Re: NM-vpn no vpn secrets

Dan,

Yes I deleted that. What was before were the messages that you get when successfully establishing a VPN connection. SIGTERM[hard,] happens because I manually close the vpn at that point. I assumed those log before were not that interesting.

BTW Anton Lindström found a work around the problem

Just want to comment that I have found a workaround for network-manager-openvpn: Instead of selecting authentication type "Certificate (TLS)" (I'm translating this to English so it might not be exactly the same) I select "Password with certificate (TLS)". Then I fill in a bogus username and password.


This works for me for now.

Do you get anything from openvpn *before* the SIGTERM[hard,] bits?
We're more interested in what happens before that.
