I've seen this manifest itself in two ways on my Xubuntu 12.04.1 installation after a boot, and login to XFCE.
The first is as described in this bug where the VPN connection isn't listed on the "VPN Connections" branch of the menu. The second is when clicking the network-manager icon in the notification area, the "Wired Network", "Wireless Networks", and "VPN Connections" are completely missing, leaving only "(checked) Enable Networking", "(unchecked) Enable Wireless", "Connection Information", and "Edit Connections..." Using workaround in comment #19, everything goes back to normal, menu appears as it should with all items visible. Command is: sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager restart -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113270 Title: Created PPTP connection does not appear in VPN connect menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-pptp/+bug/113270/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
