In 16.04 they broke importing a saved VPN configuration. Again. Previous time they broke it with a previous LTS release, 14.04 (sic!) [1]
Another failure of such magnitude that affected me - breaking the switching between keyboard layouts with Ctrl+Shift (to introduce a new dialog in place of the one that worked for years) was in 13.10 - not the LTS release, at least.
I wonder if they will fix the VPN by 16.04.1, due in July.
Sometimes I wish they were not so strict about time-based releases, if only to allow for the bugs like this one to be fixed.

- rlpb 10y agoAccording to the bug you linked, it works fine on 16.04.
- listic 10y agoWell, according to my experience, and this thread[1], it doesn't. Also, the bug is confirmed and high priority[2] [1] https://cryptostorm.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=9026#p15888 https://cryptostorm.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=9026#p15888 [2] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-op...
- cxseven 10y agoWhat did you mean about their strictness? Does Ubuntu not push out fixes for critical problems like this except at certain times?
- listic 10y agoI mean they rather strictly hold on to the release schedule [1]: ready or not, you can count on .04 version to come by the end of April, rather than in May. I'd prefer that they didn't release with such glaring bugs as I mentioned, even if a bit late.

- lamarkia 10y agoThat is an upstream issue. I do not see a link to bugzilla.gnome.org on launchpad.
