Comment 91 for bug 360818

network-manager-openvpn was working fine under Jaunty, but since updating to Karmic it doesn't. However, I got the opposite behavior of the workaround listed -- with a root shell open, it connects properly; without one, it fails with the 'No VPN secrets!' error.

The at_console patch in #80 does fix it for me (after rebooting), but people say that's wrong...

network-manager-vpnc does exhibit the behavior described (connects w/o root shell, fails w/ a root shell), without any at_console entry in dbus, so it does appear that the openvpn issues are probably a separate bug.
