NetworkManager issue at OpenVPN connection

Hi everyone
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question
I installed NetworkManager for using OpenVPN but when I click at VPN connection, it will immediately close
and this is the journal

JS ERROR: Gio.IOErrorEnum: Error writing to file descriptor: Broken pipe

Re: NetworkManager issue at OpenVPN connection

Hi Morika,

I have no idea why everyone ignored your post. I stumbled upon the same issue and your thread was the only thing relevant which came up.
I created this account specifically to respond to this post so if anyone else stumbles upon this, they can find the solution.

You need to install the optional dependency for networkmanager-openvpn called libnma.

If you try to connect using

nmcli

you will notice that it cannot find a shared library called

libnma.so

.

Have a good day!
