Ubuntu – Why will network manager not allow me save the VPN settings

network-manageropenvpnunity

I am trying to configure am OpenVPN client on my laptop. I am running Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit.

When I open network manager and import the VPN settings from the premade config folder everything takes. The problem is when I try to save the settings, the save button at the bottom of the network manager applet is greyed out. Further more when I hover over the button it says Authenticate to save this connection for all users of this machine. The problem is I did not check the box Available to all users it was already checked and it is also greyed out and won't let me manipulate it.

What is going on? Is this a bug or is there something I am missing?

Any help would be wonderful.

When creating a VPN connection you have to fill out all the required fields before 'save' becomes active. Ensure that you have them all filled out accurately.
