Some follow-up. My wifi is disabled by default.
Even being able to connect to an OpenVPN, the menu is not able to disconnect an OpenVPN connection (as it does not know it was up). As the reporter, I can only see the correct status using gnome setting. There I can enable/disable wifi, list wifi hotspots, connect to them, enable/disable OpenVPN, etc. And there, it also shows the correct visual feedback. The problem is only with the menu. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1770176 Title: Ubuntu 18.04 - NetworkManager menu items in top right menu behaves very strange. Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 desktop install, I've found a very strange behaviour on my Dell XPS 15. This laptop doesn't have an integrated Ethernet port, so I've to use external USB 3.0 Ethernet adapters. When I boot Ubuntu with the adapter plugged in, the wired connection section in the top right menu doesn't show the "Via cavo collegato" section (in Italian, sorry... maybe in English it is "Through connected cable") in the correct way, often but not every time... The menu section title is sometimes " collegato" and expanding the section it doesn't list all the defined Ethernet connection profiles I've on my machine. To access all profiles and to change it I've to select the "Wired network settings" item in the section and so the system settings window appears and all defined profiles are there (so I can change connection by clicking here). Another strange behaviour occours with the "VPN" section in the same topright menu. I have two VPN profiles defined (one of Cisco type, the other is of OpenVPN type). If I select one of this two profiles, VPN connection is established but the switch button in the menu doesn't reflect the state of the connection. To see the correct state of the VPN connection I've to open the "system settings" window, again. It seems there is some trouble in the topright menu communication with the NetworkManager subsystem.
