Hi Eric and Łukasz, I uninstalled existing xl2tpd from test PPA on xenial and bionic before installing xl2tpd from respective proposed repository.
On xenial I installed and tested xl2tpd_1.3.6+dfsg- 4ubuntu0.16.04.2_amd64.deb and can confirm I'm able to establish L2TP/IPsec VPN connection with following kernels : * kernel 4.4.0-124-generic. * kernel 4.13.0-36-generic. * kernel 4.15.0-29-generic. Similarly on bionic with xl2tpd_1.3.10-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb, I can confirm VPN connection with following kernels : * kernel 4.13.0-36-generic. * kernel 4.15.0-29-generic. I've changed verification-needed-bionic and verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-bionic and verification-done-xenial respectively. I didn't change the verification-needed tag, but guess I should have. -- Doug ** Tags removed: verification-needed-bionic verification-needed-xenial ** Tags added: verification-done-bionic verification-done-xenial -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of STS Sponsors, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1760796 Title: kernel 4.15 breaks xl2tpd Status in xl2tpd package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xl2tpd source package in Xenial: Fix Committed Status in xl2tpd source package in Artful: Won't Fix Status in xl2tpd source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Status in xl2tpd package in Debian: Fix Released Status in xl2tpd package in Fedora: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Kernel 4.15 breaks xl2tpd, please see following upstream issue for more details : https://github.com/xelerance/xl2tpd/issues/147 The following commit/patch fixes the issue: https://github.com/xelerance/xl2tpd/commit/9c2cd4933478a83075df5b10f24af7589e90abc3.patch As Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Beaver) is no longer accepting Debian packages, I'm guessing then that the patch would need to be added and applied to the existing xl2tpd-1.3.10-1 package. The linux-image kernel package on Ubuntu 18.04 is currently linux- image-4.15.0-13 [Test Case] * apt install network-manager-l2tp-gnome * Add new VPN connection via network manager * establish vpn connection [Regression Potential] * For Bionic, there is none. The xl2tpd daemon does not work without the patch on the standard bionic kernel. * For Xenial w/ the 4.15 HWE kernel there is no risk. * For Xenial w/ the stock 4.4 kernel there is minimal risk as the code is pulling values that are not valid on the 4.4 kernel by default. Note that a test pkg (Pre-SRU) has been tested for both Bionic and Xenial by a user affected by this problem and the package has been proven to work as expected on the different supported Ubuntu kernel series (v4.4, v4.13, v4.15). For more details, please have a look at comment #17 and #23.
