[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1722118] Re: No feedback on failed OpenVPN connection
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users. ** Changed in: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722118 Title: No feedback on failed OpenVPN connection Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I imported an OpenVPN configuration file. This worked fine. However, when I tried to connect to my OpenVPN server, the connection didn't work. This wasn't obvious though, since the network manager menu disappears right after clicking "Connect". Indeed, the connection couldn't possibly work, since I didn't copy the CA and the TA files.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1722118] Re: No feedback on failed OpenVPN connection
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance. ** Changed in: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager-openvpn in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1722118 Title: No feedback on failed OpenVPN connection Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I imported an OpenVPN configuration file.
