I have successfully imported my VPN’s configuration files in Network Settings, which works perfectly, but I’m unable to check the “Automatically connect to VPN” checkbox when looking at my standard wired connection (not the VPN connection).
I navigate to the connection’s screen. If I try to tick the checkbox the window remains where it is for half a second and then just closes, along with the Network Connections window which I have to open before that particular connection’s window. I can open them both back up without problem and tinker with the other settings. I can also reboot and find the other settings remain as they were. It’s just this one setting that doesn’t like me apparently.
Is this a bug? I’m pretty sure I’m not missing anything.
Hey sorry I actually just finished up moving to KDE. I was wanting to see if their HiDPI support had got better (yup!) and this was the push that sent me to spending my day moving over. Anyway on KDE it seems to work perfectly.
(sorry to future browsers searching for an answer here!)
