In 17.10 my VPN was still working, "only" had to do a `killall nm-applet; nohup nm-applet &` to get the password prompt to show up. In bionic, at least that portion now works without work-around. However, I can't establish my VPN to my workplace at all. My VPN configuration in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Test seems rather basic: [connection] id=Test uuid=ae916f15-2e8d-46b0-92d3-c2dece212c40 type=vpn autoconnect=false permissions=user:thomas:; [vpn] domain=XXXXXX.XXX gateway=vpn.XXXXXX.XXX password-flags=2 refuse-chap=yes refuse-eap=yes refuse-pap=yes require-mppe=yes user=YYYYYYYYY service-type=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp [ipv4] dns=10.11.11.11; dns-search= method=auto never-default=true route1=10.11.0.0/16,10.11.31.31 [ipv6] addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy dns-search= method=ignore Here's the logs from syslog: Apr 22 10:29:18 thomas-bionic NetworkManager[507]: <info> [1524414558.0300] audit: op="connection-activate" uuid="ae916f15-2e8d-46b0-92d3-c2dece212c40" name="Test" pid=1141 uid=1000 result="success" Apr 22 10:29:18 thomas-bionic gnome-shell[781]: JS ERROR: TypeError: item is undefined#012setActiveConnections/<@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/status/network.js:1518:17#012setActiveConnections@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/status/network.js:1515:9#012wrapper@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/_legacy.js:82:22#012_syncVpnConnections@resource:///org/gnome/shell/ui/status/network.js:1853:9#012wrapper@resource:///org/gnome/gjs/modules/_legacy.js:82:22 Apr 22 10:29:18 thomas-bionic NetworkManager[507]: <info> [1524414558.0445] vpn-connection[0x555885252640,ae916f15-2e8d-46b0-92d3-c2dece212c40,"Test",0]: Started the VPN service, PID 2601 Apr 22 10:29:18 thomas-bionic NetworkManager[507]: <info> [1524414558.0631] vpn-connection[0x555885252640,ae916f15-2e8d-46b0-92d3-c2dece212c40,"Test",0]: Saw the service appear; activating connection Apr 22 10:29:21 thomas-bionic NetworkManager[507]: <info> [1524414561.2896] settings-connection[0x55588511f440,ae916f15-2e8d-46b0-92d3-c2dece212c40]: write: successfully updated (keyfile: update /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Test (ae916f15-2e8d-46b0-92d3-c2dece212c40,"Test")), connection was modified in the process Apr 22 10:29:21 thomas-bionic NetworkManager[507]: <info> [1524414561.3008] vpn-connection[0x555885252640,ae916f15-2e8d-46b0-92d3-c2dece212c40,"Test",0]: VPN connection: (ConnectInteractive) reply received Apr 22 10:29:21 thomas-bionic NetworkManager[507]: <info> [1524414561.3095] vpn-connection[0x555885252640,ae916f15-2e8d-46b0-92d3-c2dece212c40,"Test",0]: VPN plugin: state changed: starting (3) Apr 22 10:29:21 thomas-bionic pppd[2613]: Plugin /usr/lib/pppd/2.4.7/nm-pptp-pppd-plugin.so loaded.
