Some time ago I created a VPN connection using Ubuntus own Network Manager, which worked fine! Now, a few months later, I want to go in and edit the connections details, but instead I get this error: unable to load VPN connection editor.
Any idea how this could be solved?
[UPDATE]
Starting the connection manager manually with nm-connection-editor lets you edit the settings, but that still leaves the original error.
Check your settings with it.
VPN connection in Ubuntu
Go to network manager > VPN Connection > Configure VPN > Add VPN
Name VPN Connection ( Any Name )
Gateway : You ip address of pptp server Or FDDN ( Fully Qualified Domain Name )
User Name
Password
Click on Advanced
Click on " Use point to point encryption " Click OK & Save
Now open terminal
tail -f /var/log/syslog
And just connect to VPN & check your logs.
The solution is to remove the non-default lines in the network device configuration in /etc/network.
For example, if
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Appears in your /etc/network/interfaces then NetworkManager won't be able to manage the eth0 interface.
