Description of problem: Xfce's NetworkManager fails to create some specific connections, because two libraries are missing from the set of packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-25_Beta-1.1.iso How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot Fedora 25 Xfce. 2.Attempt to create a new VPN Connection (openconnect, openvpn or pptp) via NetworkManager Actual results: 1. A dialog tells that some libraries are missing (libnm-vpn-plugin-openconnect-editor.so and libnm-vpn-plugin-pptp-editor.so) Expected results: 1. NetworkManager should display its handy wizards as usually. Additional info: Installing packages "NetworkManager-openconnect-gnome" and "NetworkManager-pptp-gnome.x86_64 1:1.2.4-1.fc25" solves the issue.
The fix seems easy to me, so... I'm proposing this as FE for Fedora 25, because it might be a little violation of the "2.4.7 Default panel functionality" Release Criterion. "All elements of the default panel (or equivalent) configuration in all release-blocking desktops must function correctly in typical use." However, the key question is... ..."Would this bug cause significant inconvenience or just a really bad first impression to a typical user or reviewer of the release?" https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_25_Final_Release_Criteria#Default_panel_functionality
There's no need for a FE here... Beta is already signed off on, so there won't be any more changes there. I can add this for post beta. However, on question: should we install all of those? NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome.x86_64 NetworkManager-pptp-gnome.x86_64 NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome.x86_64 NetworkManager-fortisslvpn-gnome.x86_64 NetworkManager-iodine-gnome.x86_64 NetworkManager-l2tp-gnome.x86_64 NetworkManager-libreswan-gnome.x86_64 NetworkManager-openconnect-gnome.x86_64 NetworkManager-ssh-gnome.x86_64 NetworkManager-sstp-gnome.x86_64 NetworkManager-strongswan-gnome.x86_64 I'm not sure how much larger that might make things, but I guess we could...
Discussed during the 2016-10-24 blocker review meeting: [1] The decision to classify this bug as an AcceptedFreezeException was made as this would be good to fix for the Xfce release. [1] https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-blocker-review/2016-10-24/f25-blocker-review.2016-10-24-16.01.txt
Filed https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/pull-request/65 to fix this issue for Xfce. It might be other desktops also have this issue if anyone cares. ;)
PR was merged.
I have the same issue using Cinnamon after upgrading from 24 to 25 Can't connect at all or edit any openconnect VPN connections.
Well, I fixed this for Xfce. ;) Cinnamon maintainers will have to do similarly. Can you please file a new bug against Cinnamon? Thanks.
Issue occurs on Fedora 27 LXDE as well.
