Public bug reported:
Release: vivid (fresh install)
Packages:
network-manager 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu34
network-manager-pptp 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2
network-manager-pptp-gnome 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2
After installing network-manager-pptp-gnome, it is not possible to add a
PPTP VPN from the networkmanager GUI.
What I expected to happen:
Network -> Add Network Connection -> VPN -> Select PPTP and
configure with GUI
What happened:
Network -> Add Network Connection -> VPN
pptp is not listed as a possible VPN type. Cannot graphically configure VPN.
Possible cause:
Copying an existing VPN configuration to /etc/NetworkManager/system-
connections results in a VPN which does work. The option to add a new
one is possibly because of a missing file:
/etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-pptp-service.name includes:
[GNOME]
properties=/usr/lib/NetworkManager/libnm-pptp-properties
which does not exist after installing the above packages.
