I have same error message on ubuntu touch if I tried connect to VPN server with OPENVPN or PPTP.
The error message if I type "sudo nmcli con up THENAME": Password is required but not given in 'passwd-file' (I don't no while) and nmcli cannot ask without --ask option So that's worked for me on ubuntu touch: sudo nmcli --ask con up "VPNCONNECTIONNAME" But VPN worked without terminal before OTA-14. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-pptp in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508740 Title: PPTP VPN "no valid VPN secrets" Status in network-manager-pptp package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp When trying to connect I immediately get a notification stating: "The VPN connection '<name>' failed. because there were no valid VPN secrets."
