Comment 3 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2022-09-08 13:00:40 UTC
Proposed as a Blocker for 37-final by Fedora user lnie using the blocker tracking app because:

 This affects:
For all release-blocking desktop / arch combinations, the following applications must start successfully and withstand a basic functionality test

Comment 4 David Sommerseth 2022-09-08 13:25:10 UTC
From what I can grasp from the screencasts, this is related to the GUI front-end of OpenVPN - which is handled by the NetworkManager OpenVPN plug-in (NetworkManager-openvpn)

Comment 5 Michael Catanzaro 2022-09-10 02:25:19 UTC
Sep 08 06:32:44 ovpn-12-35.pek2.redhat.com gnome-shell[2075]: JS WARNING: [resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/core/overrides/Gio.js 287]: Too many arguments to method Gio.AsyncInitable.init_async: expected 3, got 4

Is that related to the failure, or is that unrelated?

Problem is I don't see any attempt to disable the VPN in the logs at all, so I kinda suspect a gnome-shell bug maybe? Not clear what component is to blame here.

Comment 6 Adam Williamson 2022-09-12 17:10:37 UTC
I can reproduce this here. But if I go to Control Center's Network pane, I can turn the connection off fine. So it seems this is only broken from the Shell top-right menu, there's something specific to that path.

Comment 7 Adam Williamson 2022-09-12 17:12:04 UTC
Sending back to gnome-shell at least for now.

Comment 8 Adam Williamson 2022-09-12 19:18:21 UTC
Looks like this was filed upstream as https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/5779 and fixed with https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2426 . I just checked, and it does work for me with gnome-shell-43~rc-2.fc37.x86_64 , so I think https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2022-50e585b456 (the 43-rc mega-update) probably fixed this.

Lili, can you update GNOME to 43-rc and try again? Thanks!

Comment 9 lnie 2022-09-13 02:00:13 UTC
Checked with 43-rc,didn't see this bug any more.

Discussed during the 2022-09-12 blocker review meeting: [0]

The decision to classify this bug as an "AcceptedBlocker (Final)" was made as it violates the following criterion:

"All elements of the default panel (or equivalent) configuration in all release-blocking desktops must function correctly in typical use"
