[Bug 346768] Re: network-manager-pptp loses MPPE settings
For me, the network manager still seems to forget the mppe setting from time to time. It works several times but then it more or less randomly decides to reset the "Use MPPE"-checkbox. Maybe it has to do with reconnecting to the wireless network or with the auto-connect setting.

@SmartKenny, Truly sorry about that issue -- you'll want to install network-manager- pptp-gnome in addition to network-manager-pptp if you're using the PPA now, it has been split so that people using KDE don't have to pull in tons of GNOME dependencies they don't need. Once installed, it should work fine, please post here if it doesn't. Also, once it works, you should disable the NetworkManager trunk PPA, since there may always be new updates that break things -- it's a daily build, so there is always some risk. I really should have mentioned this from the start. @sayantandas, please open a separate bug for this, and describe the settings you use for your VPN in details, I'm not sure if it's the same thing yet, but if it is we can mark it as a duplicate of this bug later. @idlehands, are you on Lucid or do you use Karmic with the trunk PPA? -- network-manager-pptp loses MPPE settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Actually, for me, the newest updates from PPA fixes the problem. It works great for me. Note that when you click "Use MPPE", it automatically disabled options except MSCHAP and MSCHAPv2. But you have select Security as "All available", otherwise, if you choose "128 bits" or "64 bits", it will be lost after saved. -- network-manager-pptp loses MPPE settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346768 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
