I'll see if we can get the checkbox removed which is the main issue now -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280571 Title: NetworkManager does not auto-connect to VPNs marked "Connect Automatically" Status in NetworkManager: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “network-manager” package in Debian: New Bug description: VPN connections marked "Connect Automatically" are not activated when a wired or wireless network becomes available.
