I am setting up OpenVpn that i usually use. I have installed as follows

1. network-manager
2. network-manager-gnome
3. network-manager-openvpn

also i have installed all of openvpn

1. OpenVPN 
2. OpenVPN LDAP authentication module
3. OpenVPN RADIUS authentication module
4. openvpn-auth-radius
5. OpenVPN with systemd-resolved

easy rsa is in there too

Yet when i try to set up thru network manager I get this error message as follows

Could not create connection
Could not load editor vpn plugins for "org.freedesktop-NetworkManager.openvpn" (missing plugin file "/urs/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/NetworkManager/libnm-vpn-plugin-openvpn-editor.so")

I can run my VPN thru a terminal command but is this supposed to be throwing the error? It does set up thru the network manager in kde5 so why not on this one?

Re: Setting up VPN?

You need to install 'network-manager-openvpn-gnome' package, from package manager or terminal:
$ sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome

Wow, U ever feel like a nut? I thought I had that installed but what i had installed was

network-manager gnome

but I failed to install 5 down. Tks. This may be a OS to work with for a while.
