[Bug 405793] New: knetworkmanager doesn't handle vpnc well
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=405793 Summary: knetworkmanager doesn't handle vpnc well Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: 64bit OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE3 AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: chris.brown@sybase.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Other I'm using kde 3.5.9, openSUSE 11.0, 64-bit. In comparison to openSUSE 10.3, knetworkmanager has some regressions when using the vpnc plugin, as listed below. 1). No progress bar is given when trying to connect to the vpn server, and the icon doesn't change in any way once connected (if it connects). Therefore, no feedback is given to the user as to the status of the connection. 2). If the VPN server returns a message (for example, something to the effect of a 'security notice' .. in 10.3 that would be shown on the screen in a dialog box. This no longer happens in 11.0. 3). The vpn connection drops after a few seconds / minutes of use, with no indication to the end user. Command-line 'vpnc' doesn't have this problem and will stay connected for 8+ hours. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

1). No progress bar is given when trying to connect to the vpn server, and the icon doesn't change in any way once connected (if it connects). Therefore, no feedback is given to the user as to the status of the connection.
Not done yet.
2). If the VPN server returns a message (for example, something to the effect of a 'security notice' .. in 10.3 that would be shown on the screen in a dialog box. This no longer happens in 11.0.
True, also missing due to 0.7 port.
3). The vpn connection drops after a few seconds / minutes of use, with no indication to the end user. Command-line 'vpnc' doesn't have this problem and will stay connected for 8+ hours.
That's not a KNetworkManager issue but most likely a bug in the NetworkManager VPNC backend. Could you please create a new bugreport for that one?

And more there's no user way to disconnect ? I'm forced to start offline, to kill the vpn connexion. Did you have plan for releasing the correction inside the main opensuse update or shall we had a special repository ? Thanks for all.

Is there a special build on this, or is it only planned for 11.1? Just curious if we will see this fixed in 11.0. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
