Yes - highly (and easily) reproducible. 1. Use Windows as Server (I'm using XP), XUbuntu as Client 2. Install OpenVPN on Windows XP (download here http://swupdate.openvpn.org/community/releases/openvpn-2.2.2-install.exe) 3. Configure simple server on Windows (follow these instructions http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/miscellaneous/78-static-key-mini-howto.html) 4. Launch OpenVPN GUI on Windows (do NOT connect on windows) 5. Set up VPN Connection on XUbuntu - to match OpenVPN connection created on Windows Server 6. Connect on Windows 7. Connect on XUbuntu 8. Connection will be marked as "established" on XUbuntu - similar message seen on Windows 9. Verify connection by pinging server from client, and vice-versa (use IP addresses as defined in configuration). Will require Windows Firewall to be updated to return ICMP Echo Packets. 10. Disconnect VPN connection on Server/Windows (connection is not lost on Client/XUbuntu side) 11. Disconnect VPN connection on Client/XUbuntu side 12. Reconnect on Client/XUbuntu side. Connection will be shown as established on Client/XUbuntu (through pop-up window). Connection does not show as connected on Server/Windows. 13. Attempt to ping server from client - no success.
On step 12 above, the network-manager erroneously assumes the connection is established when it is done initializing - even before it made a connection with the server. Refer to the log output I provided with the original bug report. Hope this helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/909102 Title: network-manager-openvpn claims connection established when it's not To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/909102/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
