[Bug 1677198] [NEW] OpenVPN not Working in 17.04

[Lonnie Lee Best]

Public bug reported:

I can definitely confirm that Network Manager's OpenVPN is not working
yet in Ubuntu 17.04.

I set up my configuration via import:
http://neartalk.com/ss/2017-03-29_001_633x332.png

On all earlier versions of Ubuntu, after importing the configuration,
I'm able to connect to the VPN. However, in 17.04, connection attempt
always give this error immediately:

"The VPN Connection disconnected because the VPN Service has stopped"

Clearly the VPN Service has NOT stopped. I confirmed this be taking the
exact same import-file and imported it into an Ubuntu 16.04 computer and
then the VPN connected without issue. Also, with this same import-file I
had no issues in Ubuntu 16.10.
