My current configuration

When you have a wired connection set with a VPN connection, the tooltip incorrectly shows:

"Ethernet network connection 'Sapo VPN' active
VPN connection 'Sapo VPN' active"

It's displaying the VPN connection twice. It should be:

"Ethernet network connection 'Sapo Wired' active
VPN connection 'Sapo VPN' active"

I assume you are sure that the tooltip actually comes from nm-applet -- and not from the Gnome3 NetworkManager integration (part of gnome-control-center).


Can you specify which version of nm-applet you are using? Which distribution?


Thank you.

I'm actually not sure, I couldn't find the translation string on any source file.

I'm using Manjaro (ArchLinux based distro) and here are the versions:

network-manager-applet 0.9.10.0-2
networkmanager 0.9.10.0-4
Comment 4 Jiri Klimes 2014-11-25 08:51:23 UTC
It is the tooltip of nm-applet. When a VPN connection was active, nm-applet took the VPN connection instead of the base one.

Fix in jk/applet-tooltip-bgo737585.
Comment 5 Dan Winship 2014-11-25 13:47:18 UTC
yeah, that looks right
