Public bug reported: ### Problem: VPN connections created via `nm-connection-editor` or `nmcli` are **not listed** in: - GNOME Settings → Network - System Menu (top-right VPN dropdown)
However: - The connections **do appear** in `nmcli connection show` and `nm-connection-editor`. - The connection **can be established** via the System Menu's "Connect" option (it selects the only available VPN connection, or possibly the first if multiple exist). - Connections can also be managed via `nmcli` or `nm-connection-editor`. ### Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a VPN connection (e.g., Cisco VPNC) via `nm-connection-editor` or GNOME Settings. 2. Verify it works (`nmcli connection up "VPN-Name"`). 3. Open GNOME Settings → Network: **VPN connection is missing**. 4. Open System Menu (top-right): **VPN connection is missing in the list**, but the "Connect" option works and connects to the (only/first) VPN. ### Expected behavior: VPN connections should appear in both GNOME Settings and the System Menu dropdown. ### Actual behavior: VPN connections are invisible in the GUI lists, but the "Connect" action in the System Menu works (selecting the first/only VPN). ### System details: - **Ubuntu Version:** 22.04 LTS - **GNOME Shell Version:** 42.9 - **Kernel Version:** 6.5.0-41-generic - **nmcli tool Version:** 1.36.6 - **Architecture:** x86_64 - **Relevant packages:** - `network-manager-gnome`: [Version einfügen, falls bekannt] - `network-manager-vpnc-gnome`: [Version einfügen, falls bekannt] ### Additional notes: - No errors in `journalctl -u NetworkManager -u gnome-shell`. - Problem persists after: - Recreating the connection. - Resetting GNOME settings (`dconf reset -f /org/gnome/NetworkManager/`). - Reinstalling `network-manager-gnome`. ### Workaround: Use `nm-connection-editor` or `nmcli` to manage VPN connections. The System Menu's "Connect" option can still establish the connection, but the VPN list remains empty. ### References to similar bugs (checked for duplicates): - [Bug #761470](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/761470): "network manager does not show defined VPN connections" (Ubuntu 11.04) – Similar issue, but related to older Ubuntu versions and marked as duplicate of Bug #764451. - [Bug #1774957](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1774957): "Network icons in status menu disappearing" (Ubuntu 18.04) – Related to missing icons, not VPN connection lists. - [Bug #1968588](https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/1968588): "Cannot create or add VPN in connection editor" (Ubuntu 22.04) – Related to VPN creation, not visibility of existing connections.
