Description Michel Lind 2008-10-15 03:15:12 UTC
Description of problem:
The update to NetworkManager breaks pptp support somehow; now it just shows the "connecting" icon endlessly, without actually connecting or timing out.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
NetworkManager-0.7.0-0.11.svn4175.fc10.x86_64
NetworkManager-pptp-0.7.0-0.11.svn4178.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a PPTP VPN
2. Try to connect
3. ps auxwww | grep pptp
  
Actual results:
No connection ever brought up; the underlying connection still works. 'ps' shows that pptp is not started, but the following processes are running:

root /usr/libexec/nm-pptp-service state: S
user /usr/libexec/nm-pptp-auth-dialog -u <some-uid> -n <VPN-name> -s org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp state: SL

Killing the user process aborts the connection attempt.

Expected results:
Connection should just work; used to before the update (that ironically is PPTP-related!)


Additional info:
Connection details: allowable protocol MS-CHAP v2, and when it was working with NM-PPTP, I had to toggle on MPPE for the connection to work. Disabling SELinux does not make any difference.

Can you provide any logs or information from /var/log/messages?

Comment 2 Dan Williams 2008-10-28 03:25:48 UTC
How about with NM svn4201 and latest PPTP plugin?

Comment 3 Dan Williams 2008-10-29 03:48:43 UTC
Nevermind, found the cause, terribly sorry, will push out a .1 update for the pptp plugin tomorrow.

Re-opening until it actually gets tagged for the release.  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReleaseEngineering/FinalFreezePolicy
