Title:
gnome-flashback pptp vpn does not connect
Status in network-manager-applet package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After some trial and error I have found that 3.14.0-3ubuntu8 and
subsequent versions of gnome-flashback has introduced an error where
connections to a PPTP vpn fail with the following error:
NetworkManager[5971]: <error> [1428023479.735160] [vpn-manager/nm-vpn-
connection.c:1778] get_secrets_cb(): Failed to request VPN secrets #2:
(6) No agents were available for this request.
Downgrading to 3.14.0-3ubuntu7 resolves the issue.
I have reproduced this error by installing vivid into a virtualbox VM,
and configuring a pptp vpn connection. It works if you use the
default unity session, or the gnome one. Downgrading to gnome-
flashback 3.14.0-3ubuntu7 resolves the issue.
I'm not going to bother attaching any further information unless
asked, as I have narrowed it down to the specific update which has
caused the regression and reproduced it on a fresh install.
