NetworkManager OpenVpn issue
Hi,
I have an openvpn account. I am able to access the connection if I load the conf file from cli directly with openvpn. However, if using networkmanger the connection fails. Logs: Code:
NetworkManager[1485]: <info> Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'... I use Ubuntu. However, newtworkmanager is used in many distros. I figure this has something to do with networkmanager. I would appreciate any help. |
Here's some related info for you: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...nc/+bug/668874

Thanks for posting that. I still have not figured it out. I just launch openVPN and pont it to the need info. Its something to do with NetworkManger's plugin for OpenVPN connections.

ok, welll this is odd. It works now. Even more strange, I didnt perform an update. I am thinking a gremlin fixed it or something. However, I have no way of debugging or anything cause I have no idea what changed. My /etc/alternatives changed too. O well. Guess I will mark as solved. Sorry I cant post the reason it works now.
However, you can debug it by forcing the plugin to run under a few diff conditions ( this when I noticed it worked ). What you can do is make sure that the plugin is not running with: Code:
ps -C nm-openvpn-service Code:
sudo killall nm-openvpn-service Code:
sudo OPENVPN_DEBUG=1 /usr/lib64/network-manager-openvpn/nm-openvpn-service Code:
sudo OPENVPN_DEBUG=1 /usr/lib/network-manager-openvpn/nm-openvpn-service Code:
sudo OPENVPN_DEBUG=1 /usr/lib32/network-manager-openvpn/nm-openvpn-service Hope this helps anyone else. |
