[Rejean Groleau <rejeangroleau@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have the exact same issue, with the same symptoms. My computer (64-bit
ubuntu 14.10 laptop) sometimes cannot access any vpn at all, whether it
is an openvpn or an ipsec vpn. From the GUI front end of the Network
Manager, clicking on the vpn connection in the menu to initiate a
connection just fails silently (the menu closes, and nothing happens).
When using the command line tool (nmcli c up uuid ...) the result is:
"Error: Connection activation failed: no valid VPN secrets".

It seems to be related to the networkmanager not being able to retrieve
the password information from the gnome keyring, but I have no idea how
to permanently fix this. So far, I just delete the connection and re-
create it again to make it works. It is time-consuming, and I would
really like a real fix for this bug.

Note that the keyring seems to be unlocked just fine since my ssh id_rsa
is working without asking me for the password.
