Description Miguel de Icaza 2005-09-08 22:45:54 UTC 
I tried to setup the VPN with NetworkManager and it crashes when I finish
filling up the form.

The error happens inside "free":

vpn_druid_vpn_confirm_page_prepare in file nm-vpn-properties.cs:320

I would post a stack trace but the machine with NetworkManager refuses to get a
network connection for more than a few minutes.
Comment 1 Miguel de Icaza 2005-09-08 23:12:32 UTC 
I rebiuld from source rpms, and I discovered that the NetworkManager and the
NetworkManager-vpnc do not agree on the public interface.

In particular in this method, they are expecting an extra argument to return a
string in a parameter (gchar **), while the implementation in
NetworkManager-vpnc does not do this and instead returns the value.

So basically the two src.rpms that we have are incompatible with each other, it
seems like someone is pulling the wrong header file or the jails are not
entirely clean.
Comment 2 Miguel de Icaza 2005-09-08 23:52:30 UTC 
This is with the NetworkManager packages found on dist.suse.de for last-i386

By using the packages from Robert's web page, everything works.

0.4.1cvs20050901 packages submitted and fix this problem.  Should be in Rc2.
