Description Nathaniel McCallum 2012-07-20 18:00:08 UTC 
A recent yum update in rawhide broke my VPN access. Here is the error from the log:

NetworkManager[1034]: <error> [1342806413.569960] [nm-vpn-connection.c:1405] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #3: (6) No agents were available for this request.
Comment 1 Dan Williams 2012-07-20 20:23:12 UTC 
Are you running GNOME Shell?  If so, I believe this is due to GNOME Shell and dbus-glib issues.  Make sure you're running dbus-glib 0.100 or later and latest gnome-shell packages.  If not using the Shell, then it's something else.

This message means that the thing that provides secrets to NM is no longer running.  That thing is usually GNOME Shell, nm-applet, or KDE network management.  If none of those things are running, then nothing is available to ask you for your VPN password.

dbus-glib-0.100-1.fc18.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.5.4-3.fc18.x86_64

Comment 4 Jirka Klimes 2012-07-23 07:58:56 UTC 
Nathaniel, do you see any crash of NM, gnome-shell, nm-applet?
Would you attach /var/log/messages and ~/.xsession-errors?
Comment 5 Nathaniel McCallum 2012-07-23 14:59:28 UTC 
This appears to have gone away. I'm wondering if I was actually running a mismatch of versions or something. Anyway, fixed for now.
Comment 6 Jirka Klimes 2012-07-26 09:54:08 UTC 
It's been fixed by updating dbus-glib.
