[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#951524: network-manager: Cannot connect to VPN for unmanaged wired connection: "Could not find source connection."

[kiemlicz]

Package: network-manager
Version: 1.14.6-2+deb10u1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,


   * What led up to the situation?
I want to connect to VPN

Default Debian buster installation
I've imported VPN connection

Trying to connect yields:
Feb 17 20:44:16 EDIT NetworkManager[721]: <info>  [1581968656.1998] audit:
op="connection-activate" uuid="31befe8d-800a-4905-97e4-16cd0aed0c30"
name="EDIT" pid=2104 uid=1000 result="fail" reason="Could not find source
connection."

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
I guess it might be caused by the fact that NetworkManager doesn't manage wired
connection.
Yet it is still not what the user expects.
Unfortunately switching the connection to be managed by NetworkManager doesn't
help (the wired connection stuck in activating->deactivating loop, I'm going to
submit another bug)
   * What was the outcome of this action?

name="EDIT" pid=2104 uid=1000 result="fail" reason="Could not find source
connection."
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
Successful VPN connection

Kind regards
Stanley
