I am trying to automatically connect to a VPN (PPTP) connection through
DBus. I have used the script posted by Tambet Ingo as a starting point,
found here:
http://www.nabble.com/dbus-and-OpenVPN-Autostart-td21905375.html
The problem is that my Ethernet connection ("Auto Eth1"), that is required
to be connected before the VPN, is not listed through the
org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings.ListConnections function.
So how do I get the last parameter to ActivateConnection? I.e.:
iface.ActivateConnection('org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings',
vpn_connection, # =
"/org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/0" which is my VPN
dbus.ObjectPath("/"),
active_connection, # where to get?
reply_handler=reply_handler,
error_handler=error_handler)
I do have the UUID for both connections, found under
cat /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Auto eth1
and
cat ~/.gconf/system/networking/connections/2/connection/%gconf.xml
respectively.
I am using network-manager-0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964 under Ubuntu 9.04.
Any and all help appreciated.
