networkmanager-openvpn doesn't appear to work. No connection is made, nor is any attempt made to connect. I marked it as major as this pretty much renders openvpn useless, though I do realize this is a low priority package. The error as described above appears to be caused by some invalid check for VPN Secrets (see Additional info). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new openvpn connection using nm-applet. 2. Open VPN connection. Actual Results: Doesn't connect. Openvpn is never run, though /usr/libexec/nm-openvpn-service is. Expected Results: openvpn is called and used to connect to server. will attach /var/log/messages snippet This bug is also described at "https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/453807" The proposed patch "http://launchpadlibrarian.net/36995728/dont-check-secrets-for-tls-connection-type.patch" seems to fix the problem for me but I'm still testing it out.

I can not confirm this bugs, networkmanager-openvpn-0.8.0 work for me including connecting. I imported the vpn connection from a setting file when I had version 0.7.2 installed, but it also works if I import it now. Do you have gnome USE flag enabled?

In fact it is a long time I have put NM away. It renders anything including openvpn useless.
(In reply to comment #5) > I wish to confirm. In fact it is a long time I have put NM away. It renders > anything including openvpn useless. I added the patch to networkmanager-openvpn-0.8-r2 (cj-overlay). Can you test if this fixes the issue?
After a while of testing, I added the patch as networkmanager-openvpn-0.8-r1 to the tree.
