There is no network-manager-l2tp or network-manager-l2tp-gnome package in Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon, am I missing anything? Because of the missing package, I cannot set up L2TP/IPsec VPN. Can someone help me?.
Thanks

You would need to add a PPA to your sources in order to install the missing packages. Copy-paste the following command one at the time in a terminal:
Reboot.
(see: https://github.com/nm-l2tp/network-mana ... ges#ubuntu)
Code: Select all
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nm-l2tp/network-manager-l2tp
Code: Select all
apt-get update
Code: Select all
apt-get install network-manager-l2tp network-manager-l2tp-gnome
Reboot.

Thank you very much. I was wondering why Linux Mint does not include those packages in its official repository.Marziano wrote: ⤴Tue Mar 20, 2018 3:11 am You would need to add a PPA to your sources in order to install the missing packages.

Good question, but unfortunately, I am not in a position to answer that. Maybe a new topic for a new threadPenguin101 wrote: ⤴Tue Mar 20, 2018 10:21 am I was wondering why Linux Mint does not include those packages in its official repository.
Anyway, I hope you get your VPN set-up going smoothly.
Good Luck!
Re: Linux Mint 18.3 does not have network-manager-l2tp package
Although the PPA repository has contained instructions for the last 9 months on how to vote to have network-manager-l2tp added to an official backport repository (which is seen when the repository is added via the command-line and also visible on the PPA website), only 10 users have voted for the launchpad backport bug report, so it is unlikely to be added any time soon. I think Mint 18 has the Ubuntu 16.04 backports repository as a standard repository, but could be wrong.I was wondering why Linux Mint does not include those packages in its official repository.
I submitted network-manager-l2tp package to Debian last year and consequently was automatically imported to Ubuntu 17.10 and Mint 19 (and later)
