I have put a package for NetworkManager-pptp into the SUSE Build Service. Have a look at http://software.opensuse.org/download/home:/hgraeber/ It integrates PPTP support into NetworkManager similar to the openvpn support already deliverd with the Distribution. Give it a try. Cheers Herbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I have installed it, but don't see anything in NetworkManager for configuring a PPTP VPN. Is there something I'm missing? I've tried it on two different computers. tnx -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In knetworkmanager there is a submenu "VPN Connections". There You can choose "Configure VPN...". This starts a GNOME Dialog where you can manage VPN connections. Here you can press the "Add" Button (maybe it has an other name, here it is german, even when I have configured an english desktop) to add a new VPN and a wizard will be run where you can choose "pppd" tunnel (PPTP, BTGRPS, Dialup)". On the next page you can enter you VPNs name, choose the VPN type PPTP and enter the PPTP gateway you want to connetc to. On the following pages you can enter additional parameters. After defining a VPN you can start it from knetworkmanager using the submenu "VPN Connections" / "Connect to <your connetcion name>". Maybe you are using a GNOME desktop. This should work similar, because knetworkmanger is desinger closely after GNOMES NetworkManager Menu. BTW, you should look if you need a newer version of my RPM, because the first version had some problems because of some patch borrowed from ubuntu that should remove BTGPRS and Dialup support.

Is the package NetworkManager-gnome installed on your system? As mentioned by Herbert KNetworkManager depends on some GNOME bits for the VPN stuff (at least for now, this will change for OS10.3).

I have added Requires for pptp and NetworkManager-gnome. Now the package should work independent other already installed packages. Would be nice if the gnome dependencys could be reduced a little bit for people prefereing the KDE desktop.

Helmut recently checked in native Qt/KDE support [1]. Thus, the GNOME dependencies will be gone for good.

Maybe there is some dependcy missing, that is already fulfilled on my test system. First you should install the package pptp. As a second try you should install NetworkManager-openvpn. This may add the missing package(s), too. I will uninstall these packages on my system and have look the neccessary dependencys.

I have found the cause of this crash. It is some faulty memory management in nm-ppp-auth-dialog. Looks like the x86_64 architecture is more likely to crash with such issues.

Meanwhile pptp support is in GNOME CVS and has been heavily reworked for NetworkkManager 0.7. Nevertheless it may be useful for the author.

That would be nice. If this would lead to a pptp plugin for openSUSE 10.3, that would be great. My current status: The authdialog works. PPTP connects via WLAN, but not via a cable based network.

I have installed the 01 07 version, but I had to install the Gnome desktop to get the VPN option. While I can now use KNetworkManager to configure a VPN, it doesn't appear to save it. tnx jk -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
