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 'profile_name_here' when trying to create a new profile.
2) I deleted ~/.gconf/system/networking/vpn_connections/profile_name_here and tried to remake the profile via the gui, again using 'profile_name_here' as my profile name. Still no joy. 3) I figure what the hell, 'rm -rf .gconf .gconfd', still no joy. 4) Hrm, gconfd must be the settings for a daemon of some sort... instead of figuring out how to restart it, I'll just reboot. Finally, I'm able to make a pptp connection profile using 'profile_name_here' (and selecting the type this time around of course). I hope my post help some people, especially less experienced Linux users who are more liable to just give up. -- VPN Connection not added... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/89120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
