I use vmware for my dev work with ubuntu 12.04. I just installed KDE for add my vpn connection, the configuration seems ok.

But I can't find how to connect my interface eth0 with my VPN.

When I try

nmcli con up id "VPN NAME CONNECTION"

I have this error

(process:2604): GLib-WARNING **: (/build/buildd/glib2.0-2.32.3/./glib/gerror.c:390):g_error_new_valist: runtime check failed: (domain != 0)

Error: No suitable device found: no active connection or device.

I read many thread and no one help with my trouble. Anyone have an idea ?

  • That error generally means eth0 is not up, not managed by network-manager or has a VPN on it already. Is any of these three conditions true?

  • Eth0 is up How I can check if my eth0 is managed by network-manager ? I don't have VPN on it

  • Did you set it up with networkmanager? Does nmcli con | grep ethernet list it?

  • nmcli con | grep ethernet didn't list any interface. I never user network manager, vmware find automaticly my card

NetworkManager cannot manage VPN connections on devices it doesn't also manage, so you have two options here

  • Use NetworkManager to manage your eth0 wired connection and the VPN
  • Don't use NetworkManager to manage either, manage them both manually

I'm afraid you cannot mix and match this.
