Network Manager shows error icon after successfully connecting to a VPN

Asked by Joxean Koret

Hi,

I'm suspicious about this behaviour. 1 week ago I noticed that NM is showing an error icon in the notification area after successfully connecting to a VPN. It's the first time I see this icon and, I repeat, the VPN connection works. The following is what I have in my /var/log/syslog:

Code:

Feb 16 10:49:45 backup-server nm-dispatcher.action: Script '/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/01ifupdown' exited with error status 1.

I suspect the culprit is the last line where 01ifupdown fails. Any idea about what is happening? I updated my x86_64 Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS today and, also, the company updated (apt-get upgrade) the VPN server recently.

Thanks in advance!
