I think this should be considered a minor bug rather than a wishlist item. I think it's a bug because there is no information for the user to use to make the leap from "VPN Add button is greyed out" to "I should install network-manager-vpnc". Making that leap requires the user to - guess that there's a missing package (rather than it being greyed out due to some other reason like config mismatch) -- I think you've lost 80% of users here - know how to install a package -- loses another 40% of the remaining users - take an inspired guess at the package name that is required or find this bug report -- loses 90% of users - install the package.
As a comparison, when I go to the network share dialog, I get prompted in a friendly way (that doesn't go into scary technical detail) to install SAMBA. Imagine if you went into the share dialog as a non technical user and it was just greyed out with no warning. Haw would you make the leap to installing SAMBA? -- NetworkManager VPN plugins should be installed by default in ubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278153 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
