I just upgraded from your ppa and intalled pptp and openvpn plugins and they work great until I try to connect. When I connect to one of the defined networks I get the following message in the logs:
"Aug 12 15:38:10 luis-lpt NetworkManager: <WARN> get_secrets_cb(): Couldn't get connection secrets: vpn-password-dialog.c.254 (nma_vpn_request_password): couldn't run VPN auth dialog.."
What can I do to work around this problem?

I bumped to a new upstream release (12th Aug) and uploaded that together with a probable fix for the vpn password dialog issue to the network-manager PPA.

I hope the builds will finish without failure in the next few hours.

Remember that you need to upgrade everything (daemon, libs, applet and vpn plugins) and then reboot to get the latest.

Everything is from Aug 12th...

The only difference I see is that the openvpn plugin and networkmanager-gnome are nm1~hardy1

That looks good. not sure whats going on. have you restarted your system? if not, please do.

If all that doesnt help, I'll look in the code.

Yes I restarted my computer (twice) and still have this error.

Can it be because i did modify the nm-openvpn-service.conf when trying to install the openvpn plugin as explained earlier in this thread ?

Maybe I should try with the 'original' one ?

Here is my /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openvpn-service.conf

Code:

christophe@christophe-laptop:/etc/dbus-1/system.d$ cat nm-openvpn-service.conf 
<!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC

I have just purchased a T-mobile USB Stick III (The latest) I was having problems until I dowmloaded the network tools.

I now a t-mobile connection with Linux

Superb

My Windows to Linux transition is nearly complete.

Hi
Can you please let me know how I can revert back to old version of network manager?

Thanks
