The VPN connection file from /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ with some sensitive information censored.
It also happens with OpenVPN connections. In step 3, 'Enter Cancel VPN settings' should just be 'Enter VPN settings'. Have a same problem with OpenVPN connection After removing the connection file from /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections, NetworkManager can be restarted and works normal. I confirm this. I am also unable to recreate the setting again. Getting the same signal again. http://pastie.org/1991986 Looks to me like this is the same problem as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625047. This introduces a major regression into Fedora 15 - I had about a half-dozen network configs that had to be moved out of the way before NetworkManager would start after updating. It doesn't just apply to VPN configs - I am seeing the same with wireless network configurations as well. Creating a VPN session with a name _without_ any spaces appears to work - I can't do a full test until I get home. Given that the DEFAULT name is "VPN Connection 1", you must alter this before saving. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 708445 *** |
Created attachment 501519 [details] Extract from /var/log/messages showing the crash, with backtraces Description of problem: Running on Fedora 15 with NetworkManager-0.8.999-3.git20110526.fc15.i686. After adding a configuration for a Cisco VPN, Network Manager crashes and fails to start at reboot. /var/log/messages (relevant part attached, with debuginfo backtraces) shows that Network Manager is getting an exception while parsing the VPN connection keyfile: May 28 11:38:55 localhost NetworkManager[766]: keyfile: parsing VPN connection 1 ... May 28 11:38:55 localhost NetworkManager[766]: <warn> caught signal 11. Generating backtrace... May 28 11:38:55 localhost NetworkManager: ******************* START ********************************** It is necessary to remove the connection file from /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ before NetworkManager will successfully start. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Running on Fedora 15 with NetworkManager-0.8.999-3.git20110526.fc15.i686.

In Network System Settings, add a VPN connection (by clicking on the plus sign under the existing Wired / Wireless / Network proxy / etc. listings -- pet peeve: this is much harder to find than in the older gui), selecting 'VPN' from the interface list (it's the only option) and clicing Create... 2. Choose 'Cisco Compatible VPN (vpnc)' connection type. Click Create.. 3. Enter Cancel VPN settings (where's the option to import from a .pcf file?) I entered the Gateway, Group name, and used a 'Saved' Group password, no User password, and unchecked 'Available to all users'. Click Save. Actual results: Network Manager crashes and won't restart after reboot or logout. Expected results: New VPN configuration should be available for use and Network Manager should not crash.
