Description of problem: I am unable to create a new "Cisco Compatible VPN" connection. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1:1.2.8-1.fc36 How reproducible: Everytime. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open "Network Settings" in Gnome. 2. Click the "+" next to the VPN heading and the "Add VPN" modal appears. 3. Choose "Cisco Compatible VPN (vpnc)" option. 4. Fill in "Gateway", "User name" and "Group name" 5. Click "Add" button in the window header (top right). Actual results: The new VPN connection is never added (lacks in the UI, but presumably not only in the UI). The system log (journalctl --since "1 minutes ago" -f) shows the following: ... Mar 16 15:09:32 hostname gnome-control-c[78883]: Failed to add connection: connection.interface-name: '': interface name must not be empty ... Expected results: The new VPN connection would be added and useable. Additional info: I can add PPTP VPN connections just fine, so it is very likely specific to vpnc and not all types of VPN.
I think this problem is recorded in the following upstream issue: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/982 possible duplicate (+ proposed workaround: bug 2065053)
I am having the same issue, on Fedora 38.
