I followed the recommendation to invoke (Alt-F2) "ubuntu-bug network- manager-vpnc-gnome", and after that there was heavy network traffic,
but I'd like to know what exactly is being transmitted, where to and
why. Does anybody know?
Hi everyone,
I just try to get familiar with LTS 22.04.
First, setting up network-manager for openconnect worked properly.
But trying the same for vpnc did not work: after installing vpnc, network- manager-vpnc and network-manager-vpnc-gnome, the form did not let me save the settings after filling it out.
I saw, that this seems a known bug. Someone recommended to "downgrade" nw- vpnc-gnome to an older version, but then the dependencies are no longer fulfilled.

Does anybody know?
Or, is there a better way to submit a bug report?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Markus

a thought just occurred to me.
Since this is Ubuntu, what if the "network-manager-vpnc-gnome"
was interacting with a Snap for the entire Gnome desktop.
Snaps have controls over where they can write. Perhaps it is the Snap container scheme that impedes your forward progress ?
And this is why no one else has the problem (why the author of the
package would think you were nuts).

Set up a parallel environment, one without snaps in it, and experiment
there. I would not tear your existing environment to bits, seeking
justice. Make a space you can beat up the component parts, until you get
what you want. Maybe that would be a Linux Mint.
