[Bug 1452941] Re: PPTP VPN fails to connect in 15.04, but works in 14.04/14.10

 

Scratch that, loading the modules allows it to work with a *single* IPv4
route, but I get the same error if I try to connect with multiple roots.
My NetworkManager output to syslog is attached.

Title:
  PPTP VPN fails to connect in 15.04, but works in 14.04/14.10

Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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."
