I may be in the same situation as Trafex since none of the solutions posted here have worked for me. Maybe we have a slightly different issue. I tried the steps described by Pavel in #70. I was not able to proceed past step 2, as the nm-applet menu never reappeared after I killed it. I had to log out and log back in to get it back. Here are the contents of nmapplet.log - pasting it directly here since it was very short:
(nm-applet:6279): nm-applet-DEBUG: applet now removed from the notification area (nm-applet:6279): nm-applet-DEBUG: gnome-shell is not running, registering secret agent (nm-applet:6279): nm-applet-DEBUG: old state indicates that this was not a disconnect 0 (nm-applet:6279): nm-applet-DEBUG: foo_client_state_changed_cb nm-applet-Message: using fallback from indicator to GtkStatusIcon (nm-applet:6279): nm-applet-DEBUG: status_icon_size_changed_cb(): status icon size 16 requested At this point I had waited a few minutes and the applet never came back, so I ctrl-c'd to stop the process, and then logged out and logged back in. When I logged back in I found a bit more had been added to the log: nm-applet-Message: PID 0 (we are 6279) sent signal 2, shutting down... g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Underlying GIOStream returned 0 bytes on an async read (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting. nm-applet-Message: PID 6279 (we are 6279) sent signal 15, shutting down... (nm-applet:6279): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 87 was not found when attempting to remove it (nm-applet:6279): nm-applet-DEBUG: destroying secret agent That's where it stopped. I have attached the full log to this post. In the meantime, I have been getting on my vpn by connecting and disconnecting via the terminal. It seems to work fine for me when I do it via the terminal, so I figured the problem was with the applet. ** Attachment added: "nmapplet.log" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/1297849/+attachment/4257547/+files/nmapplet.log -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297849 Title: Virtual private network connection fails after distribution upgrade due to outdated Network Manager configuration files To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/hundredpapercuts/+bug/1297849/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
