I was trying to setup WireGuard on my Fedora 40 laptop to connect to my Unifi Network controller but ran into problems.
I could set it up and get it working from the command line but every WireGuard command required sudo
. Then when I turned off the VPN in Gnome (because I’m at home and don’t need it) it didn’t disappear but the switch did.
So I decided, hey, maybe I can just set it up in Gnome directly! Well not so fast… There seems to be multiple UI bugs.
- I could input all the base settings, WireGuard, and IPv4, but the “Add” button was disabled until I checked the “Make available to other users”. Strange… I’m the only user so not a big deal but it shouldn’t be required…
- I needed to add the “Peers” section so I clicked the + and started typing my settings but when I switched to the terminal to copy my public key the Peers popup disappears and loses everything I already typed in!
I also was able to reproduce the problem on my F40 desktop so it’s not unique to my laptop.
