[Bug 1294899] Re: Import saved VPN connection has been Recently Broken

[Erik Ackermann]

#25 workaround, while necessary was not sufficient for me.

Another problem I have (maybe others too?) is clicking the
NetworkManager icon shows that eth0 "device is not managed". The default
Ethernet>Wired Connection 1 present on 13.10 and before is missing.
Trying to add it back in didn't work either, but finally setting
"managed=true" in /etc/NetworkManger/NetworkManager.conf and `service
restart network-manager` got it working to start already configured VPN
profiles.

As for getting around the other bug of getting the vpn profiles
configured, you can follow post #25, or just configure them by hand, or
do what I did and revert network-manager to its ubuntu 13.10 version.
You will have to download each deb from launchpad/ubuntu package site,
or you could add the saucy repo and force install the correct versions.

dpgk -i --force-downgrade libnm-gtk0_0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb network-
manager_0.9.8.0-0ubuntu22_amd64.deb network-manager-
openvpn_0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb modemmanager_0.6.0.0.really-
0ubuntu7_amd64.deb network-manager-gnome_0.9.8.0-1ubuntu5_amd64.deb
network-manager-openvpn-gnome_0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb

service restart network-manager

And don't forget to lock these package versions in synaptic or they will
update/break on your next upgrade.
