@BUGabundo The problem you are seeing (in my opinion) is a problem with NetworkManager trying to get the password from the keyring. In this post someone mentions that clearing tha password gets you passed this "secrets" issue. http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5979168&postcount=14
However, if you read on in the thread there are still other issues...in particular someone opened a new bug about the CHAP format: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-pptp/+bug/283376 -- Network Manager unable to connect to PPTP VPN https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259168 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
