I've seen similar problems, but my symptoms are a bit different. After entering cisco vpn connection information, I can hit apply and see the new configuration in the list. If I try to edit the connection, nm-vpn-properties crashes. I can delete connections properly, just not edit them. I'm also seeing the same thing in my fresh Fedora 8 installation. This worked fine under Fedora 7. But under Fedora 8, editing an existing VPN connection configuration either has all fields blank or crashes nm-vpn-properties: * If the "VPN Connections" dialog has not been closed, then editing a configuration you have just created brings up an connection-editing dialog with all fields except the name blank. This is the failure mode that Nik Lam originally reported. * If the "VPN Connections" dialog has been closed, then editing a configuration you created earlier crashes nm-vpn-properties. This is the failure mode that David Smith described in comment #1. In either case, new VPN connections configured under Fedora 8 are not usable. The critical configuration information like gateway address and group name is missing from the stored configuration in gconf and cannot be used by NetworkManager. This is a clear regression from Fedora 7. I see the following diagnostic error message, which is consistent with my earlier claim that critical VPN properties are missing from the saved configuration in gconf: ** ERROR **: file nm-vpnc.c: line 288 (impl_get_widget): \ assertion failed: (s_vpn_props) Here's a dump of what's actually in gconf to represent my VPN configuration: % gconftool-2 -R /system/networking/connections/2 /system/networking/connections/2/vpn: service-type = org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc /system/networking/connections/2/connection: id = WiscVPN-OffCampus timestamp = 0 type = vpn autoconnect = false Note the lack of a gateway IP address and group name, even though I provided both of these when configuring the connection. Is this perchance a dup of Bug 409351? Anyway, this now works for me with NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.6.6.svn3138.fc8 and NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0-0.6.3.svn3109.fc8 so I'm closing this bug. Please re-open if the problem persists. This now works for me also. Working here as well. Thanks! |
