Error when adding a VPN connection, editing VPN connection is greyed out












0














In Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, when I start the connection editor via nm-connection-editor on the console and create a PPTP connection, I get the following error:



** Message: Cannot save connection due to error: Editor initializing...
** Message: Cannot save connection due to error: Invalid setting VPN: gateway


I can't edit the form because everything is greyed out. Any idea how I can solve this?
