I confirm this same bug in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin. The same workaround works:
Steps to workaround: 1. Change filename of /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper cd /usr/lib/NetworkManager/ mv nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper.dist 2. Create new file with same old name: nano nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper 3. Fill the file with variables to export and original executable. Copy and paste this: #!/bin/bash [ -z "$ifconfig_local" ] && export ifconfig_local=$4 [ -z "$ifconfig_remote" ] && export ifconfig_remote=$5 /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper.dist $* 4. Make the new file executable: chmod +x nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper Now it works! ** Tags added: precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/280160 Title: n-m-openvpn shuts down VPN when openvpn soft-restarts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/280160/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
