Public bug reported:

I can create a PPTP VPN connection and connect to a remote network in
Ubuntu 14.04/14.10 (Unity live boot DVD) but the connection does not
work in Ubuntu 15.04 (Unity live boot USB), even though I am using the
exact same GUI configuration settings in the Network-Manager (I have
confirmed this several times).  In addition to the live boot instances,
the PPTP VPN connected without problems for me on my 14.04/14.10
installs, but failed on a fresh harddisk install of Ubuntu MATE 15.04.

The error that I get in a notification pop-up window when trying to
connect on 15.04 is: "The VPN connection 'VPN connection 1' failed
because the VPN service returned invalid configuration."
