I am trying to get my vpn to connect. It just stopped yesterday and now it simply will not connect. The whole situation is being complicated by the fact that I can't simply restart the network service!
I'm trying to restart it with the net_applet and not only is it having no effect, but everytime I try to turn disconnect the network, the Net_appliet in the tray crashes and I have to restart it.
Beyond that, what was wrong with "service network restart"? Why did we have to go to "systemctl restart network.service" which doesn't work either?!
- Code: Select all
# systemctl restart network.service
Job for network.service failed. See 'systemctl status network.service' and 'journalctl -n' for details.
# systemctl status network.service

Why is this failing and what do I have to do to troubleshoot it? I really do not find this helpful:
- Code: Select all
# journalctl -n

How about you? Can you point me in a reasonable direction on this?
