System: Slack 14.1 x86_64
I've signed up to a VPN service, but I'm having a lot of problems getting it to work! All the documentation refers to various certificates, but the only one provided is the ca.xxx.xxx.crt, which I have placed in /etc/openvpn/certs. The provider uses a username/password set up to provide everything else, and this is set up correctly via networkmanager. I have installed the extra OpenVPN stuff for networkmanager.
When I try and log on, it fails as follows:
Code:

"Exiting due to fatal error" is not really very helpful!
Does anybody have a clue as to what is going on, or why this doesn't work?
TIA,
