I had a second to poke around a bit more, so I looked a bit more at what other error messages I could have it give me. Here's some followup:
I opened nm-connection-editor again and tried to edit the VPN I have already set up. I clicked on 'edit', and the UI showed me this: http://i.imgur.com/Ty3sLCi.png Seeing as how that looked like a dbus name, I checked d-feet to see if such a service was riding the bus. Seems like yes: http://i.imgur.com/ikklOhq.png When I hit the dbus interface as root, I could introspect it. Seems like it's on the bus and responding to requests. This is funny to me. So, I looked for where this came from, and saw it was defined in /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-strongswan-service.name I opened it and double checked the paths. They seem good, except one file needed a `.so` appenended to it. This seems sane enough for a path you'd expect to be a .so, so I don't think it's a likely lead. Here's shell output: | [paultag@cassiel:~][⌚ 01:39 PM] ♥ cat /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-strongswan-service.name | [VPN Connection] | name=strongswan | service=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.strongswan | program=/usr/lib/ipsec/charon-nm | | [GNOME] | auth-dialog=/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-strongswan-auth-dialog | properties=/usr/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-strongswan-properties | [paultag@cassiel:~][⌚ 01:39 PM] ♥ ls -l /usr/lib/ipsec/charon-nm | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 30896 Jul 16 09:32 /usr/lib/ipsec/charon-nm | [paultag@cassiel:~][⌚ 01:39 PM] ♥ ls -l /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-strongswan-auth-dialog | -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14816 Aug 28 04:47 /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-strongswan-auth-dialog | [paultag@cassiel:~][⌚ 01:40 PM] ♥ ls -l /usr/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-strongswan-properties | ls: cannot access '/usr/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-strongswan-properties': No such file or directory | [paultag@cassiel:~][⌚ 01:40 PM] ♥ ls -l /usr/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-strongswan-properties.so | -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23128 Aug 28 04:47 /usr/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-strongswan-properties.so Nothing totally broken. Not sure why it isn't talking with this service. Maybe the API of the dbus service changed? Could this be a strongswan-nm bug? Not sure where to look next, Paul
