Yeah, it's not limited to VPN. I use two adapters as well; each gets an entry in the main menu along with a few basic options, as well as (for WiFi) the first few nearby access points. The sub-menu is only needed if the access point I want isn't among the top few. (With Ethernet adapters, I don't have a sub- menu at all; everything is in the main menu.) So while that sub-menu is also usually broken / not available, I don't always need it.
With VPN, everything to do with VPN is in the sub-menu. So if sub-menus are broken, I lose all functionality. Obviously, fixing the bug would be best. But this bug is over two years old; it sounds like either the package is not being actively maintained (in which case we're sunk) or the developer doesn't know how to approach this issue (which is fair -- it could be in an underlying library, some really obscure race condition, etc) in which case maybe a simpler patch that helps some of us a lot would be better than nothing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779754 Title: NM status icon sometimes not clickable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/779754/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
