Public bug reported:
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.
After copying those files next to the config file, the connection
succeeded. However, again, without any feedback, except for the changing
icon in the systray.
My minimal expectation would be to see an error message when the
connection fails for whatever reason.
I have further issues with network manager or the openvpn plugin:
- I don't like that the menu disappears right away, this does not provide
sufficient feedback to the user on the success of his operation.
- I don't like that the network manager does not automatically suggest to
install the openvpn plugin when trying to import openvpn config files.
