Ubuntu 26.04 LTS support
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.desktopfile). - 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.debKDE:
sudo apt install ./network-manager-gpclient_*_ubuntu26.04.deb ./network-manager-gpclient-plasma_*_ubuntu26.04.debpython3-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.
