Description Ben Breard 2008-07-28 16:19:46 UTC
Description of problem:

kernel 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686 breaks nm-openvpn. After the update the vpn fails
to connect saying. The VPN connection 'vpn-name' failed because the VPN service
stopped unexpectedly. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0-14.svn3632.fc9.src.rpm


How reproducible:
very

Comment 1 Dan Williams 2008-09-30 20:25:45 UTC
is this still an issue with latest F9 updates?  If so, what version of NetworkManager-openvpn are you running?

Comment 2 Mr R 2008-11-09 16:46:17 UTC
I'm having here the same exact problem with F9:
RPM Group    : System Environment/Base
Source       : NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0-16.svn4027.fc9.src.rpm
Yum Group    : Base System/System Tools

Comment 3 Jens Liebchen 2008-11-30 12:59:14 UTC
I think I have the same problem with F10:

NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0-16.svn4326.fc10.x86_64
kernel-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.x86_64

I think the problem may be related with the line:

nm-openvpn[6985]: /usr/libexec/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper "tap0" 1500 1574   init

I am having static IPs within the VPN connection, and that IP config is missing in the line above, so maybe some update caused errors with the environment? If you take a look at the line, you can notice more than one space before init, that is where the IP address is missing.

Comment 4 Bug Zapper 2009-06-10 02:16:35 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 9.  It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.  At that time
this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '9'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life.  If you 
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it 
against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events.  Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-07-14 15:15:14 UTC
Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
