[Bug 436899] [NEW] OpenVPN connection cannot be established

[Joseph Tate]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: network-manager-openvpn

I attempted to create an openvpn connection using nm-applet by importing
the arivpn.conf file attached.  I am able to start OpenVPN just fine
using sudo openvpn --config arivpn.conf, so I'm reasonably confident
that the setup is correct.

I originally had the problem described in #360818, but after I added the
at_console policy to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/nm-openvpn-service.conf, I was
able to get past the no secrets error.

Now however, I get the following error.

"The VPN Connection 'arivpn' failed because the VPN service stopped
unexpectedly"

Here are some interesting lines from my nm-applet terminal output:

** (nm-applet:9972): DEBUG: applet_common_device_state_changed

And some data from my daemon.log
