I'm glad to see that I am not the only one fighting this issue on Ubuntu 15.10. This is a real show stopper to this being brought into a production environment. I found the same as post from Tristan on 2015-12-11. I CAN run command line but it is a pain to enter my username/pwd every time I need to launch VPN. There is definitely a bug in how the network manager runs openvpn.
