Using networkmanager-openvpn- 0.9.8.4 patched to use libsecret, I am unable to connect. After configuring the vpn connection using gnome-control-center, I'm prompted for the vpn password, but after entering it I get the error " Connection activation failed: the VPN service failed to start". Running from the command line gives the output below. The tun module is compiled into the 3.8.13 kernel I'm using (CONFIG_TUN=y), is this the source of the error?
Yes. Seems like that is the cause of the error:
if (system ("/sbin/modprobe tun") == -1)
exit (EXIT_FAILURE);
https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-openvpn/tree/src/nm-openvpn-service.c#n1626
I am not sure, how to fix that best(?)
