I speculate.  It is as if one of the pppd options file has asked for
another options file to be opened, and pppd process is not running as
root, or for some other reason cannot read the /root/ directory in
order to open a .ppprc file.  The error is readily found in reports
from others.  Perhaps it has to do with the Network Manager plugin for
pppd.

However, I don't think it relates to your main problem, which is an
LCP timeout.  I still think the way forward is to find out why the LCP
timeout occurs.  A tunnel cannot complete connection if an LCP timeout
is reported.
