[solved] networkmanager-vpnc

Hello everyone,

I added a vpnc using networkmanager-vpnc but when i try to activate it i get the following message:

Jun 27 19:35:55 himmel NetworkManager[333]: <warn> connection /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/2 failed to activate: (2) The VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc' was not installed.

i checked the boards but couldn't find anything to help me solve this issue, has anyone encountered this before?

Thanks in advanced for your time and assistance.

Zerosoul.

Re: [solved] networkmanager-vpnc

you actually want to restart networkmanager daemon after installing the extesion.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Re: [solved] networkmanager-vpnc

this is odd, seems that those packages were already installed on the machine

[angel@himmel ~]$ sudo pacman -S networkmanager-vpnc vpnc

After this, i was able to connect to VPN, ill do a reboot and see if it works without having to restart the networkmanager daemon.

# Issue solved.
