Bug Description
[impact]
network-manager no longer correctly saves VPN passwords
[test case]
on a 19.10 (or later) system, configure a VPN with network-manager and provide a password that it should save. On next connection, it will prompt for a password again.
[regression potential]
as this adjusts how n-m handles connections with secrets/passwords, any regression would likely cause secrets to fail to be stored for later use, and/or failure to correctly use the secrets at all to setup the connection.
[scope]
This is needed only in eoan.
The patch:
https:/
is included in the 1.20.6 release:
https:/
focal-proposed currently has version 1.20.8, so this patch is already included in focal.
This bug was introduced after version 1.18.2:
https:/
disco-updates has version 1.60.0, so this patch is not needed in disco or earlier.

Hi everyone,
After upgrading to kubuntu 19.10 I can't save the VPN password using Store password for this user only. It seems the integration with the kwallet is failing somehow...
The system logs seem to show that everything went ok, but the password is not saved:

KDE Plasma Version: 5.16.5
