[Solved] Cannot import .ovpn file :\

I know it is not the file because I imported it successfully on other workstations. I am not sure where to look in logs to figure out the error, it just says, "Unknown error." Would like to import the file so the workstation can be more secure when browsing. Any thoughts as to what I should do?

Import into what? Your post is lacking in details.

NetworkManager service?

You tell us, we can't tell you what you are doing

Have you installed networkmanager-openvpn ?

Oh! That was it, I had networkmanager installed. I though the openvpn just came with the package. Usually I would be able to give more logs but the error message gave me no clue. Sorry for wasting everyones time.

And you gave us no clue even about what gave the error message!

You will have to separate the certificates from the configuration, then you can "import" it with networkmanager. If I recall correctly I think that last time I tried using openvpn directly it also didn't like to have everything in the same file, but last time I tried it was a long time ago.

Edit:
Sniped by everyone else Cool that it worked.
