Version: (using KDE 4.4.0) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages VPN does not connect automatically. I set up an openvpn connection which works. Unfortunately knetworkmanager won't connect to it without me clicking the vpn connection. Of course i have enabled "connect automatically" in the vpn connections properties. Using Kubuntu Lucid with amd64.
I think it's NetworkManager's issue (not kNM): https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349151 (this feature doesn't work, but there is workaround)

This is upstream bug: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=622868 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349151 It is the NetworkManager daemon that triggers the connection start if auto-connect is configured. The NM clients (Plasma NM and nm-applet) just save the configuration.
