This also affects me, and I don't see any easy workaround. Trusty used upstream 2.3.2, but turned off "enable-systemd"; Utopic turns it on, and that makes openvpn execute systemd-ask-password, but with stdin set to /dev/null, whcih makes it pretty hard to interact with.
It seems to me that openvpn auth-user-pass mode is broken on Utopic with no easy workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1374782 Title: OpenVPN interactively asks for a password in an init script To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1374782/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
