Looks pretty good; but I can't commit until we push out 0.8 or the Ubuntu guys will kill me for adding new translatable strings... Two things, which I'd be very grateful if you could fix up before I get around to it... (a) lets just put this stuff on the general tab for now, and (b) add the code to export these options too? Also, if you could strip out the "bes customization" comment lines that would be great since those shouldn't get committed to git. Thanks!

It won't print anything until it's told to make a VPN connection by NetworkManager. So just to confirm, you run this command, and then you're choosing your VPN connection from the menu to start it, right? And you get no output? And you're running them as root, right? Can you provide /var/log/daemon.log for me after this failure has occurred? > And here is what dpkg... says: > r...@ligeti:~$ dpkg -L network-manager-openvpn |grep nm-openvpn-service > /usr/lib/network-manager-openvpn/nm-openvpn-service > /usr/lib/network-manager-openvpn/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper > /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openvpn-service.conf > /etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-openvpn-service.name > > Might it be that the problem is that all these files are 'root-owned' > and not executable from a simple user? No, they are supposed to be root owned since they are security sensitive and must launch privileged processes (your VPN). Normally they are spawned automatically by NetworkManager when needed, so the only time they are really run by a user is for debugging. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of this...

Connections (profiles, configurations, etc) are a collection of all the settings needed to connect to a specific network, like a 3G network, a specific wifi network, etc. Connections are provided by Settings Services, of which there are two: user & system. http://live.gnome.org/NetworkManagerConfiguration (see "Settings Services") The system settings service runs in system context (ie, as root) and because of that, the connections it provides are available to all users. User settings services (nm-applet, knetworkmanager, etc) run in a user's login session, and because of that, the connections they provide are only usable by that user, not by other users. So the answer to your question depends on what settings service provides the connection you want to make NetworkManager apply to the device you're about to activate. When you know that, you pass that connection's D-Bus object path (as provided by the settings service that exports it) and that settings service name to NetworkManager. So if you know the UUID of the connection you want to connect, you do something like this (pseudo-code): my_uuid = "8c47de32-cc4a-437d-b340-ccdd1ccb3073" my_connection_path = NULL my_service = NULL # maybe the connection we're looking for is # provided by the system settings service for each connection exported by org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings: if this connection's UUID == my_uuid: my_connection_path = this connection D-Bus object path my_service = "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSystemSettings" # or maybe it's provided by the user settings service if not my_connection: for each connection exported by org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings: if this connection's UUID == my_uuid: my_connection_path = this connection D-Bus object path my_service = "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.ActivateConnection (my_service, my_connection_path, ...) > Can anyone post an example or clarify what this is exactly?
