I am setting up Cisco VPN on Ubuntu 12.04, when I run into strange behavior. I have downloaded and installed the following packages: vpnc network-manager-vpnc
and dependencies.
When adding the connection with network manager, I am not able to save the connection - I only get this error
I have tried different settings, tried importing cisco .pcf
without any luck so far.
Errors
While searching for solutions, I have stumbled upon a way to restart the network manager applet:
killall nm-applet; nm-applet &
This did not solve my problems, but I noticed that a log is written to the terminal after running the command, and I think it may tell something (no idea what, though!)
After clicking save, these lines are written in the terminal:
(nm-applet:4079): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_async_initable_real_init_finish: assertion `g_simple_async_result_is_valid (res, G_OBJECT (initable), g_async_initable_real_init_async)' failed
