    openvpn-gnome problem after kali upgrade

    Hi. I have been using openvpn+gnome for quite a while with no problems, but after recent upgrade it doesn't work anymore.

    Openvpn itself is working fine. I can connect to VPN with:

    Code:
    $ sudo openvpn Arstotzka.ovpn
    ...so no problems with VPN provider.

    But, if I try to use gnome interface to connect to VPN it doesn't work, gnome just refuses to do anything. A few days ago before upgrade it was totally fine.

    /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/ is populated with configurations, as /etc/openvpn/ with certificates.

    Code:
    $ uname -a
    Linux kali 4.14.0-kali3-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.14.13-1kali1 (2018-01-25) x86_64 GNU/Linux
    So any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Well, I'm not sure what happened but today it's working fine. Maybe because I've just reinstalled openvpn yesterday or maybe because of last kali upgrade.

    I'm not sure what I've done, but at the end I just reinstalled everything.

    You also can try to remove old connections from network-manager, just be sure not to delete important connections:
    Code:
    # rm -rf /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/*
    Purge old openvpn config:
    Code:
    # rm -rf /etc/openvpn
    Delete and reinstall all packages:
    Code:
    # apt-get purge network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome openvpn
    # apt-get install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome openvpn
    # service network-manager restart
    and try again to install your openvpn config from VPN provider.
