]]> Comment on Network Manager – Autostart VPN by Mahavir http://blog.mithis.net/archives/ideas/51-nm-autovpn/comment-page-1#comment-7284 Mahavir Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:16:11 +0000 http://blog.mithis.net/archives/ideas/51-nm-autovpn#comment-7284 For stock installation of Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) users, Network Manager version 0.8.0, so nmcli is not available and since there may be others like me who like to stick to the LTS, here is a solution. Visit http://cgit.freedesktop.org/NetworkManager/NetworkManager/tree/examples/python?h=NM_0_8 and download list-connections.py. Mark it as executable and run it to find the UUID of your VPN connection. Also, download vpn.py from the same link. This script is written to connect to VPN over wifi only. So, if you want to connect to VPN over your wireless network then simply execute the script. However, for wired a minor modification in vpn.py is required . Below is the patch for the same. *** vpn.py 2011-12-07 02:38:06.205855632 +0530 --- vpn1.py 2011-12-07 02:39:49.861855276 +0530 *************** *** 86,92 **** return None ! def get_wifi_device_path(): bus = dbus.SystemBus() proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager', '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager') iface = dbus.Interface(proxy, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.NetworkManager') --- 86,92 ---- return None ! def get_device_path(reqDevType): bus = dbus.SystemBus() proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager', '/org/freedesktop/NetworkManager') iface = dbus.Interface(proxy, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.NetworkManager') *************** *** 95,101 **** proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager', d) iface = dbus.Interface(proxy, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties') devtype = iface.Get('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device', 'DeviceType') ! if devtype == 2: return d return None --- 95,101 ---- proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager', d) iface = dbus.Interface(proxy, dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties') devtype = iface.Get('org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.Device', 'DeviceType') ! if devtype == reqDevType: return d return None *************** *** 135,143 **** print "couldn't find the connection" sys.exit(1) ! device_path = get_wifi_device_path() if not device_path: ! print "no wifi device found" sys.exit(1) # Is it already activated? --- 135,143 ---- print "couldn't find the connection" sys.exit(1) ! device_path = get_device_path(1) #Pass 2 for wifi if not device_path: ! print "no wired device found" sys.exit(1) # Is it already activated?
