Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn
After upgrade to 9.10 my machine failed to connect to previously working
OpenVPN config.
The connection ends prematurely with following log:
Nov 5 19:28:12 NetworkManager: <info> Starting VPN service
'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.openvpn'...
Nov 5 19:28:12 NetworkManager: <info> VPN service

Nov 5 19:28:25 NetworkManager: <debug> [1257445705.001786] ensure_killed():
vpn service pid 3877 cleaned up
I noticed the "No VPN secrets" and googled around finding that the cause of it
can be secrets ring thing.
So, I took my private key and encrypted it to make network manager rise query
for password. It did and since that point I am able to use the connection.
