I'm glad that I have started some useful discussion on the issue of openvpn config with network manager, I hope it leads somewhere!
I am having some problems with a very *very* basic openvpn setup. The server has this: dev tun ifconfig 10.8.0.2 10.8.0.1 secret static.key I have a working openvpn config file on the client which looks like this: remote ip.address.removed dev tun ifconfig 10.8.0.1 10.8.0.2 secret static.key route 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 I've tried setting this up in NetworkManager with no luck, but I note that there doesn't seem to be an option for setting the route. (And yes, I did set the lzo compression option in the NetworkManager gui.) That said, it doesn't quite make sense with the error messages because its not as if the server is trying to push a route; the worst that should happen is that the routing doesn't come up correctly when NetworkManager brings the VPN up. /var/log/NetworkManager has this to say: Oct 3 10:01:21 thinkux NetworkManager: <WARNING> nm_vpn_service_process_signal (): VPN failed for service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn', signal 'IPConfigBad', with message 'The VPN login failed because the VPN program received an invalid configuration from the VPN server.'. Meanwhile I see this in /var/log/messages: Oct 3 10:09:24 thinkux nm-openvpn[4617]: /usr/bin/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper tun0 1500 1545 10.8.0.2 10.8.0.1 init Oct 3 10:09:24 thinkux nm-openvpn[4617]: script failed: shell command exited with error status: 1 Any ideas? I find it hard to believe that such a basic openvpn config could be causing problems for NetworkManager, I'm not using anywhere near the bazillion options that openvpn supports ;) Thanks! _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
