VPN is still not working

[lukaluki]

I am using a paid vpn, pptp is just for testing though, openvpn will be used. But if pptp is not working, openvpn wont work either. However thx for the concern

Regarding to the Topic, any Solution ?

[brokenman]

Does your VPN work from a command line?
Do you have the package NetworkManager-pptp installed?

Code: Select all

ls /var/log/packages/NetworkManager*

Look at this post: VPN not working
For me it's working after settings permission:

su
mknod /dev/ppp c 108 0

Porteus 4.0 Cinnamon & XFCE

Code: Select all

ls /var/log/packages/NetworkManager*

Code: Select all

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

Same error like before after klicking "connect" to the new created vpn connection:

I am in copy2ram mode with root:

result="fail" reason="The VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.pptp' was not installed."

It seems some packages are missing.

Porteus 3.2.2 (32):

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

[Ed_P]

Problem with the dump-session command. See changes=EXIT: manual update (Post by johnywhy #66413) and changes=EXIT: manual update (Post by Ed_P #66414)

-update-

dump-session command bug fix

Why does porteus not work from scratch with vpn ? I remember times when Version 3 had no problem using vpn / openvpn

[brokenman]

Why does porteus not work from scratch with vpn ?

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.

[Ed_P]

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

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.

[ncmprhnsbl]

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

[brokenman]

That should be fixed now. Thanks.

[Ed_P]

Yup, it works.
