"invalid vpn secrets" problem for networkmanager has driven me mad

The problem came out after the huge update (libpng/libjpeg) several days ago (but is probably not a problem caused by it). I was not able to start X after that update, and had no time to waste on the fixing, so I just tried to enable testing (though that did not help). And I found my networkmanager-pptp was updated.
The problem now is that I cannot use networkmanager to connect to the internet through vpn (pptp). An error message "... invalid vpn secrets" comes out every time. I tried different solutions, including:
1. delete and reconfigure the vpn settings
2. downgrade networkmanger and related packages
3. delete ~/.gnome2/keyrings
4. use gconf-editor to set "refuse-eap" somewhere
and several other dirty fixes, but all these did not bring the function back.
The laptop is useless without network and graphical tools. I am still suffering. Anybody can help me?

i also had this problem and was able to get it working again by removing networkmanager (plus packages depending on it) and upgrading to -git packages from aur:
network-manager-applet-git-20100212-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz 
networkmanager-pptp-git-20100212-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
networkmanager-git-20100212-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
in short, i just used:
pacman -Rcs networkmanager
pacman -S gtk-doc # (missing dependency for networkmanager-git)
yaourt -S networkmanager-pptp-git

  • [SOLVED] VPN Secrets failure from NetworkManager.

    So, at some point recently, VPN connection stopped working via nm-applet in Mate.  Not entirely sure at what point it started, I dont use my VPN connection all that often.  OpenVPN connects fine on its own, but when I try to connect via NetworkManager, I get the classic "The VPN Connection Failed because there were no valid VPN Secrets"
    I have gotten this before and it was related to gnome-keyring.  I don't think its the same this time.  journalctl is showing the following error:
    NetworkManager[375]: <error> [1429861241.801229] [vpn-manager/nm-vpn-connection.c:1899] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2: (5) User canceled the secrets request.
    In the past, when I saw this and when I search for this, its all about "(6) No agents were available for this request" and all of those are gnome-keyring related.  Just to be sure, I have wiped out ~/.local/share/keyrings.  It killed all of my keyring entries, but did nothing to fix this.
    If I try to edit the VPN entry in nm-connection-editor (as user, works as root) I get "Error initializing editor.  User canceled the secrets request."  This is making me think I have something messed up for permissions somewhere.  It doesn't seem to be in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections that the permissions problem lies.
    I am not finding anything about this slightly different error I am getting.  I can connect to the vpn with openvpn from command line fine, but I have grown weak and want my damned nm-applet connection to work.  Any help or clues anyone can give is appreciated.

    seem it was a glibc issue, I fixed it by doing this http://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comme … ng/cqm1ogl

  • Invalid CFStringRef - encoding Problem for Transaction Verification

    Hi,
    I need to encode my transaction receipt to send it to my server, but the encoding method is turning the transactionReceipt into an "invalid CFStringRef"
    I am using this method:
    - (void) buyCashOnHomeServerWithTransaction: (SKPaymentTransaction *)transaction {
    if ([delegate respondsToSelector:@selector(buyCash:code:)]){
    //NSString * receiptKey = [self generateReceiptKey:transaction];
    //[delegate buyCash:transaction.payment.quantity code:receiptKey];
    NSString * code;
    code = [self encode:(uint8_t *)transaction.transactionReceipt.bytes length:transaction.transactionReceipt.length];
    [delegate buyCash:transaction.payment.quantity code:code];
    - (NSString *)encode:(const uint8_t *)input length:(NSInteger)length {
    static char table[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789+/=";
    NSMutableData *data = [NSMutableData dataWithLength:((length + 2) / 3) * 4];
    uint8_t *output = (uint8_t *)data.mutableBytes;
    for (NSInteger i = 0; i < length; i += 3) {
    NSInteger value = 0;
    for (NSInteger j = i; j < (i + 3); j++) {
    value <<= 8;
    if (j < length) {
    value |= (0xFF & input[j]);
    NSInteger index = (i / 3) * 4;
    output[index + 0] = table[(value >> 18) & 0x3F];
    output[index + 1] = table[(value >> 12) & 0x3F];
    output[index + 2] = (i + 1) < length ? table[(value >> 6) & 0x3F] : '=';
    output[index + 3] = (i + 2) < length ? table[(value >> 0) & 0x3F] : '=';
    NSString * returnString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding] autorelease];
    NSLog(@"encode %@", returnString);
    return returnString;
    - (void) buyCash:(int) quantity code:(NSString*) code{
    [code retain];
    NSLog(@"buyCash, %d ", quantity);
    [responseString setString:@""];
    NSString * requestString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@%d?code=%@",SERVERNEARBYDOMAIN, SERVER_BUYCASH, quantity, code];
    requestString = [requestString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"request from buyCashConnection: %@", requestString);
    NSURLRequest * requestUrl = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:requestString]
    cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy
    timeoutInterval:timeOutInterval];
    connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:requestUrl delegate:self startImmediately:TRUE];
    if (connection){
    NSLog(@"ok -connection not null");
    [code release];
    but on the console, everything seems fine, and the encoded string from my console is verifyable - but not useable withing my code as a String - invalid CFStringRef:

