funnily enough, the bug is actually fixed, all what is needed is actually network-manager-openvpn-gnome (I tested it on version 1.1.93-1ubuntu1.1 in 16.04.2) installed and then the network settings configuration gui restarted so the new VPN shows up as openvpn, after that importing the configuration from ovpn file works..

It exported a client.ovpn file but it fails to completely import this file using the network- manager (gnome) on Ubuntu 10.04. When I import the file, it gives me the name ("client") and gateway ("vpn.example.org") on the initial screen. No other fields are populated even though the client.ovpn file also includes a user certificate, server certifikate and a private key. When I go to advanced, some (most) of the settings obviously seem to import correct, others not at all. E.g. none of the TLS settings (key and key direction) are imported. From what I understand I should be able to use this without any additional settings. The following software is installed through aptitude: * openvpn (2.1.0) * openvpn-blacklist * network-manager-openvpn * network-manager-openvpn-gnome To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-openvpn/+bug/606365/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
