** Description changed: Steps to reproduce: (0) Install Bionic desktop (1) Observe that only PPTP connection type is available when adding a VPN in the UI (using any method). (2) Run `sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn`. (3) Observe that in the top panel "VPN Settings" option, clicking the "+" next to "VPN" does not reveal any new VPN type options. (4) Run `nm-connection-editor` from the command-line, and observe that not only is there no option to add an OpenVPN connection, but in addition, the following message is printed on the console: ** Message: vpn: (openvpn,/usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-openvpn- service.name) file "libnm-vpn-plugin-openvpn.so" not found. Did you install the client package? + + Installing `network-manager-openvpn-gnome` seems to do the right thing, + but the process of finding what should be installed isn't obvious to the + user. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1744015 Title: [bionic] Locating necessary Network Manager plugins (for example, OpenVPN) is not a good experience To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1744015/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
