NM tries to run VPN service with wrong path

[Chad Miller]

Raring.

$ dpkg -l network-manager network-manager-openvpn
ii network-manager 0.9.6.0+git2013010 i386 network management framework (daemon and userspace tools)
ii network-manager-openvpn 0.9.6.0-0ubuntu2 i386 network management framework (OpenVPN plugin core)

Use NM.

Install "network-manager-openvpn". Configure. Start VPN interface via applet or app. Syslog:

Feb 18 05:48:44 localhost NetworkManager[1053]: <info> Starting VPN service 'openvpn'...
Feb 18 05:48:44 localhost NetworkManager[1053]: <warn> VPN service 'openvpn': could not launch the VPN service. error: (8) Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/network-manager-openvpn/nm-openvpn-service" (No such file or directory).
Feb 18 05:48:44 localhost NetworkManager[1053]: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/48 failed to activate: (3) Failed to execute child process "/usr/lib/network-manager-openvpn/nm-openvpn-service" (No such file or directory)

This continues until you restart network-manager altogether.

$ dpkg -L network-manager-openvpn |grep lib
/usr/lib
/usr/lib/NetworkManager
/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-openvpn-service
/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-openvpn-service-openvpn-helper

The latest version in raring is 0.9.7.995+git201301311547.17123fc-0ubuntu1. Does it still have the bug?

[Chad Miller (cmiller)]

I don't know. I can not know I'm actually returning to the point where I configured but NOT restarted network-manager yet. I don't have a fresh machine with which to test.

[Expired for network-manager (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Roland Plüss (rpluess)]

Still not working in saucy. Path can not be found. VPN not usable from applet.
