Title: n-m-openvpn shuts down VPN when openvpn soft-restarts Status in NetworkManager: Fix Released Status in OpenVPN: New Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn Using openvpn rc9-3ubuntu2 and network-manager-openvpn 0.7~~svn20080928t225540-0ubuntu1. When openvpn sends itself a SIGUSR1, network-manager-openvpn calls nm- openvpn-service-openvpn-helper with the "restart" parameter but that fails, resulting in the tearing down of the openvpn connection : nm-openvpn[5682]: [server] Inactivity timeout (--ping-restart), restarting nm-openvpn[5682]: SIGUSR1[soft,ping-restart] received, process restarting [...] nm-openvpn[5682]: UDPv4 link remote: 192.168.122.1:1194 nm-openvpn[5682]: [server] Peer Connection Initiated with 192.168.122.1:1194 nm-openvpn[5682]: Preserving previous TUN/TAP instance: tun0 nm-openvpn[5682]: /usr/lib/network-manager-openvpn/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper tun0 1500 1541 10.8.0.6 10.8.0.5 restart NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin failed: 2 nm-openvpn[5682]: script failed: external program exited with error status: 1 nm-openvpn[5682]: Exiting NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin failed: 1 NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin state changed: 6 NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin state change reason: 0 NetworkManager: <WARN> connection_state_changed(): Could not process the request because no VPN connection was active.
