Bug Description
Ubuntu Intrepid. I installed openvpn and network-
network-
openvpn 2.1~rc11-1ubuntu2
I can create a VPN tunnel 'by hand' using appropriate config files and running 'openvpn' on the command line. However, I'm trying to make this work via the Network Manager applet.
When I attempt to configure a VPN, any values I insert in the "Local IP Address" field are never saved (i.e. when I go back to edit the config, the value I put there previously has disappeared). This does not affect the other settings in the config. I note that one is only presented with a "Local IP address" field when using a Static Key configuration.
This means that I cannot make OpenVPN work via Network Manager. I cannot determine whether the problem is that the IP address I give is being ignored and simply not saved, or whether it is considered invalid for some reason.
Same problem. This is my log, if it can help. thanks
