Hi - I can reproduce this on Fedora KDE 41. Thanks! Confirming that this is still present in the following version: Operating System: Fedora Linux 42 KDE Plasma Version: 6.4.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.17.0 Qt Version: 6.9.1 Kernel Version: 6.16.4-200.fc42.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland KDE Settings Version: 42.0-3.fc42 Seems like a filename parsing issue. When shortening the character count to less than 15 characters, it properly identifies it as a Wireguard.conf Possible solutions: -- Separate Import options for the different VPN Types so the user can select what they are importing -- A popup that says Wireguard Config names need to be less than 15 characters and no whitespaces (this seems to be a WG requirement) |
Created attachment 179432 [details] Fake, but valid, Wireguard configuration file SUMMARY Importing a WireGuard conf file fails when any of the following conditions occurs: - The filename exceeds 15 characters long. - The filename contains blanks. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a WireGuard conf file and save it as vpn.conf. You can also use the attached fake vpn.conf file. 2. Go to NetworkManager editor and click on the plus sign to "Add a new connection". 3. Choose the "Import VPN connection..." option at the bottom within the Other section. 4. This will succeed. 5. Rename the file as "123456789123456.conf" and repeat steps 1 to 3. It should show an error with the message "Failed to import VPN connection: The file to import wasn’t a valid OpenVPN client configuration". 6. Rename the file as "12345678912345.conf" and repeat steps 1 to 3. It should work! 7. Rename the file as "vpn 1.conf" and repeat steps 1 to 3. It should fail with the same error message as in step 5. OBSERVED RESULT Only when filenames don't contain blanks and are 15 or less characters long, importing conf files succeeds. EXPECTED RESULT It should work with any filename of any length supported by the OS.
