To work-around this issue and still use Network Manager instead of the OpenVPN CLI, follow these steps:
1. Locate an installation of an older version of Ubuntu prior to 14.04 (set up a VM if necessary)
2. Import your saved VPN connection on that system
3. Find the imported Network Manager configuration file in this directory:
/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections
4. Copy that file to the same directory on the 14.04 system. Make sure to set permissions to root:root 600, and edit the paths to your certs/key files to taste. You may need to log off or restart to get Network Manager to pick up the new config.
