[Bug 360818] Re: NetworkManager.vpn fails -- nm-vpn-connection.c.900: NeedSecrets

[Greg Smith]

My experience on my up to date Jaunty system matches that of #23 from
Mike Crowe.  After installing network-manager-openvpn I initially got
"VPN Connection failed because there were no valid VPN secrets" back
from the GUI.  After playing with the password settings to try and work
around that, the connection attempts just quietly failed with
"NetworkManager: nm-vpn-connection.c.900: NeedSecrets failed" in the
daemon.log.

All I had to do was reboot in order to fix this.  After that, I got the
"Allow application access to keyring?" prompt I remembered from the last
system where this worked properly, and then everything worked fine.  So
for the network-manager-openvpn incarnation of this problem at least, a
reboot seems the first thing to try after setting things up if the
connection fails with a NeedSecrets failure.
