networkmanager-1.10 VPN Error: "Could not find source connection" when network booting.
I network boot so the linux kernel sets up eth0. In upgrading from nm 1.8.4 to 1.10 my VPN's broke with reason="Could not find source connection." Running 'nmcli connection' shows that eth0 is managed under both 1.8.4 and 1.10. I suspect this is a bug, but haven't found anything in the mail archives or bugzilla. Just wanted to bounce this off the list for some insight before opening up a bug report. - Donny ___ networkmanager-list mailing list networkmanager-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Ok. I'd prefer a general approach, not one for a single machine only. So I need some information about the type of connection this is. In my actual script I check for the type of device (NM_DEVICE_TYPE_*) combined with a few active checks into the network this device is connected to, to decide what actions to take. >When a connection is activated, it has an active-connection that >references it. Usually there is at most one such active-connection, >but while re-activating a connection there can be multiple once (one >that is about to deactivate, and once that is about to activate). Ok, I guess there are flags to check just like for devices? For that purpose I check NM_DEVICE_STATE_* in the actual script. >Anyway, you need to monitor these active connections for whether they >reference the profile you care about. The Manager's PropertyChanged >event for ActiveConnections notifies you when active-connection come to >be and cease to exist. Ok, this seems to be the important piece.
