Comment 5 for bug 117992

Hi,

Thanks for the attention to this bug.

I've just updated and have the new version of this package. Unfortunately, it now fails immediately every time. I've even deleted and recreated the vpn connection profile. Often, it leaves /usr/lib/network-manager-openvpn/nm-openvpn-service running in the background consuming all of the CPU.

Here's syslog output:

Oct 2 07:34:50 localhost NetworkManager: <WARN> nm_vpn_service_stop_connection(): (VPN Service org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn): could not stop connection 'xxxxxx' because service was 6.

When I connect from the command line, it connects right up.

Also, regarding the timeout patch, wouldn't it be preferable to have this be a user-configurable option. for some people 5s may be sufficient, while others may need 20-25s if the connection is really slow or saturated.
