Description of problem:

When trying to connect to vpn from a fresh pantheon install from Fedora 29 Workstation I find that I cannot connect to my imported openvpn connections. These previously worked on gnome.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install pantheon-session-settings switchboard
2. logout and into pantheon session
3. import an ovpn file, require a password but leave it blank so the gui will have to ask you for a password

4. Run `journalctl -xf` and attempt to connect, it will fail
5. You will see the following error:

Failed to request VPN secrets #3: No agents were available for this request.



Actual results:
When pantheon-session-settings and switchboard pull in their dependencies they do not pull in network-manager-applet. It is probably assumed the NetworkManager dependency would pull this in however in the default installation gnome has it's own implementation.

Expected results:

For switchboard-plug-networking or switchboard itself to pull in network-manager-applet as a dependency

Comment 1 Fabio Valentini 2019-03-03 13:25:15 UTC
Interesting. I've had no lock fixing this issue before.

So, installing network-manager-applet fixes enabling VPN connections from Pantheon?

Comment 2 Michael D 2019-03-05 05:02:54 UTC
Yes, I didn't even have to import my vpn settings again.

In my research I found that network-manager-applet calls the 'gksu-like' password prompt, and passes secrets, for when you request to connect to a vpn that requires authentication.

Visual proof

These are obsolete ips of a public locations and a random nordvpn server.