    I was running my project in the release-status. And this confused my debugger (it did not break at all breakpoints..) - at least it seems so, because everything is running fine again.

  • NetworkManager applet doesn't prompt for VPN secret for non-root user

    I'm using NetworkManager in GNOME DE. When logged in as non-root user, I'm unable to connect to a vpnc profile.
    * As non-root, I am able to add/remove/alter/connect to WiFi network profiles with no trouble.
    * As non-root, I am also able to add/remove/alter vpnc profiles.
    * However, the VPN group key and VPN user password do not appear to store properly when adding/editing the profile as non-root. I can enter them, but when I bring the dialog back up, they are always blank. Even so, I can see an entry for vpnc in the Gnome keyring.
    * When I slide the on/off switch to try to connect with the vpn profile, there is no prompt for the VPN group key or password. The switch just slides back to Off immediately and I can see the text 'authentication required' flash briefly where it shows the connection status. After that flashes, the connection status is back to 'Not connected'. No error message displays.
    * If I sign in as root, there are no problems. The VPN 'secrets' will save properly in the dialog, and also if I leave them blank, I'm prompted for them when I activate the connection.
    * Creating the connection as 'root' is not an option, as this doesn't appear in profile list when signing on as non-root.
    Any ideas on where to look or what to check? As mentioned above, non-root can maintain WiFi connections through NetworkManager just fine, so the problem appears localized to VPN 'secrets'. Also other applications (i.e. Evolution) have no trouble in dealing with authentication.
    I do have polkit installed:
    extra/polkit 0.110-2 [installed]
    Application development toolkit for controlling system-wide privileges
    extra/polkit-kde 0.99.0-2
    Daemon providing a polkit authentication UI for KDE
    extra/polkit-qt 0.103.0-2
    A library that allows developers to access PolicyKit API with a nice Qt-style API
    community/polkit-gnome 0.105-1 [installed]
    PolicyKit integration for the GNOME desktop

    Update/more information on this...
    My typical/preferred setup for my VPNs is to save the VPN group key, but to be prompted for my VPN user password on each connect. So, this is how I was trying to setup in the applet. Interestingly, I have found that if I save BOTH of the 'secrets' to the keyring, then I can connect!
    The behavior is still as above in the dialog -- both secrets are blank if I edit the connection, although they are present in the Gnome keyring. As long as they are BOTH there, I can connect fine. But, if I have either of them set to 'Always Ask', then I am not prompted for them and the connection fails.
    Although I can work with this, I would certainly still like to figure out what is going on and fix it, as it does bother me that it works that way:
    * Why can't the dialog redisplay my secrets when I edit a connection as non-root?
    * Why doesn't Always Ask work to prompt me for secrets when running as non-root?
    Any ideas? I've used the Gnome/NetworkManager/vpnc combination on other desktops (this is my first Arch), and I have never seen anything like this.

  • "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature.

