[Bug 280571] Re: NetworkManager does not auto-connect to VPNs marked Connect Automatically
Please advice: I'm having a bug in Ubuntu Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS that is very much related to this bug, but it might not be quite the same. So I can either file a new bug report or reopen this one. The issue I'm having is that although the VPN auto-connects for connections that are marked as such. It only does so when connecting to the particular connection manually. e.g. I select the wireless network in the network-manager. It however does not auto-connect when wireless is enabled or if the network comes into range. It connects and authenticates fine with the wireless network, but then fails to connect the vpn. It returns the following error in syslog: error [1401130450.367538] [nm-vpn-connection.c:1374] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2: (6) No agents were available for this request.

Ansus; it doesn't mean we can't send patches. I can't possibly see every comment of every bug, there's just too many. This can't be shipped as SRU; it depends on rather intrusive changes to NM and would furthermore need changes to nm-applet (including new strings that would have to be translated) to be useful in any way. It's actually many commits (at least two) with a pretty high chance of introducing regressions. It's now shipping in ubuntu raring (what will be 13.04) though, so I'm closing this as Fix Released. ** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280571 Title: NetworkManager does not auto-connect to VPNs marked Connect Automatically To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/280571/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Actually I apologise for being snarky yesterday.

[Bug 280571] Re: NetworkManager does not auto-connect to VPNs marked Connect Automatically
Hugo created a bug report here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=562670 Which I can see has been reported as a dup of: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349151 (which this bug is now assigned to), however, this bug is titled ' [enh] automatically reconnect VPN if dropped ' which is not the same as the orginal bug, therefore I don't think it's a duplicate. We are talking about auto connecting at startup, not reconnecting when the line drops. If think we're waiting for the wrong bug to be fixed, maybe that's why it has taken so long? Also at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=589533 (which this bug is assigned to), Michael Biebl says Currently, VPN connection can not be autostarted. So I guess this option should be greyed out. ... so maybe it can't be fixed?
