What version of plasma-nm do you have? Where do you have stored secrets, is that in KWallet? (In reply to Jan Grulich from comment #1) > What version of plasma-nm do you have? Application: plasma-nm/editor Version: 0.9.3.3 Using NM version: 0.9.8.8 > Where do you have stored secrets, is that in KWallet? Yes, I looked in kde wallet manager, shows vpn entries under 'Network management / Maps'. This is unfortunately behavior of NetworkManager. It keeps trying to activate your connections again and again until you stop it. Another problem is that when you tie a VPN connection with another connection then when it fails to activate that VPN connection it also automatically fails to activate the connection used as a base for the VPN connection. This is something we can't fix on our side. What I see as a problem on our side is the one with failing to get secrets for your VPN connection. Would it be possible for you to update to the latest version of plasma-nm? There were many fixes regarding storing/loading secrets and so on. I believe that this issue is already solved, password storing/loading has been improved since plasma-nm 0.9.3.3. Reopen this bugzilla if you are able to reproduce this issue with plasma-nm 0.9.3.5.
