Description Eric Hameleers 2017-02-28 16:58:38 UTC
When using the Plasma 5 connection editor to import an existing openvpn connection, I get consistent crash after selecting the .ovpn file and clicking "OK". Even with gdb I do not get a useful backtrace but when using gdb I noticed that the crash occurs when the "copying certificate" window is drawn. I get the window borders but not the window content.

In the same Plasma 5 desktop session I can however start the GTK-based nm-applet and successfully import that same .ovpn definition file. The resulting OpenVPN entry is also visible in the Plasma 5 widget and can successfully be used. 

System: Slackware-current 64bit (post-14.2) with Plasma 5.9.2, KF 5.31.0 and Qt 5.7.1. Using NetworkManager 1.6.0 and NetworkManager-openvpn 1.2.8.
The OpenVPN .ovpn file I tried to import is any one from https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/openvpn/openvpn.zip

I cannot reproduce the crash and without a backtrace I won't be able to do anything about it unfortunately.

IN my original post I already mentioned "Even with gdb I do not get a useful backtrace".

I believe this is no longer a problem. Please re-open if you still can reproduce this issue.
