So, here is the details I got from investigating this bug. The error is that during first start `nm-applet` is not registering itself as a NetworkManager `secrets agent`. This is due to code in function `constructor` of the file `src/applet.c` (nm-applet code) is waiting for a `notify::shell-version` event that is never happens during the first login.
The cause for this is yet to be found out. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297849 Title: Virtual private network connection fails after distribution upgrade due to outdated Network Manager configuration files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1297849/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
