Edit: Fixed it back then when the patch rolled out with add VPN config.
No longer use Linux/Ubuntu now.
I installed the OpenVPN Network-Manager by doing: sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn
, which also installs the gnome package.
This made it possible to import configurations under 13.10, but on my fresh installation, I can point to the .conf
files, but after clicking import, the manager just dissapears and no connection is added.
I tried manually setting it up, which kind of worked, but my connection keeps dropping after a while, I guess because I didn't manually set every last detail of the very detailed configuration.
Connecting through the terminal by doing: sudo openvpn --config /path/to/openvpn.conf
asked me for a username, then password, but then doesn't connect.
What can I do to fix this?
I really need my VPN, any help is deeply appreciated.
Edit: It's a bug/1294899
For the re-open queue: Someone has an extremely good work-around for this and he used an edit to put this in, but this is worthy of its own answer: voting to re-open...
