Well, at least a grayed message in the big empty area of the tab should
tell the user to install some packages, but definitely suggesting and
automatically installing packages as for languages, browser plugins and
media codecs, would be more just works.

I'm glad you have things sorted, and I think you suggestion is a good
one. We are obviously way beyond feature freeze for Intrepid, but this
feedback can be considered for Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04). I will file a
separate enhancement bug.
Devin McBride, are you still seeing this behaviour and if so
Pete, thank you for clarifying the issue. I think that for intrepid
there is still time to add some greyed-out message to the interface that
says to enable the add button, please install the packages x,y,z.
Users will think that vpn is broken when they see the dialog that way.
At worst, this can
like myself who are just not picking up linux.
Thank you for your help,

Hmmm... I have not done a fresh install since Alpha 3, but this has been
working for me for a while now. Here are the packages I have installed:

Don't have time right now but I will try to install some VPN software
later. At the moment I don't have any VPN package installed and the

Let me ask again: am I supposed to have extra packages installed or am I

Btw, this is what I get in the shell if I switch to the VPN tab:

OK, another EDIT: you can install network-manager-openvpn and then the
Add button becomes active and everything seems to work.
Sorry for the misunderstanding but I had no idea that you had to install
that package, I always used the Cisco client. May I say in this
situation that it would be nice
I don't see this problem with updated intrepid, at least not with
openvpn. Can anyone else confirm so that bug can be closed?

The problem is definitely there and it persists for me. Again, in the
VPN tab I do NOT have an active Add button. I have not been able to
activate a VPN connection with this GUI yet.

Maybe there is a misunderstanding: are there any packages that I am
supposed to install for this to work? There are many VPN packages, like
openvpn, Cisco client vpnc, etc...

Huh... I am running Alpha 6 as well and this works fine for me. I can
configure a VPN connection just fine, though I don't think importing a
config works (that's a separate bug). Is your problem that you cannot
configure a vpn connection, or that it doesn't work once you have?

I can't believe I forgot to say what version of Ubuntu I was using. :-/
Anyway, I'm using Intrepid Alpha 4. However, an update to
network-manager-gnome and network-manager-openvpn today seems to have resolved
this issue. I guess the feature was just not implemented yet.
