Bug Description

On Ubuntu Gnome 14.10 (fresh install),

system preferences -> network -> [+] -> VPN

has only one choice here: "Import from file" but no PPTP connection.

The network-manager-pptp-gnome is well installed.
But no interface for creation.

Then, I cannot create any PPTP VPN connection.

Note : In 14.04, this feature worked fine.

I also experience the same problem under same conditions.

I already tried reinstall network-manager-pptp & network-manager-pptp-gnome without success

Hi again,

I found a workaround:

Open Gnome-Shell Activities menu and search for Network Connections

Click on the "Add" button and select VPN on the list...

You're now good to add your VPN settings... when saved, the VPN connection appear into the Gnome-Shell to right panel functions.

Regards,

Hello !

Ok, it works.

But why it is not in the usual path ?

Best regards
