[Bug 475814] Re: vpnc will only connect successfully on first try per session

[Mathijs Dumon]

Hi everyone,

I have the same issue, but only when I set my vpn connection to be
"Available to all users". The first time I connect it works fine, if I
then disconnect, or the connection is dropped by the VPN server, I
cannot reconnect. The error nm-applet gives me:

** (nm-applet:4357): WARNING **: _nm_object_get_property: Error getting 'Devices' for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/8: Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist
** (nm-applet:4357): WARNING **: _nm_object_get_property: Error getting 'Devices' for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/8: Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist
** (nm-applet:4357): WARNING **: _nm_object_get_property: Error getting 'ServiceName' for /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/8: Method "Get" with signature "ss" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist
** (nm-applet:4357): CRITICAL **: applet_get_connection_for_active: assertion `scope != NM_CONNECTION_SCOPE_UNKNOWN' failed

So it seems as if nm-applet is unaware that the connection is dropped
and is looking for a non-existing one which causes a crash in nm-applet.
Restarting network-manager solves this issue, restarting nm-applet does
not solve the issue. So somehow nm-applet gets (wrong) information from
network-manager about a non-existing vpn connection.
