Public bug reported:
I've just started testing Natty with Unity, as an upgrade from Kubuntu
10.10.
I've just configured my PPTP-based VPN, and it won't connect. I get a
notification bubble that states:
The VPN connection 'name' failed to start.
Connection was not provided by any settings service
Normally, when connecting to a VPN, I get lots of output in
/var/log/daemon.log, but it is not modified when connecting now. I'm
using NM through the Unity indicator menu. I've tried running apt-get
purge on network-manager-pptp and reinstalling it with no luck.
lsb_release -rd gives
