This is really a problematic Bug! I could isolate the Problem a little more !
The Error Line VPN service 'openvpn' disappeared Can be found in: network-manager-0.9.10.0/src/vpn-manager/nm-vpn-service.c The Problematic Code Part where it breaks the OpenVPN Service if (old_owner_good && !new_owner_good) { /* service went away */ priv->service_running = FALSE; nm_log_info (LOGD_VPN, "VPN service '%s' disappeared", priv->name); nm_vpn_service_stop_connections (service, FALSE, NM_VPN_CONNECTION_STATE_REASON_SERVICE_STOPPED); } can be found in the function _name_owner_changed Maybe somebody know how to fix this now ? static void _name_owner_changed (NMDBusManager *mgr, const char *name, const char *old, const char *new, gpointer user_data) { NMVPNService *service = NM_VPN_SERVICE (user_data); NMVPNServicePrivate *priv = NM_VPN_SERVICE_GET_PRIVATE (service); gboolean old_owner_good, new_owner_good, success; if (strcmp (name, priv->dbus_service)) return; /* Service changed, no need to wait for the timeout any longer */ if (priv->start_timeout) { g_source_remove (priv->start_timeout); priv->start_timeout = 0; } old_owner_good = (old && old[0]); new_owner_good = (new && new[0]); if (!old_owner_good && new_owner_good) { /* service appeared */ priv->service_running = TRUE; nm_log_info (LOGD_VPN, "VPN service '%s' appeared; activating connections", priv->name); /* Expect success because the VPN service has already appeared */ success = start_active_vpn (service, NULL); g_warn_if_fail (success); } else if (old_owner_good && !new_owner_good) { /* service went away */ priv->service_running = FALSE; nm_log_info (LOGD_VPN, "VPN service '%s' disappeared", priv->name); nm_vpn_service_stop_connections (service, FALSE, NM_VPN_CONNECTION_STATE_REASON_SERVICE_STOPPED); } } P.S. I had nm-applet Crashing allways when this Log Lines are showed Oct 18 07:51:13 dbus[899]: [system] Activating via systemd: service name='org.freedesktop.hostname1' unit='dbus-org.freedesktop.hostname1.service' Oct 18 07:51:13 systemd[1]: Starting Hostname Service...
