[Bug 259168] Re: Network Manager unable to connect to PPTP VPN (bad NT-Domain escaping)

[William Loucks]

For those of you who can answer "yes" to all five of the following
questions:

* Are you still using Intrepid?
* Do you neither use nor require the new features of NetworkManager 0.7 such as "Mobile Broadband" and "DSL"?
* Do you want to stay with Intrepid?
* Do you want to revert Intrepid's network-manager-pptp to be as it was in Hardy?
* Are you willing to take risks and not blame me if something goes wrong?

I've created "new" versions of the five related packages with version
numbers such that they are "newer" than 0.7, but are actually the same
packages and versions which were in Hardy. These are only for the i386
architecture. I've tested them as well as I can and would like
volunteers for additional testing. I did not sign these packages, so you
will have to understand what that means. To become a volunteer tester,
do these steps:

1. Add the following to Software Sources:
deb http://www2.nau.edu/wal2/NetworkManager/ ./

2. Use update-manager or synaptic to check the software channels for new
updates or reload the package information.

3. For your information, the "new" versions of the five packages are:
libnm-glib0            0.7+0.6.6
libnm-util0            0.7+0.6.6
network-manager        0.7+0.6.6
network-manager-gnome  0.7+0.6.6
network-manager-pptp   0.7+0.6.5

4. Install all five of the packages shown in #3 above, after verifying
that the "new" version is as listed in #3 above.

5. Reboot, just be safe

6. If you previously used network-manager-pptp under Hardy, it should
look exactly like it did in Hardy. If you had not previously used
network-manager-pptp under Hardy, take a look at the configuration
dialogs.

7. Set up your favorite pptp connection and test it.
