Re: [Bug 89120] Re: VPN Connection not added...
It appears to me that I can't hit the next button in the VPN dialog with a connection name that already exists. This could be a problem in the old version, so I've added a note to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient. -- VPN Connection not added... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 89120] Re: VPN Connection not added...
Hi Craig! Sorry for the delay. I did some more experiments, and vpn config works beautifully if I choose any other name than the one I was using, which does not contain any spaces. I happen to have this same connection configured through a different vpn tool (kvpnc), so I suspect network-manager-pptp detects the name conflict and silently refuses to install it? At any rate, I successfully connected using a different connection name (with a 2 appended to the end) and it works fine. Thanks for your recent updates.

[Bug 89120] Re: VPN Connection not added...
I encountered this bug also in Kubuntu 7.04. Here's my story... 1) I created a bad pptp connection profile because I didn't select the type. If you do that, it actually creates a file for it in ~/.gconf/system/networking/vpn_connections/profile_name_here which then won't allow you to reuse 'profile_name_here' when trying to create a new profile. 2) I deleted ~/.gconf/system/networking/vpn_connections/profile_name_here and tried to remake the profile via the gui, again using 'profile_name_here' as my profile name. Still no joy. 3) I figure what the hell, 'rm -rf .gconf .gconfd', still no joy. 4) Hrm, gconfd must be the settings for a daemon of some sort... instead of figuring out how to restart it, I'll just reboot. Finally, I'm able to make a pptp connection profile using 'profile_name_here' (and selecting the type this time around of course). I hope my post help some people, especially less experienced Linux users who are more liable to just give up. -- VPN Connection not added... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 89120] Re: VPN Connection not added...
Excellent work Christopher - thanks very much. I will ensure this is documented wider. I should point out two important things: 1. You can edit gconf keys on the disk, as you say, but you shouldn't. Use gconf-editor (GUI) or gconftool: gconftool --all-dirs /system/networking/vpn_connections will list the connections gconftool --recursive-unset /system/networking/vpn_connections/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@Name will remove a connection. 2. If you remove from the disk (bad), you can shutdown gconfd with gconftool --shutdown - it should restart itself. (If gconftool doesn't work, use gconftool-2 instead. On most systems one is an alias to the other through the alternatives system). -- VPN Connection not added... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 89120] Re: VPN Connection not added...
Christopher's fix worked for me! After deleting the problem directory and rebooting, I can now configure a connection with the desired name. Perhaps the config wizard can detect this situation and report it (instead of silently failing)? Or at least give some message when it doesn't add the connection to the list, whatever the reason... -- VPN Connection not added... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

What is the name of the connection you're creating?

Re: [Bug 89120] Re: VPN Connection not added...
Possible to select nothing is gone, but whatever I configure still does not stick - after going through the wizard, the VPN Connections (Manage Virtual Private Network Connections) window shows nothing in its list. Nevertheless this is an improvement and I appreciate your efforts. Can I provide more data, or do some experiments for you?

Unfortunately no, it behaves identically.

[Bug 89120] Re: VPN Connection not added...
I'd like to confirm this bug. I've tried many times to configure a VPN through this wizard supplied by network-manager-gnome, but it always disappears when you return to the VPN Connections window. I am running Kubuntu Feisty with network-manager, network-manager-gnome, and network-manager-pptp all loaded and at their most recent versions as of this writing (2007-05-13). Another odd fact is that in the Create VPN Connection - 2 of 2 window, Requires existing network connection is always greyed out, and the Type selector is blank until you pick something (in my case Windows VPN - note leading space character). At the end, in the finish creating window, there is often nothing listed unless I go back through the windows again, re-select Windows VPN and undo a bunch of wrong settings that have suddenly appeared. In no case does whatever I've configured end up listed in the VPN Connections window. Presently I'm using kvpnc, because it actually works for me, but I had to go out and find it via Google. The method of configuring VPN supplied by default in Feisty really needs to be functional. -- VPN Connection not added... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 89120] Re: VPN Connection not added...
Hi Craig, Unfortunately I think that's the version I tried yesterday, with no success. I tried again today by explicitly removing network-manager-pptp with apt-get, and then using dpkg -i to install your version, and the behavior is the same as before. Is there some debugging flag I can turn on to give you more information? I am comfortable with tweaking code too.
