I found a workaround and commited it to svn. So KVpnc (KDE4) now opens the profile manager again ;)

Which kde4 version and which qt4 you are using?
Can you compile with -DDEBUG=1 and give me the backtrace?

Trying to set up KVpnc using Openvpn. When attempting a connection to my OpenVPN server the attempt gets as far as receiving an IP address from the server but never finishes the connection. KVpnc status remains "Connecting". I have set debug to 20 and have noticed the following error:
debug: OpenvpnManagementHandler raw: >FATAL:script failed: external program fork failed
debug: OpenvpnManagementHandler: got other management message: >FATAL:script failed: external program fork failed
debug: OpenvpnManagementHandler: Disconnected to the OpenVPN manage port (2222)
I do get an IP address from the Openvpn server
debug: Tunnel device: tap0
debug: Tunnel interface IP:
debug: [openvpn raw]: Sat Sep 20 10:06:04 2008 /sbin/ifconfig tap0 10.1.4.10 netmask 255.255.0.0 mtu 1500 broadcast 10.1.255.255
debug: [openvpn] Sat Sep 20 10:06:04 2008 /sbin/ifconfig tap0 10.1.4.10 netmask 255.255.0.0 mtu 1500 broadcast 10.1.255.255
but that is as far as it goes. Status remains "Connecting" until I manually disconnect.
Anyone have any idea what I can do to correct this problem?
Thank you!

Is there a way to add a command line option to the vpnc call?
specifically I need:
--dpd-idle 0
or the config variable:
DPD idle timeout (our side) 0
Thanx!

I had kvpnc working on my old laptop using vpnc but I can't get it to work on my new laptop w/ fresh system install (F8).
I can't see anything significant that's different between the two systems.
I CAN connect with vpnc manually on the command line (w/ no conf file; I entered all parms at the prompts).
Does kvpnc have any tools for me to view what it's doing with vpnc when it tries to connect (i.e. command line, config parms, etc.) so I can troubleshoot this??
I'm running kvpnc version 0.9.0 and vpnc version 0.5.1.
Thanks,

I'm able to successfully establish a connection to my company's vpn but...
when the connection is established (on eth0) I don't get access to my DNS anymore. I tried both, "Keep default route , and "Replace default route" but i get the same result. and once I'm connected, I still seem not to be able to get access to the vpn IPs. With Windows it all works flawlessly.
Thanks for help! :)

This looks like a great app; unfortunately I keep running into dead ends.
I built from source on FC6 with no errors.
I have a working vpnclient install and profile.
When I try to import the pcf file kvpnc crashes (SIGSEGV); partial stack dump:
------
#6 0x0016d2d3 in strlen () from /lib/libc.so.6
#7 0x06b0de66 in QString::fromLocal8Bit ()
from /usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib/libqt-mt.so.3
#8 0x08067982 in CiscoPasswdDecoder::decodePasswords ()
#9 0x08082542 in ImportProfileDialog::canAccept ()
#10 0x08083c0a in ImportProfileDialog::accept ()
------
I also tried the profile wizard. I selected "Import PCF file" but it never prompts me to pick the file. When I hit "Finish" on the last page the status message in the log says "Creating new profile canceled".
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It seems to be a problem with special chars inside the pcf. can you mail it to me (use mail address shown in kvpnc about info)?

This is now fixed in svn. As hotfix you can select cisco (free) as type, and import. Later you can change the type in profile or preferences dialog.
