Well, the bug changed faces (so to speak) in Karmic: after step 5 of the bug description, you can now see the connection, but clicking on it yields no visual feedback on the network manager system tray icon. I tried it a few times, and eventually got a popup notification saying that VPN connection "null" failed (with "missing vpn secrets") .
The workaround is still the same: rebooting - or I suppose restarting the networking services would work. After rebooting, I could connect properly to the VPN. ** Changed in: network-manager-pptp (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- [Hardy] network-manager-pptp requires system restart but will not tell you https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200304 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
