[Bug 530402] Re: openvpn 'The VPN connection failed because the VPN service failed to start' error while connecting using nm-applet
Marking as Fix Released because David mentioned it worked in Lucid, however we don't know what caused the problem to not reappear. All, please remember that you need to restart your computer after installing a VPN plugin for it to be correctly seen by NM and DBus. If you find that you're still having issues connecting to the VPN after rebooting after the plugin is installed and verifying that the VPN settings are correct, please file a new separate bug. Ralf-Peter, network-manager-openconnect uses a different technology than openvpn. That would also warrant a separate bug. However, if it's an issue in Debian you should report it to the Debian developers, by following the instructions here: http://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting ** Changed in: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) Status: New => Fix Released -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530402 Title: openvpn 'The VPN connection failed because the VPN service failed to start' error while connecting using nm-applet -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same story here. Network manager keeps telling me "VPN service failed to start" each time I try to connect whereas manually configured pptp connection being started with "sudo pon providername" works excellent. -- openvpn 'The VPN connection failed because the VPN service failed to start' error while connecting using nm-applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 530402] Re: openvpn 'The VPN connection failed because the VPN service failed to start' error while connecting using nm-applet
I've had this problem for quite a while... I'm running Ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 with the default NetworkManager and OpenVPN plugin. Around 30% of connection attempts 'work' and about 70% fail exactly as described in this bug report. As far as I can tell, every setting is identical when the VPN works as when it fails... however, anecdotally, it seems that once it's failed once, it will fail again if tried immediately. Going for a cup-of-tea usually gives a fresh chance of it working - as does disconnecting and reconnecting to the Wireless network... annoyingly, running tail in /var/log also seems to change fortunes. The issue, to me, seems to be one of a timeout or similar. I access my VPN locally and remotely - only over WiFi. My server is a vanilla openvpn install on Gentoo. My certificates do not have passwords - others, elsewhere, suggest that giving their certificates passwords sometimes helps... this also hints at a timing issue. Incidentally, "Connect automatically" doesn't seem to work either... if my VPN connected automatically, it would be less frustrating if it took several attempts. -- openvpn 'The VPN connection failed because the VPN service failed to start' error while connecting using nm-applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

David, Could you please report on the versions of network-manager-pptp (and possibly network-manager-pptp-gnome on Lucid) that are installed, as well as the version of the network-manager package? ** Changed in: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- openvpn 'The VPN connection failed because the VPN service failed to start' error while connecting using nm-applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/530402 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
