I use VPN in every Ubuntu version, usually pptp type. Starting with Vivid new problem raised: the connection, which is properly configured and working first time after the fresh OS installation, does not initiate when the computer is rebooted.
Scenario: - installing Vivid, from scratch - configuring WiFi access - connecting to the WiFi - verifying: everything works fine, including Internet access and browsing - using right-screen network icon, creating the VPN pptp tunnel - connecting to the VPN, animated wifi icon runs and connects - checking : everything works fine reboot - reconnecting to the WiFi with the menu icon: ok - checking : Internet works, everything OK - clicking on VPN name connection in the network menu in the right, upper side menu icon: nothing happens. There is no usual "connecting" animated icon, the VPN does not starts - rebooting, restarting network manager, recreating the new VPN under the new name does not solve the problem. Trying with the nmcli from Terminal au a normal user: $ nmcli con up vpnname (or sudo nmcli con up vpnname) nothing happens. After the 90 seconds, there is a time-out message . Connecting as a root: root@.... nmcli con up vpnname instantaneous message : "No valid VPN secrets" Restarting the network-manager does not solve the problem. In /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ConnectionName there is a small binary file under the VPN connexion name, it is impossible to edit it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300097 Title: NetworkManager VPN openconnect fails to connect on 14.04 after update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openconnect/+bug/1300097/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
