Public bug reported: Binary package hint: network-manager-gnome
nm-applet assumes that VPN connections cannot be established if there is no active physical (wired or wireless) network connection. The menu entries for VPNs are greyed out. This is unreasonably restrictive. For example, one might have a 3G phone tethered through USB and forwarding a port to the VPN server. ** Affects: network-manager-applet (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- nm-applet disables VPN options if there is no network connection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356745 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
