Comment 16 for bug 1457078

Finally got it to work after hours of fiddling.
l2tp connection with psk and xauth, configured via conffiles.
Ubuntu 15.10, strongswan 5.1.2-0ubuntu6.2
Had to remove package xl2tpd (1.3.6+dfsg-3) - crashed with segfault every time while trying to connect.
Manually installed openl2tp_1.8-1_amd64.deb from:
ftp://ftp.openl2tp.org/releases/openl2tp-1.8/debian-squeeze/openl2tp_1.8-1_amd64.deb
Work much better than my last attempt on 14.04 (openswan+pluto+openl2tp)

I have to start the connection manually (will write a short script for it, but for now it's OK)
Will post my conffiles if someone will be interested in ;-)

But it will be great to have a network-manager plugin to manage such a connection.

Cheers
