$ killall -TERM nm-vpnc-service nm-vpnc-service: no process found $ VPNC_DEBUG=1 /usr/libexec/nm-vpnc-service this gives no information at all Same problem for me. Connecting via vpnc with NetworkManager works in Gnome3 but not in KDE 4.6.2 (both F15). /var/log/messages show the same message me three The total lack of feedback when clicking the VPN connection in the network management widget is pretty unimpressive. I wasn't even sure that's how I was meant to connect until I su'd to root and realised there was a new line in /var/log/messages every time I clicked it. Same here (i386), a real pitta! Identical troubles with openVPN connections. Gnome3-NetworkManager works, KDE reports: NetworkManager[1080]: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/0 failed to activate: (5) Base connection for VPN connection not active. Same message for PPTP, also running KDE. No feedback in the gui of any attempts to connect. the same for me F15 x86_64 KDE 4.6.3 pptp F15 x86_64 KDE on connect to vpn, put in /var/log/messages: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/0 failed to activate: (5) Base connection for VPN connection not active. in Gnome 3 work correct. Sorry for my bad English. Confirmed on F15 x86_64 with openvpn. May 27 16:32:23 asdasd NetworkManager[816]: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/2 failed to activate: (5) Base connection for VPN connection not active. May 27 16:32:23 asdasd NetworkManager[816]: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/2 failed to activate: (5) Base connection for VPN connection not active Fixed in the latest update NetworkManager-0.8.999-3.git20110526.fc15.x86_64 I think we can close this bug! thanks Latest update (NetworkManager 0.8.999-3.git20110526) fixed the problem. Unfortunately, it also opens a security hole with a log record: NetworkManager[1059]: destroy_one_secret: destroying ***real_password_here*** The password is related to my x509 OpenVPN keys. I would suggest you to not use the update. On the other hand, #703136 was fixed. After the upgrade, I no longer get the "Base connection" error, but the VPN still doesn't work. /var/log/messages has this: May 28 22:41:47 sepiroth NetworkManager[788]: <info> Starting VPN service 'openvpn'... May 28 22:41:47 sepiroth NetworkManager[788]: <info> VPN service 'openvpn' started (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn), PID 7442 May 28 22:41:48 sepiroth kernel: [21333.384853] tun: Universal TUN/TAP device driver, 1.6 May 28 22:41:48 sepiroth kernel: [21333.384856] tun: (C) 1999-2004 Max Krasnyansky <maxk> May 28 22:41:48 sepiroth NetworkManager[788]: <info> VPN service 'openvpn' appeared; activating connections May 28 22:41:48 sepiroth NetworkManager[788]: <info> VPN plugin state changed: 1 May 28 22:41:48 sepiroth NetworkManager[788]: <info> Policy set 'tempest' (wlan0) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS. May 28 22:41:53 sepiroth NetworkManager[788]: <info> VPN service 'openvpn' disappeared This bug is fixed for me with NetworkManager 0.8.999, and VPN is working with none of the problems reported above. I also vote that bug can be closed. I can confirm the security leak mentioned by Leo. Networkmanager is now putting way to much info in the log files. the security leak is mentioned in bug 708583. Oded, I think the problems you encounter are related to a different bug unrelated to this issue now. I think you should file a new bug. As none of the admins closes this bug, I will close it myself. Open if needed. |
