When attempting to enable a L2TP VPN connection via Network Manager if
the connection fails then an error message is popped up briefly saying
"Activation of network connection failed" but no diagnostics are made
available indicating what the problem might be, either immediately or
for example in the settings app.

Hi Mark,

The NetworkManager-l2tp README.md file has info on how to debug, see:
https://github.com/nm-l2tp/NetworkManager-l2tp

In particular, do the following:

  sudo journalctl --no-hostname _SYSTEMD_UNIT=NetworkManager.service + SYSLOG_IDENTIFIER=pppd  -e



 Cheers,
 Doug
