Package: network-manager-openvpn Version: 1.8.16-1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: jo...@alternativaslibres.es
Dear Maintainer, When importing .ovpn files into network manager, there is no warning or message whatsoever to the user that some of the elements could not be imported. It would be desired that, either on the GUI or when using nmcli, if any of the settings on the .ovpn file are not (or cannot) be imported, these are listed or at least a warning is shown indicating to the user that they might need to take additional steps to have their connection behave (or work) on Network Manager in a similar manner as what they would expect if they were using openvpn connection.ovpn on the command line. One obvious example of this could be when the .ovpn file contains "up" or "down" scripts or commands. Probably some users would like something to be automagically added into /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d, but since this could be problematic or hard to do (without taking into account other scripts already there, or which name will the tun/tap interface will have, etc.), maybe just showing a message to the user indicating something along the lines of: "Up/Down scripts in the .ovpn file could not be imported automatically. Please consider using a script under /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d as necessary (with reference to the documentation or NetworkManager-dispatcher manpage)" This issue could be considered somewhat related to issue #818147. However, since what is being requested is different, I preferred to open a separate issue on the bug tracker. -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers stable-security APT policy: (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.16.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages network-manager-openvpn depends on: ii adduser 3.118 ii libc6 2.33-7 ii libglib2.0-0 2.70.4-1 ii libnm0 1.36.0-1 ii network-manager 1.36.0-1 ii openvpn 2.5.5-1 network-manager-openvpn recommends no packages. network-manager-openvpn suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
