Whenever I try establishing the VPN in my Gnome settings I get an error notification with
"Connection failed
Activation of network connecition failed".

The output of sudo journalctl -u NetworkManager shows:

lead me to believe that the program expects me to be able to input the password of my ssh key, but is unable to do so as it is not connected to a terminal. I have tried setting up askpass, and my environment now looks like this:

~ ❯ env | grep SSH                                                                                              10s 10:05:03
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/run/user/1000/keyring/ssh
SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=prefer
SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/qt4-ssh-askpass

where qt4-ssh-askpass is the graphical ssh askpass promt provided by openssh-askpass.

The strange thing however is that I don't actually have password protection on my ssh key, so I don't understand why this should be relevant at all...

I'm running Arch Linux on a Thinkpad T15v, using the Gnome Wayland session. Installed using my own PKGBUILD (hosted at: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/networkmanager-ssh/)

I also confirmed now that it doesn't work under X11 either.

Could this be related to /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-ssh-service? Is this what is being used by this program to prompt for the password? If so, perhaps it crashes for some reason. Any way to get logs from it? Running it directly from terminal just yields Have to supply ID, name and service
