SUMMARY When configuring an OpenConnect VPN it shows the item in the network manager. Lets your configure it. Lets you even click connect. But nothing happens, no error, nothing. This occurs for many of the other VPN types as well. Come to find out after digging around, this is because the package is completely missing. Once I installed OpenConnect it worked. It shouldn't show the option if its not available, but at minimal it should at least give you an error if its not available instead of just doing nothing. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Fresh KDE Neon Install attempt to setup an OpenConnect VPN connection 2. Click Connect 3. Nothing happens, no error or anything OBSERVED RESULT No error, no connection, just nothing. EXPECTED RESULT Should not show OpenConnect as an available option if package is missing, should at least show error if package is missing. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: MacOS: Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I see multiple tickets where this was marked as resolved. This is definitely not resolved I tested again on a clean VM and it had exact behavior.
Hi, I think I already mentioned this in some other bug, but this is an issue on packaging level, we do check only for our missing plugins, but not for missing NetworkManager plugins, because there is no way how to search them.
I see that each NM plugin installs a service file, maybe I can use that, let me try to look into this more.
Created attachment 118577 [details] attachment-13320-0.html This works in ElementaryOS perfectly. They only list the ones that you can actually use. Perhaps look at how they are doing it?
