Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager
Bug 278153 was originally about the fact that if the openvpn plugin is not installed, the VPN-related options in networkmanager are just grayed out (http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18218320/screenshot.png) with no indication of why, or what can be done to fix it. Bug 278153 is now about installing the plugins by default which is apparently difficult or controversial. It looks like the GUI does now now whether the plugin is available or not, because it disables the options (rather than eg just crashing or erroring when you try to use them.) So this bug could be fixed by displaying a label in that dialog saying "VPN support is not installed" as well as disabling the controls. It's not perfect but it would at least give people a clue what to do next. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- gui should explain that vpn is not available https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/370210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
