Troubleshoot vpn and pptp problems in ubuntu and mint
From ETCwiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchI have recently fought Ubuntu and Linux Mint to connect to my vpn through the gui (gnome network manager or something). I do not have the solution you need but i can show you where to find it:
tail -f /var/log/syslog
Explanation: This command shows you the last tailing lines of the system log that will include your VPN error message
Works with: Ubuntu, Linux Mint >= 15, and maybe debian but I havent tried it.
