description is quite confusing. It talks about openvpn and the logs denote openconnect. And the logs and description indicates gnome-shell applet is used to activate the connection, while comment #2 mentions nm-applet. Please describe how you activate VPN connection, what type of VPN it is, what behaviour do you experience. You can attach the connection profile: $ nmcli -f vpn con show <VPN connection name> and NetworkManager logs $ sudo journalctl -b 0 -u NetworkMananger
Hi, I no longer have the setup where I saw this problem, so cannot help in testing anymore.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '24'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 24 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 24 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-08-08. Fedora 24 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
