How do I connect to L2TP over IPsec using Network Manager?

This appears to be because you just installed the command-line side of NetworkManager's L2TP support.
In order to use the GUI to configure L2TP VPNs as well, you will need to install the network-manager-l2tp-gnome
package like so:
sudo apt install network-manager-l2tp-gnome
Following this, a restart of nm-applet
may be necessary to make NetworkManager see the change. In order to do this, just run the following:
killall nm-applet
nm-applet &
disown

I am trying to connect to a L2TP over IPsec VPN I installed
network-manager-l2tp
and this repository :ppa:nm-l2tp/network-manager-l2tp
and when I'm trying to add the connection from Network Connections I get this error:Could not load editor VPN plugin for 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.l2tp' (missing plugin file "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/NetworkManager/libnm-vpn-plugin-l2tp-editor.so").
How can I install the plugin?
