Bug Description
I was using Ubuntu 22.04 with VPN with no issues. Now I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04.
When I'm trying to add a new VPN connection (OpenVPN with TLS certificates authentication), the "Add" button is "greyed out". There is absolutely no feedback on the UI which setting is wrong. (Actually there is one feedback, if gateway field is not filled, it turns red.) After endless experimenting, I'm still not able to figure out which setting is wrong. This is really not user-friendly.
What I was able to do as a workaround, is to manually create the yaml file in /etc/netplan folder, and now it's perfectly working. With the UI, I can't edit this connection as the "Apply" button is not clickable.
