Under Ubunutu 14.04, when trying to connect to an openvpn server via nm-applet I get the response in /var/log/syslog
NetworkManager[3590]: <error> [1412801125.247964] [nm-vpn-connection.c:1374] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2: (6) No agents were available for this request.
As far as I can tell gnome-keyring is running
% ps -aux | grep keyring
xyz 2129 0.0 0.0 248980 4920 ? Sl 13:36 0:00 /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon --start --components=ssh
What's up with this? Should there be components other than SSH listed?
If I go to nm-applet > VPN Connections > Edit Configure VPN > Password choosing either "Saved" or "Always ask" causes this problem.
I think I got into this state by installing the headless server distribution of ubunutu and later installing gnome.
