Description Yichao Yu 2012-06-09 00:34:06 UTC 
When logging in with a connected vpn connection. The plasma widget cannot recognize it. 'Managing connection' is fine and restarting plasma-desktop can "fix" it.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make a vpn connection (probably system connection or any vpn connection that can maintain after logging out.)
2. log out
3. log in

Actual Results:  
the plasma widget shows not connected (though it is connected)

Expected Results:  
~~ should say it is connected ~~

There will be some really weird behavior if I try to "reconnect" the existing connection.

Which Plasma NM version do you use? You can see the version in "Manage Connections" -> "Other".

Comment 5 Lamarque V. Souza 2012-06-22 00:20:19 UTC 
Can you check if Plasma NM 0.9.0.3 fixes this problem for you?
Comment 6 Yichao Yu 2012-06-22 07:24:25 UTC 
Sorry I am not able to use 0.9.0.3 due to a problem on [openconnect support](https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30398)
(plasma-nm 0.9.0.3 with my current version of nm support neither openconnect 1:3.18 or 1:4.00)
Comment 7 Lamarque V. Souza 2012-07-17 17:13:22 UTC 
Well, I have teste it here and the problem seems fixed. Reopen the bug if it happens again.
Comment 8 Yichao Yu 2012-07-17 17:19:06 UTC 
THX, will test when new networkmanager release is available.
