Install PPTP GUI in Ubuntu
You need to edit your source list file for this Open up a terminal and type the following command
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Add the following line save the file and exit
deb http://quozl.netrek.org/pptp/pptpconfig ./
Update the sourcelist
sudo apt-get update
Install pptpconfig
sudo sudo apt-get install pptpconfig
Restart gnmone panel
killall gnome-panel
If you want to open the application go to Applications--->Internet or you can use the command line to open GUI
gksudo pptpconfig
This must be a joke! How do you run apt-get BEFORE having a network connection over your ADSL modem???
but you can use the dvd repo hehehe…. it’s ubuntu man !
same problem, how to download this and the on dependeced packages without internet. I wrote this on my old windows comp which makes the connection to my provider possible, with a lot of effort changing between them, replugging the ethernet- and monitorcable. But the same shit in all the manuals!
I think you’re missing the quite large difference between a VPN connection and an INTERNET connection.
You’re never going to be able to use your VPN back to if you don’t have an internet connection anyway…
So firstly, setup your actual internet connection on the computer THEN you want to download the pptp files and install. VPN != Internet connection. PPTP != PPPoE
I have tried this in ubuntu 8.10, but it comes up with dependency problems, with gtk files and glade. How do I get these dependencies, in order for it to work? I have tried the pptp plugin for network manager, but it just isn’t getting me connected to my universities VPN. Thanks, Johan.
I had the same problem with Johan, I am stuck with this damn VPN thing. I cann’t connect with network manger^s pptp. How can I solve this?
Same problem as Johan and Ezgi.
pptpconfig wants php-gtk-pcntl.
php-gtk-pcntl: Depends: libglade0 but it is not installable
Depends: libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0) but it is not installable
Depends: libxml1 (>= 1:1.8.14-3) but it is not installable
me too.
It looks like nobody wants to fix this in Ubuntu. Networkmanager too doesn’t work properly.
It seems that libglade0 is now deprecated and replaced with libglade2-0 but php-gtk-pcntl still depends on it. This is just a Debian issue.

Doesn’t work in x64 versions: depends on php-pcntl (>= 4.3.7) and php-gtk-pcntl (>= 1.0.0), both are only i386 …
