Title: [bionic] Connection issues are not possible to debug in the UI Status in network-manager-openvpn package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When using a graphical VPN client, one expects a concise error message, and/or graphical log viewer (specific to the failed connection) to explain what went wrong. This does not happen when using the OpenVPN gnome plugin. Instead, I have observed two possible behaviors: (1) A few seconds after toggling the VPN to "on", (after some timeout) the VPN automatically toggles back off, leaving the user with no indication about what happened. (2) The VPN remains in "on" state but not connected. Instead, it reconnects repeatedly (per the auto-reconnect settings), but continues to fail repeatedly, without any indication to the user that anything went wrong (except for the fact that the VPN never actually connects). In either case, the only way to troubleshoot the issue is to do something like tail /var/log/syslog.
