[SOLVED] cannot add OpenVPN connection with GNOME GUI

Dear arch users,

when I want to connect to an OpenVPN server in the GNOME Network Settings, the "Add" button is greyed out. I can connect with `sudo openvpn client.ovpn`, but only as root, not as a regular user. If anybody has an idea or a hint how to get this working via the GUI, I'd be grateful.

I know this is not important, as it is working via the command-line, I just would like to have the VPN indicator in the GNOME tray.

The `networkmanager-openvpn` package is installed and I'm on WiFi in case that matters.

Best regards

A bug report has been filed. You can as a workaround set a random file to CA private key, doing so activates the Add button and random file ignored during import.
