Bug ID: 409444
Summary: Connecting to WireGuard server fails with missing
plugin
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.16.2
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: applet
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: ki...@vladimiroff.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
This looks like a regression from plasma 5.15.x. I have added wireguard
connection (via the configuration applet) which used to work just fine then.
After 5.16.0 I'm able to connect to it only via `nmcli` (e.g. `nmcli c up
<wireguard-connection-name>`). Simply choosing it from the applet fails with
"Missing VPN plugin" notification.
Funny side-effect after connecting via `nmcli` is that I see the wireguard
connection listed twice under "Active connections" and disconnecting from there
works.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add wireguard connection
2. Try to connect to it using the "Connect" button in the applet from tray area
(for instance)
OBSERVED RESULT
Connection is NOT getting activated and "Missing VPN plugin" notification is
shown instead.
EXPECTED RESULT
WireGuard connection to become active.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma:
KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.59.0
Qt Version: 5.13.0
Kernel version: 5.1.15
OS Type: 64-bit
NetworkManager: 1.18.0
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
To confirm that the issue is not miss-configured NetworkManager and WireGuard:
1. Execute "nmcli c up <name>" to confirm that networkmanager-wireguard is
installed and working
2. Observe the connection listed twice under "Active connection"
3. Confirm that disconnecting works
Looking at journalctl logs of NetworkManager I see no messages whatsoever when
trying to connect via the applet.
