[Bug 1461301] Re: pptp simply doesn't work any more
Quick uodate, I down graded from the nVidia 331 drivers to 304 and to my
amazement PPTP started working again! So I guess this bug needs to be
filed against the nVidia drivers.

Bug description:
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
