Description:
Activating a VPN connection through the dropdown menu fails with the message "Cannot specify device when activating VPN". The VPN is not activated as a result. Additional info: This was observed using a configured OpenVPN profile. Several profiles are configured (OpenVPN) and all fail the same way. I don't have access to other VPNs using different protocols. * network-manager-applet 1.8.14-1 * networkmanager-openvpn 1.8.4 Seen upstream: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=903109 Steps to reproduce: - Have a configured VPN profile that can be activated via the dropdown menu in the applet (under 'VPN Connections') - Make sure there is a working network interface connected to a network - Browse to the VPN profile and click to activate - See message. Workaround: use nmcli or another applet. Example nmcli: nmcli connection up <profile_name (from upstream bug comments) |
