It appears to me that I can't hit the next button in the VPN dialog
with a connection name that already exists. This could be a problem in
the old version, so I've added a note to
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient.

Hi Craig! Sorry for the delay. I did some more experiments, and vpn
config works beautifully if I choose any other name than the one I was
using, which does not contain any spaces. I happen to have this same
connection configured through a different vpn tool (kvpnc), so I suspect
I encountered this bug also in Kubuntu 7.04. Here's my story...
1) I created a bad pptp connection profile because I didn't select the
type. If you do that, it actually creates a file for it in
~/.gconf/system/networking/vpn_connections/profile_name_here which then
won't allow you to reuse
Excellent work Christopher - thanks very much. I will ensure this is
documented wider. I should point out two important things:
1. You can edit gconf keys on the disk, as you say, but you shouldn't.
Use gconf-editor (GUI) or gconftool:
gconftool --all-dirs /system/networking/vpn_connections
Christopher's fix worked for me! After deleting the problem directory
and rebooting, I can now configure a connection with the desired name.
Perhaps the config wizard can detect this situation and report it
(instead of silently failing)? Or at least give some message when it
doesn't add the
What is the name of the connection you're creating? I'm led to believe
that a name with two or more spaces may not appear.

Possible to select nothing is gone, but whatever I configure still does not

Nevertheless this is an improvement and I appreciate your efforts. Can I

I'd like to confirm this bug. I've tried many times to configure a VPN

disappears when you return to the VPN Connections window.

I have a new package which defaults to actually having a type selected,

Hi Craig,
Unfortunately I think that's the version I tried yesterday, with no success.
I tried again today by explicitly removing network-manager-pptp with apt-get,
and then using dpkg -i to install your version, and the behavior is the same
as before.
Is there some debugging flag I can turn
To clarify, does this work if you add it with the GNOME network manager?
