Public bug reported: Just freshly installed Kubuntu 16.04. When trying to create a VPN in the network manager settings, the following error occurs:
"connection.gateway-ping-timeout: cannot set property: value of "###" of type 'guint' is invalid or out of range for property type 'gateway-ping- timeout' of type 'guint' " "###" is sometimes a different value and sometimes repeating. The issue happens for PPTP VPN as well as OpenConnect VPN (network-manager-openconnect was installed for this). It seems to be currently not possible to use Kubuntu 16.04 with a VPN, due to this bug. Therefore, it is quite critical for mobile usage (laptop) in public WLANs. $ apt-show-versions | grep network-manager network-manager:amd64/xenial 1.1.93-0ubuntu4 uptodate network-manager:i386 not installed network-manager-openconnect:amd64/xenial 1.0.2-1build1 uptodate network-manager-openconnect:i386 not installed network-manager-pptp:amd64/xenial 1.1.93-1ubuntu1 uptodate network-manager-pptp:i386 not installed Other users seem to have the problem as well: - https://askubuntu.com/questions/761646/intermittent-networkmanager-error-on-importing-ovpn-files-or-editing-such-conne - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2321553 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: network-manager 1.1.93-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-21.37-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-21-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: KDE Date: Mon Apr 25 21:28:45 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-04-25 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.3) IpRoute: default via 172.31.255.254 dev wlp3s0 proto static metric 600 default dev enp0s25 scope link metric 1002 linkdown 169.254.0.0/16 dev enp0s25 proto kernel scope link src 169.254.13.163 linkdown 172.31.255.0/24 dev wlp3s0 proto kernel scope link src 172.31.255.121 metric 600 NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true SourcePackage: network-manager UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) nmcli-con: NAME UUID TYPE TIMESTAMP TIMESTAMP-REAL AUTOCONNECT AUTOCONNECT-PRIORITY READONLY DBUS-PATH ACTIVE DEVICE STATE ACTIVE-PATH Forskningsnettverk Sognsvann 2bbff8c3-4a62-43e1-8bca-11af323eead6 802-11-wireless 1461612320 Mo 25 Apr 2016 21:25:20 CEST yes 0 no /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/0 yes wlp3s0 activated /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/0 nmcli-dev: DEVICE TYPE STATE DBUS-PATH CONNECTION CON-UUID CON-PATH wlp3s0 wifi connected /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/2 Forskningsnettverk Sognsvann 2bbff8c3-4a62-43e1-8bca-11af323eead6 /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/0 enp0s25 ethernet unmanaged /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0 -- -- -- lo loopback unmanaged /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1 -- -- -- nmcli-nm: Error: command ['nmcli', '-f', 'all', 'nm'] failed with exit code 2: Error: Object 'nm' is unknown, try 'nmcli help'. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial ** Summary changed: - VPN creation fails + VPN creation fails (Kubuntu 16.04 LTS) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1574826 Title: VPN creation fails (Kubuntu 16.04 LTS) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1574826/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
