Plasma NetworkManager applet broken...

The_Great_Sephiroth

OK, I cannot figure this out. I have numerous VPN connections, all of which worked prior to the last big upgrade. Now however, whenever I am on wireless and sometimes wired connections, the VPN connections don't show. I REALLY need these to do my job. What's going on?

I have the same problem. Must be a bug in kde-plasma/plasma-nm. If I untick, then tick, the Wi-Fi box in the top left hand corner of the pane, the VPN connections usually re-appear in the list of available connections. The other way is to click on the 'Configure Network Connections...' icon and right-click on the VPN in the list in that window, then select 'Connect' (or 'Disconnect'). I expect the KDE plasma-nm developers will fix it at some point.

I figured out I could right-click on the connections in the configuration window and use them. After using one, they all show up. Unchecking and checking the WiFi box does not fix it for me.

Also, that bug should not affect me. I have maybe seven or eight WiFi connections stored right now.
