This also affected me. When I attempt to connect to a VPN using the network connection icon in the system try, nothing would happen. (Literally nothing: no error message, no ui changes, no "attempting to connect" icon animation, etc.)

Log out then log back in. So far the file has not reappeared. ** Attachment added: "Problematic gconf file which was deleted." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-vpnc/+bug/1297849/+attachment/4159186/+files/%25gconf.xml -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297849 Title: VPN Connection fails after last upgrade on 14.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openconnect/+bug/1297849/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
