Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Bionic Beaver compatibility about network-manager-sstp HOT 6 CLOSED

Could you sync your Ubuntu Bionic Beaver distribution with the PPA and try to re-install the packages again?

Cool, I'll see if I can get this one sorted out soon.

Thanks for reporting it.

The sstp-client might need modifications for bionic first.
Either use libssl1.0.0 and install libssl1.0-dev explicitly, or use my branch for libssl1.1. It also installs the plugin for ppp in /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.5 (Ubuntu comes with 2.4.7 since xenial, but 2.4.5 seems to be hardcoded, and the configure switch for it doesn't seem to work). Adding the full path to plugin in /etc/ppp/peers/ files or moving the plugin files worked. Also, the sstp-sock path was wrong (had to prepend /usr/local to /var/run/sstpc/sstpc-uds-sock), but this is all for another project :).

I've made the sstp-client work somehow, but was unable to integrate network-manager-sstp still.
What I've seen funny so far are the folders. I used --prefix=/usr and got:

• nm-sstp-service.conf installed in /usr/etc/dbus-1/system.d/;
• nm-sstp-auth-dialog and nm-sstp-service installed in /usr/libexec/, but the nm-sstp-service.name pointed to /usr/local/libexec/;
  After some fixes, nm-connection-editor says:

vpn: (sstp,/usr/lib/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-sstp-service.name) file "libnm-vpn-plugin-sstp.so" not found. Did you install the client package?

even though the file is there.
When I set the full path, I get:

Could not load editor VPN plugin for “org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.sstp” (missing plugin file "/usr/local/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-vpn-plugin-sstp-editor.so").

So, the prefix thingy doesn't work quite well.

Without the prefixes (both on sstp-client and network-manager-sstp), I had to move the nm-sstp-service.conf only and got the dialogs set up. But, the connection fails with

NetworkManager[13586]: /usr/sbin/pppd: /usr/local/lib/pppd/2.4.7/nm-sstp-pppd-plugin.so: undefined symbol: sstp_api_msg_new

Good job enaess!
In my case it installs without any issue now.
