Description Adam Williamson 2023-10-03 16:44:24 UTC
This is a downstream report of upstream https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/2668 - in GNOME 45, adding VPN connections via the Control Center Network pane does not work. This is already fixed upstream by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/merge_requests/1935 , this bug is just bureaucracy to allow us to land the fix downstream during the F39 Final freeze.

Proposing as a Final blocker as a violation of Basic criterion "Using the default network configuration tools for the console and for release-blocking desktops, it must be possible to establish a working connection to common OpenVPN, openconnect-supported and vpnc-supported VPN servers with typical configurations."

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a recent Fedora 39 Workstation nightly
2. Try and configure a VPN connection using the default tools (Control Center)

Actual Results:  
The process appears to work, but no connection is created

Expected Results:  
The connection should be created
