Description Andrey Borzenkov 2010-07-10 19:31:29 UTC
Version:           0.9 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

KDE 4.5 RC1, knetworkmanager compiled from SVN, r1148396.

Plasma applet looks really nice, but I have no way to initiate my VPN connection that was defined earlier. It is not listed on Connections pane on left click. I do not have any other user connections, only system ones.

VPN connection definition:

{pts/1}% cat ~/.kde4/share/config/networkmanagementrc 
[Connection_{3107f4bb-bd0d-4bed-b708-548c4259f5a6}]
LastUsed=2010,3,6,10,16,50
Name=xxxx
Type=vpn

Reproducible: Always

The same is true for DSL (PPPoE) connections.  Makes configuring them rather useless if you ask me.  (Didn't work in KDE 4.4 either.)
Comment 2 Lamarque V. Souza 2011-03-28 19:54:50 UTC
I am using VPN connection without this problem in the latest Plasma NM snapshot. Can you test the latest snapshot and check if it works for you?
Comment 3 Malte S. Stretz 2011-03-29 08:32:32 UTC
Connecting to VPNs works fine for me, I do this every day.  DSL/PPPoE still doesn't though, I cloned this bug to bug 269669 to track that issue.
