[Bug 794918] Re: Can not use or configure VPN via NM GUI on XFC/Xubuntu
This config is just plain wrong. The fact that such a workaround fixes things has nothing to do with the actual problem, so please don't break your system by applying such suggestions. In most cases, simply *rebooting* after installing a VPN plugin will fix this; if not, then you really should add more information as to what exactly happens *as* the connection is being imported; without even activating it before adding the info to this bug report. Ideally this would be done by starting nm-connection-editor from the command-line so as to get all the messages from .xsession-errors. Also, all the issues here should be fixed in Oneiric soon (preparing an upload that includes secrets fixes); there is a slight difference in how passwords are saved in the keyring which should allow you to choose whether to save them immediately in the config, get asked every time, or just not needed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794918 Title: Can not use or configure VPN via NM GUI on XFC/Xubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/794918/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Had the same problem running fresh install of 11.04 Unity. Added at_console policy, which solved it for me.

Looks like it is related to dbus configuration for the various network- manager plugins. It seems the at_console config is missing : working /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openvpn-service.conf !DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC -//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Bus Configuration 1.0//EN http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/busconfig.dtd; busconfig policy user=root allow own=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn/ allow send_destination=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn/ /policy policy user=at_console allow own=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn/ allow send_destination=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn/ /policy policy context=default deny own=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn/ deny send_destination=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn/ /policy /busconfig -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794918 Title: Can not use or configure VPN via NM GUI on XFC/Xubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/794918/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm the same bug, Even if you try to save the password the next time you open the VPN connection the passwrod is not there. Also you cannot find the password in the keyring. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/794918 Title: Can not use or configure VPN via NM GUI on XFC/Xubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/794918/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
