Network Manager fails to connect to VPN (AnyConnect) - [vpn-mana ger/nm-vpn-connection.c:1770] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2 : (6) No agents were available for this request

[Wolf Rogner]

Installed vpnc
established vpn connection successfully
after restart, the vpn connection cannot be established any more

mbr NetworkManager[17397]: <error> [1441285066.578727] [vpn-mana
ger/nm-vpn-connection.c:1770] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2
: (6) No agents were available for this request.

Workaround:

rm .gconf/apps/nm-applet
logout/login
connect to VPN works

This surely cannot be a normal procedure

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Problem still exists.

This bug still applies with kernel 3.19.0-31-generic #36-Ubuntu SMP

Somewhere in this thread, I saw a ppa to download a fixed version of network manager. This didn't work for me, as the PPA is 404. I really need a fix, VPN access is critical

This issue still exists in Linux 4.2.0-22-generic #27-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 17 22:57:08 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is what happens in the log file:
...

Still seeing the same problem in Ububtu 15.10,
Kernel: 4.2.0-27-generic
OpenConnect: 7.0.6.2build1

Disconnects from vpn at least once every 45 minutes. Reconnects by itself (but that doesn't really help).
