TBH, I get tired of filing bugs only to see problems persist across multiple releases of Ubuntu Linux. Frequently bugs don't even get acknowledged (or they get ignored after it becomes clear that it's not a 5 second fix) and 6-12 months later the first acknowledgement is "hey, the new release is coming out, is this bug still present in that release?", which among other things presumes I am willing to upgrade to a pre-release. > or > did you look for one that was already filed? Again, nope (net yet). TBH, about this particular issue, I don't see the point. It's clear that NM is quite buggy, that such a basic issue exists in it. And even if I did find a bug filed about it already, what would that solve for me? It wouldn't fix the issue I have in Lucid currently and even if it did, and if there was a fix, through the whole complicated process it takes to get an update into Ubuntu now, it would likely not show up for months. I can't wait months. It's just easier to push a buggy piece of software aside (when you can) and carry on with things they way they were before the buggy software showed up, like using /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/openvpn/*. > It would be very helpful if > you could either search quickly I am sorry, but I really don't have the time. I already spend way too much of my life reading, following and helping with other bugs in so many other pieces of software that I don't have time to add yet another one -- one for which I can work-around quite easily. I'm sorry to be so unhelpful on this, but while it's an annoyance, it has an easy work-around and I can spend my time working on other things that don't have such easy work-arounds, or with even spend some time my family, etc. Again, sorry to be so unhelpful, but I am already stretched way too thin. -- NetworkManager does not auto-connect to VPNs marked "Connect Automatically" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280571 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
