I'm having trouble starting the connection editor. I can't start it from the GUI, so I tried entering nm-connection-editor at a terminal, but got this error. Anyone know what it means? I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 and haven't found any solutions for this error so far. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling network manager, but I get the same error.

nm-connection-editor: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-viavpn-properties.so: undefined symbol: LOG_init

  • I'm on 14.04 LTS and I don't have that /usr/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-viavpn-properties.so: file , but then again - i am not using vpn, so perhaps that's the error. Apr 8, 2016 at 21:42

  • I don't have clearpass onguard on this install. I'm not using a vpn either so I don't know what's causing this error at all.

I found a solution. It may not be the best solution, but I can now start the connection editor. After uninstalling network manager I deleted the /usr/lib/NetworkManager/ directory and its contents. Afterwards I reinstalled network-manager and network-manager-gnome and can now start the connection editor using the GUI and nm-connection-editor at the terminal.
