Title:

My DNS lookups were very very slow. I was using DHCP on one wired
interface, so Google search indicated that Settings, Network, Select
interface (wired ethernet), Edit, Select IPV4 tab, input additional DNS
Servers, Apply or Save would keep settings and cause DNS to be a bit
quicker.
However,
Hi, it seems I've got a solution.
All the people here including me wanted to establish vpn connection just using
login and password, without any certificates. I guess we were barking up the
wrong tree using openvpn.
The right thing to do is this:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-pptp
sudo
I have all the same as described in #28 with the exception that it's happen on
Lubuntu 13.10 and I don't have any certificate. I only have gateway IP,
username and password. Save... button is still grey!
Is there a step by step solution?

I can confirm that the plugin network-manager-openvpn does not
automagically import the certificates and thus rejects to save the
settings.
Instead, you need to pull at least the ca into a .crt file as described
in #33 and select it separately e.g. to use login / password
authentication.

Many users in this thread indicated that their VPN does not require
certificates. However it is possible that your VPN *does* require
certificates but that these are provided within your imported OpenVPN
(.ovpn) file. This was the case for me, however when I imported the
.ovpn file, these

I have the same problem when I am adding an OpenVPN connection with:
- Connection name
- Gateway
- Type: Password
- User name
- Password
- CA:None
The Save... button stays grey!
I use Ubuntu 12.04 and I installed network-manager-openvpn-gnome.
The question is: Does anyone know a workaround or
Same issue here. However I may have stumbled onto the solution. I was
getting the same diagnostic messages as Paul McCann, to wit:

Same issue and starting nm-connection-editor does not solve the problem.
Adding an OpenVPN connection with;

when I run nm-connection-editor I can see the terminal throw error
** (nm-connection-editor:7787): WARNING **: Invalid
The solution to this bug is to start:
nm-connection-editor
in the terminal. Terminal messages will tell you which entries the
connection considers invalid.
For example, when using certificates it is not possible to save the
connection without entering a password - if you want to be prompted for
After another try, I think that there is NO bug in nm-connection-editor,
neither in network-manager-openvpn, but an incorrect format in my ovpn file
coming from vpnbook.com.
I have tried with another site (not free) ipvanish.com and I can save the
connection.

In the active commands, during the creation of a VPN connection, I have seen
nm-connection-editor.
And with this command, I was unable to create a VPN connection (with the button
Saved in grey).
Actually, the Saved button is the enregistrer button, because I uses a french
version.

I have the same issue (Save button is grey) and I have no certificates
to install. My VPN requires me to type username/password to connect to a
Windows VPN setup.
Let me know if you want me to test something on this setup. I have
another (windows) laptop that connects perfectly fine to the VPN,
Please find attached a screenshot towards this. Clearly shows the
problem and the obvious bug as reported by hugo-koopmans at #16 above.
Again, let me know if you need me to try, or anyone wants to know
something from this test-system.
** Attachment added: Screenshot of the said issue
Just a note:
I thought I catch this bug, but in my case the save button was greyed out
because of an incorrect proxy address.
As soon as I used http://; as prefix the save button got active.
So maybe this is not an access rights issue but more an syntax check issue?

@drewp : Thanx for the tip, I'm really tired to guess what the hell it
wants (I'm using network-manager-openvpn-gnome). It insists in using
password with certificate, no other option.

I set the user to 'Always Ask' for password, yet I had to give a
(nonsensical) password for the p12 file, otherwise it wouldn't ungrey.
Upon connecting, it still asked me for both passwords.

A workaround on 12.10 is to run sudo nm-connection-editor instead of
using the normal NM menu. And, as you edit in the openvpn config dialog,
your terminal will now show validation errors (like 'Invalid setting
VPN: username').

what is strange is that in the lower left corner there is a tick box ticked
saying available for all users¨ and if I hover over the save button it says
authenticate to save for all users on this machine¨
looks like there is a deadlock in here... ?

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04. I am attmpting to create the first OpenVPN in
Network Manager. I installed Network Management framework(OpenVPN
plugin) and network amangement framework(OpenVPN plugin for Gnome GUI).
I click on the network manager icon (side by side UP and DOWN arrow)
then click on VPN
Pauls workaround did not work for me. I cannot save any OpenVPN
connection at all.

Sorry, I lost track of this. I don't have etckeeper on my system. Also
when I just tried it again the save didn't un-grey. I wonder if I just
don't have the correct SSL certificates for openvpn? I was able to get
the openconnect VPN to work, which I know doesn't require SSL
certificates.

I also had this issue when trying out the OpenVPN feature of NetworkManager -
to test if it would be a good alternative to using openvpn directly.
(I have re-installed the system to go from 32 to 64 bit, therefore I cannot try
to debug this anymore.)
In general, for people still affected by
So, I purged network-manager-openconnect and network-manager-openvpn and
then I re-installed network-manager-openconnect (only), and it worked!!
Then I tried re-installing network-manager-openvpn again, and
openconnect still works!
So now I have no idea what was going on. But my issue is
I'm unable to reproduce it here, I have a bunch of OpenVPN VPNs with a
mix of SSL authentication and password authentication, I just tried and
adding new ones works fine.
Can you give more details on exactly what configuration you're using,
what type of certificate, where they're located, ... ?
I know that for some other SSL related checks (wireless and wired
authentication), Network Manager greys out the Save button when it can't
load/parse the SSL certificates, so make sure that they are stored
somewhere where Network Manager can access them and that they are using
a supported SSL
I don't need to provide any certificates. In all the previous versions
of NetworkManager where I've used this (both Ubuntu and Red Hat), it
works like this for me (I'm doing this on a different Ubuntu 10.10
system; I'll verify steps on my 12.04 system when I get home):
right-click NetworkManager
I couldn't reproduce it, in Ubuntu precise:
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-openconnect
Go to the NetworkManager applet and Edit connections.., Go to the VPN
section and add a new connection, select openconnect as the protocol,
make click in Create.., and write anything in the gateway
Help?
