Hi,
I'm trying to get openvpn and the NetworkManager plugin to work together
but I am having some troubles.
I started with installing both packages, but the openvpn plugin specific
menu options did not show up in the connection menu.
I read the documentation and noticed the "vpn-plugins" option in the
network-manager service declaration, so I added the network-manager-openvpn
service like this:
(modify-services %desktop-services
(network-manager-service-type config =>
(network-manager-configuration
(inherit config)
(vpn-plugins (list
network-manager-openvpn)))))))
After that, it now shows up and I can import openvpn connections (I noticed
it added a NM_VPN_PLUGIN_DIR environment variable) but I cannot connect.
When I click connect simply nothing happens, and the following log is
emitted to /var/log/debug
Dec 23 23:09:49 localhost NetworkManager[345]: <info> [1514070589.5044]
audit: op="connection-activate" uuid="36c09127-ffc0-4d46-9547-06e0ea214a15"
name="mullvad_de" pid=470 uid=1000 result="fail" reason="The VPN service
'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn' was not installed.
I researched the error message and it seems common when people don't have
plugin installed (obviously), but I also found this:
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/3539 which might be related.
I'm pretty new to guix and scheme so any help would be greatly appreciated
johannes
