Comment 1 for bug 259168

I'm trying to connect to my university's VPN and keep getting the same libnotify error message with Intrepid (up-to-date packages): "The VPN connection 'Connection Name' failed because the VPN service stopped unexpectedly."

I don't see any relevant information in this syslog extract. Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
