Hi,
Thanks for the elaborate answer, much appreciated.
I did some tests and it seems the issue on Solus was different from the
one on Arch which is now working again (configuration error on my end).
However the issue on Solus seems with the plugin itself. The error in
journald is:
pppd[11604]: Couldn't load plugin
/usr/lib64/pppd/2.4.5/nm-fortisslvpn-pppd-plugin.so
pppd[11604]: /usr/lib64/pppd/2.4.5/nm-fortisslvpn-pppd-plugin.so:
undefined symbol: _nm_utils_ascii_str_to_int64
After looking around This appears to be an issue common in multiple
distributions.
Fedora: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-7a6f98d7ef
Red Hat: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1513320
Gentoo:
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/commit/fffd4eeec18894724408f7930599b707504121a1
Gentoo already integrated your fix.
I'd like to have this fix available in Solus as well but I prefer not to
patch issues downstream.
Is there a new release or a hotfix pending?
Cheers,
San
