Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 248105
NM says that there is no vpnc software, although there is
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:12:10 EST
Description of problem: Trying to run vpnc via Network Manager but when trying to add new VPNC definition I get error message (roughly back translated from Czech): "I cannot add VPN connection.\n\nThere was no suitable software for VPN found in your system. Please contact the administrator of your system." That's nonsense, I have all the software installed (it would be nice if the error message which exact packages should be installed to satisfy it) and VPNC runs on my system every day (via ifup vpn_str). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sh-3.2# rpm -qa \*vpnc\* NetworkManager-vpnc-0.6.4-3.fc7 vpnc-consoleuser-0.4.0-2.fc7 vpnc-debuginfo-0.4.0-2.fc7 vpnc-0.4.0-2.fc7 sh-3.2# How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1.click on NM icon and select VPN connections, in submenu select Configure VPN 2.click on icon Add 3. Actual results: error message happens Expected results: dialog window (or wizard or whatever) for setting up VPN should happen Additional info: just to be sure you know, I have SELinux in Permisssive mode and there is no message either in /var/log/audit/audit.log nor /var/log/messages.
Does this still happen ? Is this on x86_64 (if yes, this is almost certainly a duplicate of bug 243535). If you look at the file /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-vpnc-service.name, can you make sure its fields point to existing files ?
Yes, /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-vpnc-service.name is screwed up. Thanks for pointing me to the problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 243535 ***
