better pptp error messages
Last modified: 2020-11-12 14:28:33 UTC
(from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462602) When nm-pptp fails to establish an pptp vpn connection Throw a msg bubble to the user of what went wrong and what and suggest a solution to fix it. For example nm failed to establish vpn connection make sure that port 1723 is open in the firewall etc.. Here's the error code list from M$ not sure if it helps.? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824864
from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=519175: Unfortunately, it's a bit hard to figure this out except for screenscraping /var/log/messages which kinda sucks. Also, unless pptp/pppd is run in verbose debug mode (which isn't pretty and also dumps to /var/log/messages) it's not possible to determine every cause of failure. But we'll see what we can do.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being shut down in favor of a GitLab instance. We are closing all old bug reports and feature requests in GNOME Bugzilla which have not seen updates for a long time. If you still use NetworkManager and if you still see this bug / want this feature in a recent and supported version of NetworkManager, then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/-/issues/ Thank you for creating this report and we are sorry it could not be implemented (workforce and time is unfortunately limited).
