When I try to connect to a VPN PPTP connection from Network Manager it fails with this message:

vpn connection failed because the vpn service failed to start.

It worked without any problem till I installed KVPNC application. I think that this app is the reason.

  • Are you running gnome? Have you tried removing the kvpnc package and trying again?

As justingrif suggested did you try removing kvpnc and test?

Also try the below steps:

  • "Available to all user" uncheck this option.
  • Advanced settings -> Security and Compression -> check "Use Point-to-Point encryption(MPPE)" option.
