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.

  pptp simply doesn't work any more

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
