Yeah, User settings are available only while the user has logged in,
while system settings are available to all users of the system.
these connection have the same name, complicating things further.
Anyhow, I have made a script that takes this into account and
successfully connects to my VPN. Just add your UUIDs, and run it.
Example output:
Yup, this is exactly what UUID is for. Thanks for posting the code!

If this works, then the problem could be in the supplciant or NM, or also the driver. If this doesn't work, but rmmod/modprobe of the driver does, then the problem is almost definitely in the driver.

Re: Misc points about network manager
On Tue, 2009-05-05 at 06:38 +, Robert Rehammar wrote: Hi all, Just joined the list to discuss a few things about Network Managers performance. First, I have been working some with MacOS X, and the network detection in MacOS X is some 10-100 times faster than what Network Manager performs. I believe it should be possible also for a GNU/Linux system to detect and sign in to a network with that speed. Is this something that has been discussed previously? When you say network detection, you mean...? Part of the reason its so good is that Apple has only a few different types of hardware to support, and thus they can direct all their effort into making the driver work well. We don't have that luxury here, so fixing up the drivers is a more gradual process. Scanning is sometimes slow for a few reasons. First, some drivers simply don't give you feedback when a scan fails. Second, NM only does one scan on startup, so if the scan failed (and of course the driver may not tell you that) then we don't have any indication to do a second one. NM should simply perform a second scan on startup anyway. For actual *connection* to the network (ie, association) its quite a lot more complicated, and that's partially due to kernel/driver problems (the Linux kernel API called WEXT sucks for association operations but that's getting fixed), and secondly due to latency between NM and the wifi control process (wpa_supplicant). In the supplicant's case, NM knows exactly what network to connect to, and tells the supplicant that, but the supplicant searches again for the specific network to connect to before actually starting the connection. So often there's double the work going on, and that adds latency. There are a few reasons why this is the case; we could make things faster by using ap_scan=2, but that's evil for quite a few other reasons, and disables roaming completely. Next, I run Ubuntu (now 9.04, used to be 8.10 and back) with NM 0.7.1~rc4.1.cf199a964-0ubuntu2 (from apt). At leas in this (and previous Ubuntu versions) the manager looses memory of what connection to select. That is, when I move my laptop from work to home often NM does not understand that it should connect to my home wireless instead of my office Ethernet. Also the opposite is true. Also for wireless networks that I use seldom (e.g. at my brothers place) the WEP key is lost between sessions, so I have to re-enter it. I'm pretty sure these are bugs as these aren't issues I've experienced, and I test with a variety of hardware. First, are you plugging in an ethernet cable at home? If you are *not* this could indicate scanning problems. What wifi card do you have? A bug specifically with newer wifi cards and suspend/resume was fixed recently in the kernel, but I don't believe that Ubuntu 9.04 has that fix for mac80211-based drivers yet. When NM asks for the WEP key again, that means the driver failed to connect to the AP for some reason. That's driver flakiness again (due to the fact that effort has to be split up between 10x as many drivers as Apple cares about). Does it work if you re-enter your key? In the future NM will just try a bit harder to connect before giving up, which should help the problem of crappy drivers, but wont' entirely fix it, since the driver itself is usually to blame.

I have never actually checked this but I would be amazed if when one runs startx the system does not switch to rl5. Then be amazed? I have run startx and changed runlevels countless times on a number of various systems and I have never seen startx changing the runlevel (and especially not when run as a regular user, like it usually should be). startx does not change the runlevel on Fedora 10. I would be amazed if it does on Fedora 8. Manually starting or stopping X (or any other service) will never change the runlevel, because runlevels control services, not the other way around. By the way runlevels do not startx (unless you hacked your system configuration). They start X through a more flexible login manager instead (gdm, xdm, prefdm, etc.) Runlevels are currently becoming less and less relevant because of Linux upstart (resp. MacOS launchd, Solaris SMF, etc.) I was first afraid that this discussion would be off-topic, but actually not so much: NM must be started somehow.

Re: nm-vpn over ppp?
hi! I'm using gnome-ppp 0.6.6 (that controls wvdial 1.60 I think). Then pppd 2.4.4 is started and a ppp0 appears in my network-interfaces-list. I'm sure it is not a network problem, because all my internettraffic is ok over ppp. I rather think nm-applet will not let me activate a vpn-connection in case of none active ethX. ?? thanks for help! chris Dan Williams wrote: On Wed, 2009-06-03 at 07:56 +0200, z...@gmx.at wrote: hi! i use debian 4 with 2.6.28 and nm-applet 0.6.6. i have a problem in using network-manager-vpn with my (in case of not at home) gsm-connection. i establish it with gnome-ppp which works fine. after it a ppp0 device appears. all internet over gsm is fine (mail, browser, ping, ...) and my eth0 is down (no wonder). put i can not establish a vpn connection if in gsm-mode. all configures vpn-peers are deactivated in nm-applet. if have lan or wlan they are ok. what can i do? i think the nm doesnt check my ppp or?

network-manager-n2n
The folks over at ntop.org have a great peer-to-peer vpn package which could be a great alternative to Hamachi. A Network Manager plugin would certainly make n2n more accessible, going right along with the nm design goals. Using n2n is the simple matter of throwing a few options to the binary on the command line - even easier than vpnc. Unfortunately I know next to nothing about C programming. I figured I may as well take a stab at mocking up a glade properties dialog and see if I can just do a whole mess of renaming vpnc to n2n and beat up on the code until it compiles. At this point I have not read enough to understand much about how the vpn pieces fit into Network Manager and integrate with dbus. I cloned the git tree for network-manager-vpnc and did my little glade hacking. Assuming that [step 1: spend a year to become a barely adequate C programmer] isn't going to happen - for such a seemingly small project, am I up against an unlikely-to-succeed task trying to get a network-manager-n2n up and running? -Ryan Shea ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
