Public bug reported:
The network manager of Kubuntu 9.04 was terrible buggee regarding vpn
setup and also misses pptp support (on Ubuntu 9.04, the vpn pptp
mschapv2 works). I'm happy to see pptp with mschapv2 in Kubuntu 9.10
(the dialog looks a little like the one of Ubuntu 9.04), but i failed to
make work. I'd installed Kubuntu 9.10 beta about 2 weeks ago and today
I'd applied all provided updates.
I see my entry when I click the network symbol in the systray, but I
don't know what I have to do to establish this vpn connection. I'm
unshure if this was a bug or a foolish of mine.
Clicking my entry in the systray's network popup does nothing. Even when
I configure the connection to "Connect automatically" there is nothing
to see (not in systray and also not by ifconfig).
When hovering (the mouse) over the eth0 entry in the systray's network popup,
there comes a tooltip displaying my MAC, IP, Bitrate, et cetera, but when
hovering over my VPN entry there comes nothing.
(BTW: Is it possible to add screenshots here?)
Further, I miss the possibility to tell the system, that the VPN connection
should only be used only for some remote IP adresses (IPv4 with Mask).
On my current working machine (Kubuntu 9.04), I set this manually using the
'route' command. But this route was always removed automatically each time I
close the VPN connection.
Thanks for helping,
Joe.
