Hello,
I am trying to connect to an OpenVPN service using NetworkManager, however I am having difficulty. I have installed the NetworkManager-OpenVPN Slackbuild package, and added the required group and user to do so. I am able to then import the .ovpn file provided by the service provider, and attempt to connect to it. When I try to connection, it asks for the password which I provide, then says, "Starting the service providing the VPN connection failed." and "The service providing the VPN connection was stopped."
I am running Slackware64 -current and KDE 4.14.38. Below is the tail of my /var/log/messages file.
