Public bug reported: I can definitely confirm that Network Manager's OpenVPN is not working yet in Ubuntu 17.04.
I set up my configuration via import: http://neartalk.com/ss/2017-03-29_001_633x332.png On all earlier versions of Ubuntu, after importing the configuration, I'm able to connect to the VPN. However, in 17.04, connection attempt always give this error immediately: "The VPN Connection disconnected because the VPN Service has stopped" Clearly the VPN Service has NOT stopped. I confirmed this be taking the exact same import-file and imported it into an Ubuntu 16.04 computer and then the VPN connected without issue. Also, with this same import-file I had no issues in Ubuntu 16.10.
