I have found that there is a partial migration of settings in gconf under system/networking, observed using gconf-editor
A new folder "connections" has been created and sequentially numbered folders below this. Each folder contains partial details for my VPNs In order for nm-applet to "see" these migrated VPNs, I did the following from gconf-editor (to be done for each numbered key under "connections"): /system/networking/connections/1/vpn: service-type = org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp # corrected from .ppp-starter /system/networking/connections/1/ipv4: method = auto # added new string attr I can now edit the VPNs using nm-applet. None of the settings from the orginal gconf /system/networking/vpn_connections/{name}/vpn_data key have been migrated to the new setup. -- After upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10, all VPN connections disapeared https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/277432 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
