Debian's network-manager-applet 1.8.10-4 has dropped libnm-gtk-dev and libnm-gtk0.
While that's not necessarily going to be done for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, I believe you still need to update unity-control-center so that the VPN features will work there. ** Changed in: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1744619 Title: Transitioning GNOME away from libnm-glib Status in network-manager-iodine package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager-l2tp package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager-pptp package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in network-manager-vpnc package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Debian has dropped libnm-glib support from most of its VPN plugins. We need to cherry-pick the gnome-shell 3.26.2-4 changes for gnome- shell to properly interact with VPNs. unity-control-center will need to be ported away from libnm-glib for it to display VPNs. The only other known affected desktop is Cinnamon which has fixes "pending" Here's the Debian transition bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=pkg-utopia-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org;tag=libnm At first look, KDE Plasma did not seem to be hurt by the libnm-glib support removal, but Kubuntu should probably check more closely. I am filing this bug to coordinate this transition and keep the VPN plugins in -proposed until we at least update gnome-shell.
