Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

outdated debug symbol package for libnm-gtk0: package version 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu3 dbgsym version 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5.1
outdated debug symbol package for network-manager-gnome: package version 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu3 dbgsym version 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5.1

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!

Same error on import of .ovpn file. I have updated to current releases tonight and error persists.

Same error when importing my company's .ovpn saved config file. Before the import I dist-upgraded.
Why is this marked as invalid?

I changed the status from Invalid to New because this issue is not invalid. Forgive me if I overstepped boundaries, but less than a month away from the release, this issue will make the new version unusable for me (and I bet for a lot of people as well).

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Can confirm that importing an .ovpn which works on 13.10 just crashed my window.

The VPN can be set up using the manual process, entering the locations of the certificate files, etc. It is just the import process which is not working.

Even using the manual process instead of the import one, it's still a little messy for me. I can't select more than one certificate file. After I select the first one, the next one I select make the previous selection "disappear", so I have to select it again, but then the other one disappear, and so on... I still can't configure it.

Also affecting 14.04 gnome beta 2 both using nm-connection-editor and network-manager-applet, it just crashes as soon as the ovpn file is imported.

Manual configuration also doesn't work, it goes into loop when importing p12 file with error
(nm-connection-editor:8645): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_file_chooser_select_filename: assertion 'filename != NULL' failed

It renders essential functionality of the package (or a dependent one) broken.

I'm having the same issue. Importing a previously export .ovpn file crashes the applet. Manually recreating the configuration is impossible because when you selectie a .p12 file the gui becomes unresponsive.

Exactly the same behaviour. After selecting the first p12 file, the cpu load goes up to 100% for the nm process.

This bug affects me also. I have a clean 14.04 install. Five different OpenVPN profiles, all that worked in 13.10. The window crashes during import. We also run an OpenVPN Access Server -- like the commercial variety SSL VPN. This exports ovpn profiles with inline base64-encoded certs. nm-connection-editor chokes on this also.

same problem here on importing both openvpn configuration (.ovpn) and vpnc configuration (.pcf)

please note that both packages network-manager-openvpn and network-manager-vpnc was installed and those configurations was working fine with previous versions of ubutnu

After reading in a config.ovpn it crashes.
dmesg out:
nm-connection-e[9712]: segfault at a8fc50 ip 0000000000a8fc50 sp 00007fffd02726c8 error 15

Similar problem after trying to set up OpenVPN connection manually: after selecting .p12 key file as a 'User certificate:'. CPU load goes to 100% and NetworkManager responds poorly until the configuration window is closed. There is no way to save such a configuration.
Ubuntu 13.10:
network-manager 0.9.8.0-0ubuntu22
network-manager-gnome 0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5.1
network-manager-openvpn 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2
network-manager-openvpn-gnome 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2

Output from Valgrind before the crash

I'm also having this problem - anything I can do to help? Running Xubuntu 14.04.

Same issue here. I already reverted back to ubuntu 12.04 lts as I need openvpn for my work. Any fix available?

Having the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04. Creating the connection manually through nm-connection-editor works fine, but importing makes it crash.

Same problem on Ubuntu 14.04, importing configuration causes Network Manager Applet to crash.

When selecting my .p12 file from nm-connection-editor I get a lot of these errors:

** (nm-connection-editor:10357): WARNING **: Invalid setting VPN: remote
** (nm-connection-editor:10357): WARNING **: Invalid setting VPN: remote
** (nm-connection-editor:10357): WARNING **: Invalid setting VPN: remote

(nm-connection-editor:10357): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_file_chooser_select_filename: assertion 'filename != NULL' failed

Causing the 100% cpu usage.

Cannot add profile, too. Interestingly, I was able to add a profile on my other PC some time before, when using Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 beta version!
So the bug may have come into game between beta and todays Ubuntu GNOME !

I do get
kernel: [33342.541455] nm-connection-e[17696]: segfault at 125a700 ip 000000000125a700 sp 00007fffacbee168 error 15
and the corresponding crash after some second after having selected a .pcf file (cisco).

When I try to connect to a manually setup VPN, it gives it a try, but fails after some seconds:

Another "Fun Fact": The "working" version on my other PC cannot cope with saved passwords (would not connect - only when entering the password each time) - but I suppose that's another (Gnome Keyring feat. Heartbleed?) problem...
