Hi all; I'm trying to create a VPN connection but each time I try to connect, I'm told the service failed to start and I'm at a loss as to why. I've signed up with a couple of services and activated the accounts, and logged in through the web page, so that end should be working okay. I followed some instructions online; http://ubuntu-chronicles.blogspot.com/2009/07/jaunty-vpn-itshiddencom.html and installed all the software it suggests. I also tried installing all the network-manager vpn plugins I could find in Synaptic but this has not helped either.
Can anybody tell me what's wrong? My /var/log/syslog shows; Nov 25 17:27:16 kwyse-media NetworkManager: <info> Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp'... Nov 25 17:27:16 kwyse-media NetworkManager: <info> VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp' started (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp), PID 2227 Nov 25 17:27:16 kwyse-media NetworkManager: <info> VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp' just appeared, activating connections Nov 25 17:27:16 kwyse-media NetworkManager: <info> VPN plugin state changed: 3 Nov 25 17:27:16 kwyse-media NetworkManager: <info> VPN connection 'ItsHidden' (Connect) reply received.
