open VPN error - fresh 16.04 install

[rich-looklively]

Hi,

On a fresh install of 16.04 kubuntu.

Error on importing openvpn conf into networkmanager;

"connection.gateway-ping-timeout: cannot set property: value of "6619252" of type 'guint' is invalid or out of range for property type 'gateway-ping-timeout' of type 'guint' "

Any confirmation, or ideas?

Thanks.

What's your gateway set to?

Have you checked this

It's set the same as it was before the fresh install.
And the same as it is on my other openvpn-is-working machine.

I just import the conf as supplied by my vpn supplier.

Thanks for your suggestion.

I observe the same issues with PPTP and OpenConnect VPNs. I created a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...r/+bug/1574826 .

Heres how I got round it...

I put the vpn conf files supplied by my provider into /etc/openvpn/ then when
rebooting it connects to the vpn servers, or when running "service
openvpn start" (as root).

Perhaps this helps someone?

I copy/pasted the content of /etc/NetworkManager from fedora 23(KDE) running on the same machine to the same folder of my kubuntu installation and it works very fine, I hope it helps
