I've taken over maintaining the NetworkManager-l2tp source code : https://github.com/nm-l2tp/network-manager-l2tp For NetworkManager 1.0 based Fedora 23, you need to use NetworkManager-l2tp version 1.0.2. Versions before 1.0.0 won't work. For NetworkManager 1.2 based Fedora 24, you need to use NetworkManager-l2tp version 1.2.2. Version 1.2.0 had issues. There are issues contacting the NetworkManager-l2tp RPM maintainer as his email address bounces. So I emailed someone else. My update request for NetworkManager-l2tp to 1.2.2 on Fedora 24 : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1336282 and the RPM has been pushed to the Fedora 24 testing repository. As for Fedora 23, keep your eye on the bottom of the following: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=887674 With the new RPMs, be sure to also install NetworkManager-l2tp-gnome NetworkManager-l2tp 1.2.2-1.fc24 and 1.0.2-2.fc24 RPMs should resolve the issues. Minor correction to what I wrote in my previous comment: For IPsec support on Fedora 23, NetworkManager-l2tp versions before 1.0.0 won't work, but L2TP support was okay. |
Description of problem: My ISP provides the Internet through l2tp vpn and it's been working for years. Recently I updated Fedora to not-yet-released 24 and found that NetworkManager-l2tp fails to start saying '<warn> [1463430382.6571] vpn-connection[0x56203d44b200,9b218a64-7248-4b8c-9dd3-dea859389abb,"beeline-l2tp",0]: Timed out waiting for the service to start' in NetworkManager.service log. After downgrading NetworkManager to .fc23 it is running well again. The connection in question: [connection] id=beeline-l2tp uuid=9b218a64-7248-4b8c-9dd3-dea859389abb type=vpn autoconnect=false permissions= secondaries= timestamp=1463166479 [vpn] gateway=tp.internet.beeline.ru require-mppe=yes user=<Correct login name> password-flags=0 service-type=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.l2tp [vpn-secrets] password=<Correct password> [ipv4] dns-search= ignore-auto-dns=true may-fail=false method=auto route-metric=0 [ipv6] dns-search= ip6-privacy=0 method=ignore (cutting off username and password values due to obvious reason; deadly sure they are correct) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-1.2.2-1.fc24.x86_64.rpm NetworkManager-l2tp-1.2.0-1.fc24.x86_64.rpm (do not work; maybe NM-l2tp-1.2.2 would?) NetworkManager-1.0.12-2.fc23.x86_64.rpm NetworkManager-l2tp-0.9.8.7-4.fc23.x86_64.rpm (do work; actually, I downgraded all the NM-stuff from `rpm -qa --qf '%{name} ' NetworkManager\*`)
