Public bug reported:
I have been having a rather serious and incredibly annoying problem on the
updated version of network-manager v1.2.6 on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS. Trying to
manually connect to my VPN provider using openvpn through the network manager
fails literally any time except bootup. Every godforsaken time. Waking the
computer from suspend results in the network manager 'reconnecting' but no
actual internet connection. Restarting the network manager using 'sudo service
network-manager restart' sometimes doesn't work at all and I actually have to
reboot the computer for it to connect to the internet. Despite the icon showing
that I'm connected, in actuality I have no internet connection and cannot load
any web pages.
The critical thing is that this issue isn't present at all on v1.2.2, which I
have downgraded to and used 'apt-mark hold' to keep it in place. I'm
disappointed that the newer default version is so unstable. Any insight or
confirmation of this issue would be appreciated.
