When attempting to create a pptp connection NetworkManager fatally crashes and cannot be restarted even after reboot or re-install. Network Manager can only be restarted if the newly created connection is removed through the CLI

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


How reproducible:
Consistent

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new PPTP connection
2.Save the connection
3.
  
Actual results:
You will receive the following error upon clicking "Save"
Message did not receive a reply timeout by message bus

New PPTP VPN connection

Additional info:
I can be reached at midnightsteel for more information

Comment 1 Maurice James 2011-05-28 22:01:51 UTC

***UPDATE***

The problems seems to occur when you include a <space> in the VPN connection name. Fedora 14 did not have this problem

Comment 3 niowfi 2011-05-29 23:14:50 UTC

I have the same problem while I try to create a vpnc connection.

After this error, network Manager doesn't start after a reboot. I need to erase the /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/"Network connection name" file to be able to start Network Manager again.

Like Maurice James said, this error only occur when you include a space on the connection name.

Comment 4 Jirka Klimes 2011-05-30 13:13:44 UTC

I can't reproduce that with the latest update:
NetworkManager-0.8.999-3.git20110526.fc15.x86_64
NetworkManager-gnome-0.8.999-3.git20110526.fc15.x86_64

Can you upgrade to it and see if you still have the issue?

Comment 5 Jirka Klimes 2011-05-30 20:15:51 UTC

I couldn't reproduce because it crashes on i686 installs only.
