Just downloaded the latest version but the Browser update tool for chrome is missing libbfd-2.26.20160125.so from binutils downloaded binutils-2.26-x86_64-3.txz from https://slackware.pkgs.org using :
"#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --user-data-dir=/root/chrome/user --disk-cache-dir="/root/chrome/cache" --disk-cache-size=10000000 --media-cache-size=10000000 --no-sandbox --disable-infobars "$@" "

ralcocer, probably I am something missing, but why you don't activate 05-devel.xzm?

Code: Select all

# find /tmp/05-devel/usr/lib64 -name *libbfd*
/tmp/05-devel/usr/lib64/libbfd.so
/tmp/05-devel/usr/lib64/libbfd.a

Do you use this base module 07-printing-x86_64-2019-11-12.xzm plus addition printing module for your DE (I mean Important information! Please look at this spoiler:)?
How about http://localhost:631/admin ?
What model of your printer?

Thanks.

amplatfus, a) do you install OpenVPN and synced your time?

Code: Select all

su
toor
getpkg openvpn
# don't forget to activate openvpn xzm module
cp /etc/localtime{,.bak} && rm /etc/localtime && ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Bucharest /etc/localtime && ntpdate pool.ntp.org && hwclock -lw
# Run daemon of OpenVPN
chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn
/etc/rc.d/rc.openvpn start
b) when this error is happen can you show output of:

Code: Select all

su
toor
# where client.ovpn is your client configuration file
openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn
tail -f /var/log/syslog
?

c) Do you have in your client configuration file /etc/openvpn/client.ovpn these options

Code: Select all

status /var/log/openvpn-status.log
log /var/log/openvpn.log
verb 9
mute 50
? d) If yes, what in /var/log/openvpn-status.log and /var/log/openvpn.log?

Thank you for detailed steps.
I did one by one, and I activated downloaded module and after I tried. I tried also from VPN Connection menu near clock applet. Same error.
It seems something related to user group. Extracted from below log: Group “nm-openvpn” not found, check NM_OPENVPN_GROUP.

Thank you for helping me and If is possible, I would like some advice here too.

amplatfus, well, seems openvpn-2.4.8-x86_64-1.txz does not need (only for server)
You will need an "nm-openvpn" user and group to use this. Suggested:

Code: Select all

su
toor
groupadd -g 320 nm-openvpn
useradd -u 320 -g nm-openvpn -d /var/lib/openvpn/chroot -s /bin/false nm-openvpn

Happy New Year :beer:
I apologize for the intervention
For me OpenVPN is working fine from terminal:

- Generate keys and certificates (I think Iou have them)
- Modify client.conf (or any other name) in /etc/openvpn

example client.conf:

Code: Select all

client
remote [IP ADDRESS]
ca /etc/openvpn/certs/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/certs/ovpn3.crt
key /etc/openvpn/keys/ovpn3.key
dh /etc/openvpn/keys/dh.pem
cipher AES-256-CBC
dev tun0
proto udp
port 1194 #or any other
redirect-gateway
remote-cert-tls server
resolv-retry infinite
nobind
auth-nocache
persist-key
persist-tun
mute-replay-warnings
mute 20
float
- run:

Code: Select all

su
toor
openvpn /etc/openvpn/client.conf

Dear @Blaze and Dear @AcnapyxoB,

Thank you both.
In the meantime I tested what @Blaze send last time and is working.
As obervation is working with only

Code: Select all

groupadd -g 320 nm-openvpn
or

Code: Select all

useradd -u 320 -g nm-openvpn -d /var/lib/openvpn/chroot -s /bin/false nm-openvpn
Even without command below (I know I need a correct hh:mm) :

Code: Select all

cp /etc/localtime{,.bak} && rm /etc/localtime && ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Bucharest /etc/localtime && ntpdate pool.ntp.org && hwclock -lw
And also without openvpn-2.4.8-x86_64-1.xzm active, but NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.11-x86_64-1bl.xzm active.
Just boot on fresh Porteus :) with NetworkManager-openvpn-1.8.11-x86_64-1bl.xzm active and enter this under root (groupadd -g 320 nm-openvpn) or this (useradd -u 320 -g nm-openvpn -d /var/lib/openvpn/chroot -s /bin/false nm-openvpn), but not both, because I obtain this:

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ su
Password: 
root@porteus:/home/guest# groupadd -g 320 nm-openvpn
root@porteus:/home/guest# useradd -u 320 -g nm-openvpn -d /var/lib/openvpn/chroot -s /bin/false nm-openvpn
useradd: user 'nm-openvpn' already exists
I wrote so much details, maybe it will belp others or for futher reference.
Thank you both.

Now, the next step I tried to put the command in rc.local, but it not worked.
If you have any suggestion, please share here.

Thank you again,
amplatfus


PS Edit1: I solved with rc.local after I saved both command there like @Blaze said:

Code: Select all

groupadd -g 320 nm-openvpn
useradd -u 320 -g nm-openvpn -d /var/lib/openvpn/chroot -s /bin/false nm-openvpn

Dear Community,

Now I have another situation regarding Samba and mount network folder from Asus Router (external USB HDD) to local Porteus Mate 5.0. On router I have activated SMB version 2 and 1.
If I try to connect without specify vers=1.0 I have entry in messages and in syslog.
If I specify vers=1.0 I have entry only in messages.
Below you can find commands and output.

Please, if you have any suggestion, share it here. If I will find something, I will update this post.

Thank you so much,
amplatfus
