Hi, I concur with Obelix: the problem is not specific to Ubuntu (nor Debian). Obviously an upstream fix should be sought. In case it helps getting the status updated to "Confirmed", here is a summary:
Package: network-manager-openvpn-kde, version 0.9~svn1112085-0ubuntu4 Summary: Passphrase for the openvpn key cannot be entered. There is no field for it on the setup panel, and the user is not prompted for it when trying to connect. Steps to reproduce: 1. Configure an openvpn connection via network-manager > Manage connections... > VPN > Add... Make sure to use a passphrase protected key (otherwise everything works fine). 2. When online, try to activate the tunnel by clicking on its icon in the kde-network-manager menu. 3. The interface will report 'Activating...', and the connection attempt will then fail silently.
