Actually I apologise for being snarky yesterday. I've read the full upstream bug now and whilst it is a complex set of needs to make VPNs work in all use cases (mine being relatively simple), it looks like NM with this check box is up to its usual tricks of claiming features that just don't work in even the simplest use case.
This being so, I agree - patch the option out until upstream gets around to fixing it, if ever. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280571 Title: NetworkManager does not auto-connect to VPNs marked "Connect Automatically" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/280571/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
