[Bug 1422570] Re: Network indicator incorrectly claims no network available, VPN no longer working

 

Ah, thanks, I didn't know which project was the right one.
Unfortunately, I have since re-installed Vivid on that machine so I can
no longer reproduce.

Title:
  Network indicator incorrectly claims no network available, VPN no
  longer working

Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm not sure whether this is the right project...

  I did an apt-get upgrade on my vivid machine last week. Since then, my
  previously working VPN setup no longer works (both new and old VPN).

  Symptoms:

  - After rebooting and logging in and clicking on the up-down arrow
  icon, I see "No network devices available". That is definitely wrong,
  seeing that, as a matter of fact, I'm on my ethernet, and it's working
  fine. (I'm typing this on the affected machine.)

  - Since the reboot, my previously working VPN config is toast. I had
  both the old and the two new VPNs configured and working fine. Now,
  when I click on "VPN Connections", none of the previously configured
  networks are there. It's as if I had never configured anything.

  I figured I'll try re-adding the missing VPN config, but no joy. After
  re-adding a connection from my saved .conf file and clicking save, I
  get an error dialog:

  "Connection not visible or not available: Method "GetAll" with
  signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't
  existConnection not visible or not available: Method "GetAll" with
  signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't
  exist"

  I have not hacked around with anything on this machine. No PPAs or the
  like...

  I'd appreciate help with this. Right now, I can't access anything
  company-internal from that machine.
