By the way, there is a GUI way to install VPN plugins. It's surprisingly hidden though.
Open the Ubuntu/GNOME Software app. Switch to the Installed tab. Scroll down to the bottom then scroll up a bit to see the GNOME Control Center app in the System Applications heading. Click it to open the details page for GNOME Control Center. This page shows the VPN plugins as Add-ons. Check the boxes for the plugins you want installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-meta in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1752417 Title: [ffe] including network-manager-openvpn-gnome, network-manager-l2tp- gnome, and network-manager-strongswan in the default installation Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: New Status in ubuntu-meta package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: network-manager lists only PPTP as an available VPN client connection type (and also offers to import a file). I'd expect L2TP-over-IPSec and IKEv1/IKEv2 options as well. In fact, most major desktop OSes have removed PPTP altogether because it's insecure, and Ubuntu should probably do so in 18.04 as well, at least from the GUI! $ apt list network-manager Llistant… Fet network-manager/bionic,now 1.10.4-1ubuntu2 amd64 [instal·lat] $ uname -a Linux machinename 4.15.0-10-generic #11-Ubuntu SMP Tue Feb 13 18:23:35 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
