L2TP over IPsec VPN Manager

Could not start "xl2tpd": last command timed out.

Asked by Jianyi XU

Hi,

I am a beginner to Ubuntu, and I installed 11.10 on my laptop.
I tried to connect to the L2TP/IPsec VPN of my campus network, but every time it failed with the following information:

ipsec_setup: Stopping Openswan IPsec...
Stopping xl2tpd: xl2tpd.
ipsec_setup: Starting Openswan IPsec U2.6.28/K3.0.0-12-generic...
Starting xl2tpd: xl2tpd.
Last command timed out

So... Any suggestions?

This problem disappeared as I reboot the laptop. However, I still could not get connected to the VPN. Since the problem becomes different, I have raised another question on that issue.

Thanks.
