Does your VPN work from a command line?
Do you have the package NetworkManager-pptp installed?
Code: Select all
ls /var/log/packages/NetworkManager*
How do i become super user?
Wear your underpants on the outside and put on a cape.

Look at this post:
VPN not working
For me it's working after settings permission:
su
mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

ls /var/log/packages/NetworkManager*
RESULT: /var/log/packages/NetworkManager-1.8.4-x86_64-1jay
so i guess its there ?
also have done:
su
mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

It seems some packages are missing.
Porteus 3.2.2 (32):
guest@porteus:~$ ls /var/log/packages/NetworkManager*
/var/log/packages/NetworkManager-1.4.4-i486-1jay
/var/log/packages/NetworkManager-

Yes missing the NetworkManager plugins. Can you run the openvpn from a command line? You will need to research how this is done.

Well it does work from scratch. I use it everyday. I think the problem is that the desktop mantainers aren't including the GUI portion which is the NetworkManager applet.

The Savedat file is saving too much when changes=EXIT is used. IMO
/home/guest/.mozilla/firefox/dxsqumip.default/storage/default/* and all the /home/guest/.java/deployment/cache/6.* sub directories are not needed.
Fewer files means faster shutdown and less disk space needed.
-update-
cleanup script copy update
/etc/changes-exit.conf
Code: Select all
:
:
!/home/guest/.cache/thumbnails/normal
!/home/guest/.cache/mozilla/firefox/dxsqumip.default/thumbnails/
!/home/guest/.mozilla/firefox/dxsqumip.default/storage/default/
!/home/guest/.mozilla/firefox/dxsqumip.default/datareporting/archived
!/home/guest/.java/deployment/cache/6.0/

Vbox Builder not downloading 05-devel.xzm module. Not in /tmp when module attempting to be activated.
And update-vbox shows link=$SERVER/i586/testing/live/update-vbox-live yet my machine is x86_64.

that's just where all the live update-* scripts are kept, the scripts themselves cover and detect arch..
EDIT:
looking at update-vbox-live:
line 96:
Code: Select all
KSRCLINK=$SERVER/$ARCH/kernel/porteus-$KR/05-devel.xzm
which translates to dl.porteus.org/x86_64/kernel/ or a mirror thereof.. which doesn't contain the latest kernel(and devel,sources.)
so, brokenman needs to, either copy the kernel to that directory,
or change the script to point to the correct location:
Code: Select all
KSRCLINK=$SERVER/$ARCH/current/kernel/05-devel.xzm
and same for crippled sources line: 134
