[Bug 345150] [NEW] network-manager-openvpn fails if "System setting" checked in Intrepid

[Kevin Krsulich]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn

With a network-manager-configuration that works perfectly without the system setting checked on the latest Intrepid (upgraded from Hardy), two odd things occur when trying to check the "System setting" box:
1) The box doesn't stick unless some other field is changed as well. That is, open nm, edit VPN config, tick or untick "System setting" check box, return and settings are unchanged.
2) The VPN no longer works. A pop up gives the error "VPN connection failed - The VPN connection '<vpn_name>' failed because the VPN service failed to start."

Syslog shows the following:

Mar 18 19:33:39 hardy NetworkManager: <info>  Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'... 
Mar 18 19:33:39 hardy NetworkManager: <info>  VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn' started (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn), PID 5095

Mar 18 19:33:52 hardy NetworkManager: <debug> [1237419232.001000] ensure_killed(): vpn service pid 5095 cleaned up 

This is with openvpn-2.1~rc11-1ubuntu2 and network-manager-
openvpn-0.7~~svn20081015t024626-0ubuntu1.

Thanks.
