If anyone was wondering why the VPN (ADD) was grayed out, it because the required plugins are not installed.

I tried the command but I got the above error for all 3 packages - any ideas? Still no VPN usage.Code:Package network-manager-openvpn is not available, but is referred to by another package. E: Package 'network-manager-opnvpn' has no installation candidate.

Legend,
Try issuing 'apt-get update' first.

From the comments in the link s4nc0 provided, the full command is:
Code:apt-get update apt-get install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-pptp network-manager-pptp-gnome network-manager-vpnc network-manager-vpnc-gnome

I got it working. I was missing "sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome" You do have to update first in order for it to work.
