Vyos 1.5 nighty build - accel-ppp doesn't work, no error log

General questions

Hi there

I’m trying to use recent vyos 1.5 to upgrade year old 1.4 based firewalls
Everything looks fine during automated upgrade but l2tp remote access doesn’t started due to undefined error in accel-ppp service.

Is this bug or feature.
where should I search for problem root?

Thnks

Could you share your config ?

show conf com | match l2tp

Sure, please find below

set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication mode 'radius'
set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication mppe 'deny'
set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius server 10.1.0.xx key ''
set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius server 10.1.0.xx port '1812'
set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication radius source-address '10.1.0.yy'
set vpn l2tp remote-access authentication require 'mschap-v2'
set vpn l2tp remote-access ccp-disable
set vpn l2tp remote-access client-ip-pool def range '10.1.0.tt-10.1.0.pp'
set vpn l2tp remote-access default-pool 'def'
set vpn l2tp remote-access name-server '10.1.0.xx'
set vpn l2tp remote-access outside-address 'external ip'

After initial failed configuration conversion all l2tp comands were entered manually.

it’s great to know. Thanks
I just simply need latest nighty build, right? Tomorrow?
Because I’ve used recent today.

Yes. This fix was merged 18 minutes ago. It will be in the next nighty build or you can build and install a package yourself. Build VyOS — VyOS 1.5.x (circinus) documentation

thanks, I could wait for a while.

Caught the updated version just after 3 hours after publication.
Test shows good result - accel and l2tp VPN + RADIUS works fine.

Thanks
