@Matt: Yes, VPN via wireless. I tried a few more things. Still the same problems, _but_ I am not sure anymore if I am in the right discussion: Now I get this additional syslog output on a failed connection attempt:
Nov 18 15:54:39 knuff NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_vpn_connection_connect_cb(): VPN connection 'VPN LRZ' failed to connect: 'No VPN secrets!'. Nov 18 15:54:39 knuff NetworkManager: <WARN> connection_state_changed(): Could not process the request because no VPN connection was active. When I am searching for that, I get lots of related bugs, but not exactly my problem (failed on _second_ try, vpnc-plugin, password-based authentication). And I think, I located my problem after all: When I am looking into the VPN settings in the network-manager immediately after a boot (so before I am connecting the first time), I can see both passwords (group and user) which are saved there. After connecting and disconnecting, these fields are empty! After a reboot, the passwords are back again. And furthermore: When I reenter the passwords before a second connection attempt, it works! Now, is this a network-manager or a network-manager- pvnc bug and should I open a new one for that? -- vpnc will only connect successfully on first try per session https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/475814 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
