Ubuntu 12.04 PPTP VPN Failed After Update

Wira_Soenaryo

Hello,

I have a desktop computer with Ubuntu 12.04 desktop installed.. I have successfully installed the pptp client on this computer and can connect to my VPS.

Today I just do an update because pretty long time not update this desktop. After doing the update, I no longer can connect to my PPTP VPS on my VPS. Having look on the syslog, there an error something related to network-manager. Does anyone can help me to fix this?

Thank you.

When you type pppd in terminal does it output a load of random characters or an error message? Sounds like ppp is not working.
