I also discovered that a password _change_ on an existing OpenVPN connection does not get saved after clicking Apply on the connection configuration pane. The connections in question are imported from *.openvpn file provided by multiple OpenVPN service providers. Bulk transfer as requested in T17796 Hi Aslam, Thanks for the bug report, and I'm very sorry we weren't able to get to this until now. A lot has changed since the issue was reported; can I ask you to check and see if it still happens in Plasma 6.3.5 or later? Thanks a lot!

I'm on Kubuntu 24.04 which has Plasma 5.27.12, and I do see the issue. You can upgrade to Kubuntu 25.04, which includes Plasma 6.3. (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #5) > You can upgrade to Kubuntu 25.04, which includes Plasma 6.3. To avoid frequent upgrade pains, I prefer to stick to LTS releases unless it's absolutely necessary to upgrade to an interim release. I suggest this be marked RESOLVED if it was tested and found to be fixed in Plasma 6.3. If someone finds that it isn't then they can report it as a new issue in the appropriate Plasma version. In my experience, upgrade pains are generally *caused* by waiting a long time before upgrading, rather than alleviated by that strategy. At least for discrete release distros. This kind of thing can be difficult to test as VPN configurations are very personal, which is why I was asking if you could re-test it yourself on Plasma 6.

At least for > discrete release distros. OK, though I'd expect LTS to LTS version upgrades to be relatively painless. Anyways, I won't have the bandwidth to do it for at least another month from now. > This kind of thing can be difficult to test as VPN configurations are very > personal, which is why I was asking if you could re-test it yourself on > Plasma 6. I'm testing with one of ProtonVPN's free OpenVPN server config files (UDP) for GNU/Linux, using a free protonvpn.com account. See https://protonvpn.com/support/vpn-config-download#how-to-download-configuration-files. After creating the connection from the config file, its username and password should be set to the OpenVPN/IKEv2 username and password from the Account tab on the web console at https://account.protonvpn.com. Updated versions in the title. Current versions: Operating System: Kubuntu 24.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.12 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.13 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-60-generic (64-bit) I'm not able to reproduce the bug with git-master, using a config file for Proton VPN, udp After saving my password, I'm able to see it in the UI, so it's been stored in my default wallet The wallet and secret management has undergone some rewrites that will be included in 6.5.0, some of the improvements are also in 6.4.5. Sadly, openvpn connections may or may not work, even without a password needed, see bug 479937 I'm going to go ahead and close this for now, since it looks to be fixed If you are able to reproduce this with Plasma 6.4.5 or later, feel free to reopen this report. |
