It appears that the original behavior was some quirk of some older packages still being active; upon rebooting it just doesn't work now from any networkmanager GUI prompts, but works from the command line using command nmcli --ask c u <VPN NAME> In the systemd journal, the following error message appears when trying to connect to an openconnect VPN: Invalid VPN service type (cannot find authentication binary) Rebooting does not fix the bug for me. Downgrading to 1.2.2 (using a local overlay) does fix it for me. I think this is like bug 609594 (newer but with more explanations about what is happening). If still failing, maybe you are facing bug 609732 :/ *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 609594 *** |
Created attachment 463690 [details] openconnect-prompt The networkmanager plugin for openconnect is supposed to show a dialog before connecting (with a drop-down menu for different connection options). With =net-misc/networkmanager-openconnect-1.2.4, which is currently marked stable, the prompt appears, but does not allow the user to change any options and quickly closes and connects with whatever option is set. Downgrading to =net-misc/networkmanager-openconnect-1.2.2 fixes this problem.
