I don't know if it's coming from network-manager, or from something else, I'm not the Linux specialist. All I know, is that it is working some times, and at some another moment, it does not start a connexion at all.
So, in order to know what's happen, I disabled "memorise password" to get a prompt at a start of the VPN. During former 4 weeks, everything worked ok : when I was clicking on the "connect VPN" option, the password window appeared and I was able to connect. Right now, since 1 week, again, it does not work and I can not connect: when I click on "connect VPM" in the network menu, nothing happen. It's ultimately annoying... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1477728 Title: Vivid VPN does not connect, "No valid VPN secrets" Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 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. The same situation occurs with other VPN types; I tried OpenVPN.
