What's new

  • Ubuntu 26.04 LTS support — the package now builds against the
    Plasma 6 / Qt6 / KF6 stack shipped in 26.04. The Plasma plugin
    installs into /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt6/plugins/plasma/network/vpn/
    and reads its metadata from the embedded JSON (no more
    kservices5 .desktop file).
  • Older targets (Ubuntu 22.04 / 24.04, Plasma 5 / Qt5 / KF5) keep
    working unchanged — the same source builds both stacks.

Install (Ubuntu 26.04)

Download the three .deb files tagged ubuntu26.04 below, then:

Gnome:

sudo apt install ./network-manager-gpclient_*_ubuntu26.04.deb ./network-manager-gpclient-gnome_*_ubuntu26.04.deb

KDE:

sudo apt install ./network-manager-gpclient_*_ubuntu26.04.deb ./network-manager-gpclient-plasma_*_ubuntu26.04.deb

python3-sdbus is now in apt, so the pip3 install sdbus step required on 22.04 is no longer needed.

Notes

  • The base package conflicts with globalprotect-openconnect and with
    Plasma 6's built-in plasmanetworkmanagement_openconnect_globalprotectui
    if you have it configured — pick one.

What's Changed

  • Add Ubuntu 26.04 support (Plasma 6 / Qt6 / KF6) by @WMP in #4

New Contributors

  • @WMP made their first contribution in #4
