Public bug reported:
Hello,
I tried to setup a pptp VPN using NM and I'm unable to connect. After
having settings parameters, I activate the VPN in the GUI manager and
get in syslog:
Mar 9 11:50:47 localhost gnome-session[2163]: (nm-applet:2407): nm-
applet-WARNING **: nma_menu_vpn_item_clicked: no active connection or
device
I try to debug and get the policies error:
dh@deex:~$ /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-pptp-service --debug
** Message: nm-pptp-service (version 1.1.93) starting...
** Message: Error: failed to create NMPptpPlugin: Connection ":1.161" is not
allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp" due to
security policies in the configuration file
If I execute this command with sudo there is no error but VPN still
doesn't start.
The same setup with Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS is working well
