Unable to start VPN Connection

gringo007

Hello,
I'm running Solus 4.3 with Gnome on a Dell XPS 11.
Everything is running fast and working out of the Box, great Work!
But I'm unable to create a VPN Connection because the Network-Connection Manager can not be loaded.
Anyone here who can help me to solve this problem?
Thank you for helping (sorry for the bad english, i'm a Bavarian 😉 )

Are you using a specific VPN service? There are some packages in the repository implementing support for e.g. Fortinet in network-manager (can't check their naming scheme atm because I'm on my phone)

Maybe you could also elaborate on what steps you're trying to do, and where exactly it fails.

I'm using Surfshark VPN.
There is no Error when i import the saved Files.
But i have to Log in with Username and Password to make the Connection, the fields where i could write the Username and Password ist not showing.
Error Message Like in the first Post.
Should i Upload a Screenshot with the Error?
Thx for your Help.

What type of authentication do you have selected:
password; password and certificate; certificate?

Show me yet eopkg li | grep vpn. What do you choose when you add a new connection?

i start it from the gnome-gui, see screenshot, settings->network->vpn->import.
how can i start it from the terminal?

pomon

Weird. After importing with me:

You haven't given the answer you have VPN packages

gringo007

here is the output from the terminal:
networkmanager-openvpn - OpenVPN plugin for NetworkManager
openvpn - OpenVPN Client
vpnc - client for cisco vpn concentrator

It seems that the file you downloaded is damaged or bad. Because the rest is fine.

gringo007

After downloading a new file the same problem.
I've tested the file on a ubuntu gnome live system, all worked fine.
Any other idea what could happened?

pomon

So this happens probably after the update. Try to run the system on the kernel lts.

gringo007

With kernel-lts same error appears.

Hi,
i'm not able to choose any kind of this because it is not showing. The nm-connection-editor can not be loaded - is the message under the field of file import.

pomon

This may check if this is happening on another program, e.g. network-manager-applet

gringo007

Network-Manager-Applet is working as well.
I solved my problem by reinstall Solus because from Live-System the nm-connection-editor worked.
After fresh Install i add my vpn Connections.
Now the VPN is able to start.
After Update the same problem appears but the VPN ist already able to start so it is ok for me.
Think about a Update Problem?
