It seems to be a bad interraction with gnome-keyring-daemon somehow... I found the following workaround :
1) stop NetworkManager and kill nm-applet 2) Launch seahorse. In the tab "Passwords" there should be an entry of the form: VPN password secret for CONNECTIONNAME/org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp/vpn where CONNECTIONNAME is the VPN connection which is failing. Delete this entry. restart networkmanager and nm-applet. 3) Edit the parameters of VPN CONNECTIONNAME but leave the password field blank. 4) Connect to VPN. A dialog box pops up and ask for the VPN password. Put it. The connection should work again (at least it works for me). -- last upload of nm breaks vpn connections https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/284901 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
