Initially I figured it was locked because the network manager wasn't installed by default but after

sudo apt-get install openvpn network-manager-openvpn

I'm still unable to unlock it.

Any thoughts?

It's irony that Trisquel-mini already has those packages.

Not sure if you figured this out, but in case you didn't, I was having the same problem until I added network-manager-openvpn-gnome:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome

I got the idea from Riseup:

Maybe that'll work for you too.

I found out I needed to reinstall some packages to get the gui applet working.

Some lines might not be needed, but try:

sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome

sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager network-manager-gnome network-manager-openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome

sudo service network-manager restart

killall nm-applet

I already installed the first command, so I gave it a try to the second and IT WORKED! :D sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn-gnome
