apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected xenial
** Description changed: I have been having a rather serious and incredibly annoying problem on the updated version of network-manager v1.2.6 on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS. Trying to manually connect to my VPN provider using openvpn through the network manager fails literally any time except bootup. Every godforsaken time. Waking the computer from suspend results in the network manager 'reconnecting' but no actual internet connection. Restarting the network manager using 'sudo service network-manager restart' sometimes doesn't work at all and I actually have to reboot the computer for it to connect to the internet. Despite the icon showing that I'm connected, in actuality I have no internet connection and cannot load any web pages. The critical thing is that this issue isn't present at all on v1.2.2, which I have downgraded to and used 'apt-mark hold' to keep it in place. I'm disappointed that the newer default version is so unstable. Any insight or confirmation of this issue would be appreciated. + --- + ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5 + Architecture: amd64 + CurrentDesktop: Unity + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 + EcryptfsInUse: Yes + InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-03-19 (10 days ago) + InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20170215.2) + Package: network-manager 1.2.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.4 + PackageArchitecture: amd64 + Tags: xenial + Uname: Linux 4.9.16 x86_64 + UnreportableReason: The running kernel is not an Ubuntu kernel + UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) + UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin plugdev sambashare sudo + _MarkForUpload: True ** Attachment added: "Dependencies.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1677175/+attachment/4850127/+files/Dependencies.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1677175 Title: network-manager 1.2.6 won't connect to vpn and displays false connected message Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have been having a rather serious and incredibly annoying problem on the updated version of network-manager v1.2.6 on Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS.
