Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-pptp
My ISP requires VPN connection to get to the Internet. Now with Hardy
8.04 Alpha 6 I have dowloaded and installed network-manager-pptp
0.6.5+svnhead2574-0ubuntu1 package which is not found on Desktop
Installation CD.
The package installs just fine, and Network Manager applet allowed me to
configure my VPN connection. There is no way to use that connection
however until system reboot.
Steps to reproduce.
1. Download networ-manager-pptp package
2. Install the package by double-clicking on it
3. Go to Network Manager applet to observe that there is VPN Connections ->
Configure VPN menu available
4. Configure VPN connection as usual
5. Go to Network Manager applet -> VPN Connections menu
Expected result: to see newly configured connection there
Actual result: only Configure VPN menu is available.
6. Go to NM Applet -> VPN Connections -> Configure VPN to verify whether
your new connection is there. It is.
6. Log out and log back in
7. Go through steps 5-6 and observe logging out did not help
8. Take it one step further and reboot the machine.
9. Go to step 5 and finally see your connection where it should be.
The point is, either new VPN connection should be available immediately
after configuring it, or network-manager-pptp should tell you restart
(which less preferred solution of course) immediately upon its
installation. Or better yet make it installed during initial system
setup. This way it will work as expected right out of the box!