    Hi. Iam trying to update from iTunes 7.3.2.6 to iTunes 7.6.2 but always get this message: "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed. Can anybody help me wth this?

    always get this message: "Apple Software Update for Windows" has an invalid signature. It will not be installed.
    There is a problem on some XP machines where Apple Software Update for Windows version 2.0.0.21 will always return an invalid signature message when trying to update to ASU 2.1.0.110. Since it tries to do that prior to updating other software, the update of the other software is blocked. (To check what version of ASU you have, launch ASU by going "Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update", and then in ASU go "Help > About Apple Software Update".)
    The way around that issue (if that's what you've got) is to update itunes using the link to the iTunes installer that Jefe gave you in his/her post. That iTunes installer will also update your ASU to at least ASU version 2.0.2.92 which should then be able to successfully update itself to ASU 2.1.0.110 next time you run ASU.

    Computer iMac7,1 has been giving sundry problems for sometime. Within the last six weeks I have reinstalled the OS (Snow Leopard),without affecting the overall contents of the hard drive.
    ±3 weeks later the problems became more serious and I againreinstalled the OS and installed OS 6.6.7 from the internet.
    I used the option to restore from the external backup driveand went back some time as it was my intention to reinstall individualcomponent in an attempt to find out where the problem might lie. This hasintroduced an entirely new problem! If I open Time Machine from the desktop itappears that all backups from late 2009 to June 2011 are intact. But, in thiscase there are none of the restore functions &c on screen. The latter areonly shown if Time Machine is opened from the menu bar or from the dock but, inthis case, available are only backups in late 2009!
    I also opened the Apple Hardware Test in an attempt toestablish the nature of the problem. The ‘quick’ version said there’s nothingwrong; the more detailed one reported “Error detected, 4HD/11/40000004.” I haveagain tried to employ this test but nothing I do can induce it to open!!!
    What to do? I need help urgently and would appreciate anyadvice that offers solutions to the problem.

    To check your S.M.A.R.T status open disk utility and click on your drive and then click on the info icon.

  • Has anyone had any luck returning there iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac....  Looks like folks have been having this problem for months

    Has anyone had any luck returning their iMac w/ Lion? I couldn't even reconnect back to the iternet tonight w/o restarting my new iMac....  Looks like folks have been having this problem for months & months .. The Apple tech told me that all I could do is wait for Apple to come up with a fix... Got a new router this week so that isnt' it.  Would I be better off w/o this until Apple gets their act together?  I downloaded the combo update 10.7.3 & it helped for about a day...  yesterday I still had to manually reset the connection but now it's resorting back to disconnectiong w/o fully going into sleep mode first.  Sorry to say this is a major lemon.  Help!

    Seems unfair... I thought I was probalby having a router problem...  got a new router this week. Thst's when we realized we have a computer problem.  My next door nieghbor got zero sleep staying up all night while trying to help us figure out what the problem could be. He said if it were him he would have returned the iMac / Lion.  Got the new iMac w/ Lion for Christmas but didn't realize until this week that Apple is the problem....  Hard to believe that Apple just has kept on selling this like ... oh  No problem!  Can't stay on the internet... but will sell you another one today!  I'm getting mad...  It's not every day we spend that kind of money on a computer .  & ALL they can give us is that LOUSY Lion combo update.  I can't even stay connected long enough to make a vitamin order with Puritan's Pride...  & then the disconnection wipes out my cart... so I have to  start over. When are they going to fix this!   'Not feeling very positive'.  I feel like Apple KNOWINGLY sold my husband a defective... system.  14 days... oh please...

  • When downloading updates for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed.

    When downloading updated for Quicktime 7 and Itunes 10 I keep getting an error saying that files shared by these updates has an invalid signature and that the downloaded has been removed. If I don't get that message I get a message saying that the download was unsuccesful and that in order to download I need to go to tools and then select dowload only. Please help I really want to update my iphone!

    Thanks for helping out, but I already tried these steps.
    I even tried this on a iMac with similar results. The only difference was that the errorcode was called 2001 instead of 21.
    Today I took the phone to www.iphoneambulancen.dk. A guy (in Aarhus, Denmark) that specializes in iPhone repairs. I figured, that given his occupation he'd seen most errorcdes. Two hours later, he called me back, and told me that he had replaced the battery.
    So, it turns out that a broken battery can cause this behaviour.
    But thanks again

    Hi,
    I would suggest you check with any other colleague if they are able to run the same or not. Running BEx report depends hugely on the front end capacity and performance. Please check if anyone else can run the same report, with the same front end RAM, then it might be the problem with your installation.
    Also you can try with the latest patch for GUI s/w.
