Public bug reported: Hi, it seems there's a bug with the Network Manager GUI where I can't import an .ovpn file. However, when I run `nmcli connection import type openvpn file Jacky.ovpn`, it is able to import the VPN connection successfully.
There is an existing VPN with the exact same content but different server IP address. I wonder if that is related to the issue? I have attached screenshot that shows the problem. 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Release: 20.04 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center network-manager-openvpn-gnome: Installed: 1.8.12-1 Candidate: 1.8.12-1 Version table: *** 1.8.12-1 500 500 http://sg.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What you expected to happen I can click on Add when importing the OpenVPN profile. 4) What happened instead The Add button is greyed out and I can't click it to import the OpenVPN profile. ** Affects: network-manager-openvpn (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: manager network openvpn ** Attachment added: "Network Manager GUI's Add button is greyed out" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1874606/+attachment/5358975/+files/Screenshot%20from%202020-04-24%2011-35-44.png ** Description changed: Hi, it seems there's a bug with the Network Manager GUI where I can't import an .ovpn file.
