I just upgraded Ubuntu from 14.10 to 15.04 and when I boot I now get a question before the login screen that asks me for my private key password. I didn't quite now what this password was so I've tried several different ones and after entering any value it goes away and I can login. What is the program asking me for a password?
Workaround from the bug report. #5:
I use it as Client and have deactivated autostart AUTOSTART="none"
I start it manually, when i need the VPN. In prevuse version, the startscript asked for the password.

So disable the autostart option in the openvpn config file (/etc/default/openvpn) and it will ask for it when you start it manually.
Another method from comment #8
I ended up rebuilding from source with
--enable-systemd=no;that made it work again.
And you can also reboot into Grub and pick the "upstart" option so you revert back to the old method instead of using systemd.
