[Bug 343270] [NEW] PPTP VPN connection fails on Jaunty alpha 6

[kdawgud]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp

PPTP VPN connections fail always for me.  I confirmed using wireshark
that there's not even any traffic to the PPTP gateway.

I am testing on Jaunty Alpha 6 (32-bit)

uname -a
Linux kleber 2.6.28-9-generic #31-Ubuntu SMP Wed Mar 11 15:43:58 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

Steps to reproduce:  Add PPTP VPN connection using gnome Network
Manager.  I have not found a combination of PPTP settings that did not
cause this error to occur.


Sometimes, the OSD displays something about missing 'secrets'.  Every time I try to click on my VPN connection, I get the following error in /var/log/syslog:
