Comment 34 for bug 290468

I have updated the network-manager-pptp now. When trying to connect to the VPN that had the settings carried over from 8.04, I'm getting:

   "The VPN connection ' vpnname' failed to start. The VPN service was invalid."

On selecting 'Configure VPN' from nm-applet, only the IPv4 tab is shown for the VPN, there is no VPN tab on the dialog.

Should the existing VPN connection be working now, or do I need to create new connections?

/var/log/syslog contains
"Nov 21 10:59:30 leginx NetworkManager: <WARN> impl_manager_activate_connection(): Connection (2) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/1 failed to activate: (2) The VPN service was invalid. "

$ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}' network-manager-pptp
