Resolute and Stonking are ok, I'm affected by this bug too now that I tested
with noble.
Fixing and uploading
** Changed in: openconnect (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Fix Released
** Also affects: openconnect (Ubuntu Noble)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
- Cisco updated their web appliances that provide VPN a few months ago.
- The default version of openonnect in Noble Numbat 24.04 does not work
- with that. I installed a more recent version from the openconnect repo
- and it works. But it doesn't interface with the Gnome
- Settings>Network>VPN so I need to run it from the command line. It would
- be nice if I could connect to the current web appliances from Gnome.
