Still no luck, but then it all started to work once I went into the wired connection IPv4 settings and set a default route in there manually (my connection was set to "Manual" and not DHCP). That still didn't do it, but then I turned off IPV6 in the Network Manager settings for the wired connection. Then change the line managed=false to managed=true What got this all going for me was when I set my wired ethernet to "managed" with this: sudo vi /etc/NetworkManager/nf After doing that, it seemed to work but would show no activity on trying to connect, etc. p12 I was previously using as the password in the OpenVPN thing in Network Manager wouldn't work anymore. Then after digging through other user's posts, I found that the VPN connections I had needed to be upgraded with the OpenSSL updates, which meant I had to pull out the cert,key & ca files from the. After fixing that with installing the nm-applet back to the panel, nothing seemed to work (other than the default NIC connection to my LAN). Seems that the upgrading doesn't work perfectly for Network Manager. I had the same issue after upgrading from Ubuntu MATE 16.04 to 18.04. Open the connection either from the GUI or using nmcli $ nmcli connection up config Restart network-manager $ sudo service network-manager restart (The file should be named config and id should also be config but they can be something else) $ sudo grep /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/config | grep "^id"Ĭhange rendered to NetworkManager and add the new connection id inside the ethernets $ sudo nano /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml Import config.ovpn from GUI (Settings -> Network -> VPN -> +)Ĭheck imported connection id from from the connection file that was created automatically. Network manager change managed=true $ sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/nf I had a long fight for this but this how I managed to find a workaround the issue in Ubuntu 18 using network-manager and GUI:ĭownload GUI packages $ sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome
