Public bug reported:
I needed to connect to the company's PPTP VPN so I configured the
setting and set password to always ask. I tried 15.04, 14.10, 14.04 and
13.10 but the VPN network simply doesn't do anything. No logs are
created, selecting the VPN network from the connections sys tray drop
down does absolutely nothing and neither does switching the VPN
connection to ON in the main settings dialog. In the absence of any log
output I can't really add to this report.
Then I went right back to 12.04 and everything just worked. Selecting
the VPN network elicits an enter password box and the VPN connection is
established.
I can't believe that this is something that hasn't been spotted since
12.04 so it could easily be something I'm not doing right, but then the
same settings do work in 12.04.
Upgrading from 12.04 doesn't work either
