Package: gnome-control-center
Version: 1:3.4.2-2
Severity: normal
When I try to add VPN via gnome-control-center / Network (typically
accessing it via Gnome3 top bar's notification icon), action fails
silently with no explanation after clicking "+" (plus sign) and
"Create..." button in the next dialog. (Main "Network" window is
not affected.)
Looking at STDERR, apparently problem is that I have no VPN plugins
installed:
(gnome-control-center:30919): Gtk-WARNING **: Overriding tab label for notebook
(gnome-control-center:30919): Gtk-WARNING **: Overriding tab label for notebook
(gnome-control-center:30919): Gtk-WARNING **: Overriding tab label for notebook
** (nm-connection-editor:30924): WARNING **: vpn_ask_connection_type: no VPN plugins could be found!
There should be, however, explanation in the GUI why the action failed.
STR:
0. Prerequisities:
-- no VPN plug-ins installed
-- Gnome 3
1. Click network icon in notification area ov Gnome3 top bar
2. Choose "Network Settings"
3. Click "+" under the list of interfaces
-- dialog to choose interface appears
4. Choose "VPN" as Interface
5. Click "Create..."
-- result: dialog to choose interface disappears
-- oracle: dialog should not simply disappear; an explanation
should be displayed or it should not be possible
to reach this situation
