[Bug 1323594] Re: vpn auto-connect works, but doesn't connect automatically when network is available.

 

Same, on my Zenbook with Ubuntu 14.04, and my netbook with Mint 17
Cinnamon Edition. When set to automatically connect to the VPN it
doesn't automatically connect to the WIFI, when manually connecting to
the WIFI it does connect to the VPN.

Title:
  vpn auto-connect works, but doesn't connect automatically when network
  is available.

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I'm having a bug in Ubuntu Trusty Tahr 14.04 LTS. The issue I'm having
  is that with a connection set to auto-connect to a PPTP-vpn, it does
  not auto-connect when (wireless)-network becomes available.

  Syslog returns this error:

  <error> [1401130450.367538] [nm-vpn-connection.c:1374]
  get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2: (6) No agents were
  available for this request.

  However it does connect when when connecting to the particular
  connection manually. e.g. I select the wireless network in the
  network-manager.

  This bug seems related to bugs:
  #280571
  #1297849
  #1247682 
  #1298047

  The difference between my situation and the others is that vpn-
  autoconnect does work, it just doesn't work automatically.
