Hi, I get this bug also (14.04):
Feb 9 09:13:48 titania NetworkManager[799]: <info> Starting VPN service
'pptp'...
Feb 9 09:13:48 titania NetworkManager[799]: <info> VPN service 'pptp'
started (org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp), PID 5573
Feb 9 09:13:48 titania NetworkManager[799]: <info> VPN service 'pptp'
appeared; activating connections
Feb 9 09:13:48 titania NetworkManager[799]: <error> [1423448028.441626]
[nm-vpn-connection.c:1374] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2:
(6) No agents were available for this request.
Feb 9 09:13:48 titania NetworkManager[799]: <info> Policy set 'leewifi'
(wlan0) as default for IPv4 routing and DNS.
Feb 9 09:13:53 titania NetworkManager[799]: <info> VPN service 'pptp'
disappeared
login/logout after booting works for a temp fix, but this is the only thing
that has worked. Deleting gconf or secrets did nothing.
If I trying with "nmcli con up id ConnectionName" I get an error about no
secrets.
Finally if I try the fix posted directly above by Weitian (i.e. editing
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ConnectionName to store vpn
secrets directly and setting password-flags=0), my vpn looks like it
attempts a connection as the wifi signal symbol alternates a padlock
overlayed, but finally it gives up and gives the helpful msg (if using
nmcli)
Error: Connection activation failed: unknown reason.
