Found a manual fix for my specific case; it may be useful for others, so let's share it.
I'm running network-manager-gnome 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu4.3 and I was having the same issue while importing a connection from an .ovpn file (no message, no error, nothing at all). After I checked the file contents, I found a short message instructing to switch on a commented line for the tls-remote parameter if running openvpn 2.3+ (which Trusty Tahr does); once I did that (also disabling the original one), I was able to import the connection and the VPN was working correctly when I enabled it. Line for old OpenVPN version reads like: tls-remote "/C=xx/L=SOMETHING_HERE/O=COMPANY_NAME/CN=ANOTHER-VALUE-HERE/emailAddress=someb...@somewhere.com" Line for new OpenVPN (2.3+) reads like: tls-remote "C=xx, L=SOMETHING HERE, O=COMPANY NAME, CN=ANOTHER-VALUE-HERE, emailAddress=someb...@somewhere.com" Please note my .ovpn file didn't include embedded certificates or keys, they were provided as separate files from the very beginning. Hope it helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1294899 Title: Import saved VPN connection has been Recently Broken To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openvpn/+bug/1294899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
