Ah, http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/NetworkManager/Dispatcher has been updated to address the issue: since 11.10, NM saves the password to the user key ring. To make the script work, edit /etc/NetworkManager/system- connections/<VPN-connection> to read something along the lines of
""" [vpn] ... password-flags=0 ... [vpn-secrets] password=<pw> """ This should be documented somewhere in the manpages :/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/906290 Title: PPTP: Connecting from GUI works, but not automatically from command- line dispatcher script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-pptp/+bug/906290/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
