Description Lucien XU 2011-12-30 14:56:59 CET 
Description of problem:
I cannot use openconnect with networkmanager. It always failed to connect very quickly. In log, I can find that networkmanager cannot find openconnect binary :

Dec 30 14:48:34 celest NetworkManager[1690]: NetworkManager[1690]: <warn> VPN connection 'VPN EPFL' failed to connect: 'Could not find openconnect binary.'.

(using KDE)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
openconnect-3.15-1.mga2.x86_64
networkmanager-openconnect-0.9.0-1.mga2.x86_64
knetworkmanager-openconnect-0.9-1.20111130.1.mga2.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure a VPN access in networkmanager (I used KDE configuration tool)
2. Try to connect
3. It fail. And in log files, it is written that openconnect binary was not found

Hi, thanks for reporting this bug.

Assigned to the package maintainer.

maybe an upstream bug ?
(Please set the status to 'assigned' if you are working on it)

@lucien
Does it work using nm-applet ?
(the idea is to see if the bug is in nm or in knetworkmanager).

I don't remember clearly. I think no.
Will test again
Comment 5 Guillaume Rousse 2012-02-22 18:06:30 CET 
Same problem here. I've been unable to use strace to check if any attempt to find the binary was actually done:

[guillaume@beria ~]$ strace -e trace=open  -f -p 3226
[..]
[pid 10139] open("/home/guillaume/.icons/Adwaita/index.theme", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid 10139] open("/usr/share/icons/Adwaita/cursors/xterm", O_RDONLY) = 8
.. The authentication dialog happens here..
Process 10140 detached
Process 10139 detached
[pid  3226] --- {si_signo=SIGPIPE, si_code=SI_USER, si_pid=3226, si_uid=500} (Broken pipe) ---
[pid  3226] --- {si_signo=SIGCHLD, si_code=CLD_EXITED, si_pid=10139, si_status=0, si_utime=44, si_stime=17} (Child exited) ---

Comment 6 Guillaume Rousse 2012-02-24 14:49:12 CET 
I just fixed the openconnect plugin, by rebuilding it. Apparently the previous one didn't had the correct path included.
