Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn
Can't even get off the starting blocks with this one! Computer- Kubuntu 64-bit, originally Hardy then upgraded a week ago through Intrepid to Jaunty. OpenVPN connection through the little applet worked in Hardy. dpkg -s shows: network-manager: 0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2 network-manager-kde 1:0.7svn864988-0ubuntu8 network-manager-openvpn: 0.7.1~rc4.1.20090323+bzr27-0ubuntu2 networkstatus: 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy3.1 (relevance of this?) plasma-widget-network-manager: 0.0+svn930811-0ubuntu2 lsb_release -rd shows: Ubuntu 9.04 / release 9.04 uname -srmv shows: Linux 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 (This is I hope reasonably vanilla Jaunty with all available updates as at 2009-04-28) To reproduce: 1. Right click NM applet on Plasma panel, Select "Manage connections" 2. Go to VPN tab, select "Add" -> OpenVPN Observed: Connection name: "New VPN Connection" (remember this fact) Gateway: (blacnk, ok) Connection Type: X.509 Certificates CA File: __________________ + open file Username: ______ Password: _______ BAD #1: Connection type is X.509 certs but it is asking for username and password? If you select a different connection type (eg preshared key) then back to X.509 certs, then appears as expected: CA File: ___________________ [file button] Certificate: __________________ [file button] Key: _______________________ [file button] So anyway 3. Toggle the connection type to get the right boxes, Set Connection name to say "Test One" , gateway, and pick the CA Cert, user cert & key Save and OK out of the 4. Single-click on on network status icon Observed: Under "VPN Connections" heading is "Test One" - so far ok. 5. Right click on network status icon and select "Manage Connections", VPN tab, select Test One, and click EDIT Observed: Connection Name: Test One (OK) , Gateway: as before (OK), Connection type: X.509 Certs. But ... have CA File, Username and Password boxes again (BAD #1 again) <sigh> 6. Change connection type to Pre-shared-key and back to X.509 certificates Observed: CA file and (user) Certificate have come back to stored values, but Key field is empty. (BAD #2) 7. Pick the key file again. Also change the connection name to "Test Two", Click OK / OK out. 8. Single click on Network status icon Observed : Under the VPN connections, it is still listed as "Test One" (BAD #3) <sigh again> 9. Right click / Manage connections /VPN/ Test Two (as it is) / Edit 10. Go through all the rigmarole of ensureing the Certificate / key files are set 11. Click on "Optional Information" tab Observed: Port ___ [X] "Use default" is checked, nothing else is checked, all other fields disabled (OK so far but... 12a. Uncheck Use default port - > Port # textbox does not enable 12b. Check "User cipher" -> combo box does not enable 12c. Check "Use TLS Auth" -> nothing changes 12d Check "Only use VPN for these addresses" -> edit box does not enable BAD #4 Summary BAD #1 = Initial state of fields for Certificate files/credentials are wrong (should match whatever initial connection type). On New and edit. BAD #2 = Value of "Key file" apparently not remembered (may be symptom of #1, but it remembers the others) BAD #3 = popup from Network Status icon shows old name even if connection renamed (not sure when it resets, restart of widget?) BAD #4 = Nothing seems to work on the "Optional Information" tab The combination of these pretty much eliminates any attempt by me to use this to attach to my OpenVPN server. I can't even be bothered with it, sorry. (I did write up this bug report though so hopefully the last hour is not completely wasted). ** Affects: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Edit OpenVPN Connectionin Kubuntu Jaunty - multiple UI issues, is useless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/368395 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
