VPN-Plugin Networkmanager not working for all users

[Sven Koesling]

Mint 10 RC1

If I configure a VPN-connection and mark "available for all Users" other users can see the connection, but not use it. The error message says, that vpn could not be startet.
As soon as I edit the connection and remove the mark, vpn works as exspected.

This can be reproduced

Sven

I think this should have been largely fixed in the latest Ubuntu releases. Can you please check if selecting Available to all users, VPN connections still work?

As far as I know, this is the default for all new connections, and all the VPN types do appear to work properly here.

This bug was marked Incomplete some time ago and was supposed to autoclose after 90 days. I'm going to close it manually due to no activity (and likely the issue has gone away/been fixed).
