I seems like this problem is already fixed upstream: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213900#c3
I gave it a try and recompiled plasma-widget-networkmanagement after applying this patch. This seems to fix the "No VPN secrets!" issue. Here is what I did in detail: apt-get source plasma-widget-networkmanagement sudo apt-get build-dep plasma-widget-networkmanagement cd plasma-widget-networkmanagement-0.9-svn1029786+ag1/ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b sudo dpkg -i ../plasma-widget-networkmanagement-0.9-svn1029786+ag1-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb The bug is located in the code that saves the data from the widget. That's why you need to delete the config entries for all your openvpn connections and recreate them again after installing the fixed package! ** Bug watch added: KDE Bug Tracking System #213900 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=213900 -- NetworkManager.vpn fails -- nm-vpn-connection.c.900: NeedSecrets https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360818 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
