Hi,
I wiped my F21 Workstation and did a clean install of F22, only with the XFCE spin this
time.
In F21 with GNOME, I had quite a few .ovpn files that I imported using NetworkManager.
They worked fine.
In F22 with XFCE, NetworkManager would not import them, giving the error:
"Error: does not look like a Cisco AnyConnect Compatible VPN (openconnect) VPN
connection (parse failed)"
This is with NetworkManager-openvpn installed. I was stumped, and after using dnf list
NetworkManager* I saw
NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome. On a hunch, I installed it, and a new option shows up in
NetworkManager for
"OpenVPN" and my .ovpn files are all successfully importing again.
What I'm wondering is why doesn't NetworkManager-openvpn provide the same
functionality? Why do I have to
install the -gnome specific files (under XFCE) to get what one would assume comes with the
-openvpn package?
It was easy to work around, but I'm just curious why NetworkManager-openvpn
doesn't create an OpenVPN option
or allow users to import OpenVPN files.
Thanks,
