Well I just noticed that my VPN Connection manager actually does start up under the Xfce desktop environment (plus 1 point for Xfce) but does not under Gnome. I hope this brings up any clues but makes no sense to me why it would start on one and not the other :( - Jake On 10/11/07, Theo v. Werkhoven wrote:

Hello,

I installed NetworkManager-openvpn, NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome, and openvpn on SuSE 10.3 but when I try to open the VPN connection manager by going through my Gnome menu (Applications -> Internet -> Administration -> VPN Connection Manager (OpenVPN)) nothing comes up and I do not get anything in my /var/log/messages area. I am running this as a normal user.

How do I get this to work? What am I doing wrong?

Did you try kvpnc? Works for me.

Or not. Spoke too soon, kvpnc imported my client.conf successfully, and tries to open a tunnel, but never finishes. I'll just stick with vi and the init script to start and stop. That really works..

Don't get me wrong I can connect to my openvpn server from my own computer using openvpn on the command line but the point is I want to use the vpn connection manager program so I odn't have to use the command line and to easily manage connections. - Jake On 10/11/07, Kai Ponte wrote:

In the two companies I've worked for with VPN (both Cisco with a hardware key) I've only been able to get the Cisco VPN client to actually connect.

Bummer that it is command line.

Trim what quote? I don't see anything about quotes in the VPN Connection Manager? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

but when the same cmd is run from terminal it opens up with import window of VPN configuration. $nm-vpn-properties --import-serviceorg.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn --import-file %f where as the same doesn't do anything when we click the icon, but when two argument was removed it shows the VPN windows. The command contains just "nm-vpn-properties". -- c.s.prakash -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
