[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#924596: network-manager-openvpn: GUI cannot import openvpn from config-file

[Jürgen Bausa]

Package: network-manager-openvpn
Version: 1.2.8-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I use NM with the kde applet. I tried to import an openvpn config file from the gui, but the connection
does not work. the config   file seems to be valid:

 - I can run it directly from the command line -> vpn connection works
 - after importing it from the command line to NM (as root), the connection works (connection started 
   by user through kde-NM applet)

So I think there must be something wrong with the import process from the gui applet. Maybe information
needs to be stored as root?

I am unsure if this unsure if this is a bug in NM or NM-openvpn.

I am using the stretch-backport of NM 1.14.4-2~bpo9+1 (for other reasons) but NM-openvpn from stretch. I also tried the
stretch-backport of NM-openvpn 1.2.8-2 but with the same result.

Regards,

Jürgen
