Nm-openvpn broken

Hello,
The good-old workaround still applies to launch vpn:
~/$ killall nm-applet; killall gnome-shell; sh -c 'nm-applet &'; gnome-shell &[1] 8946
But since yesterday's pacman -Syu (or even one earlier from pacman.log):
[2012-11-02 21:51] upgraded openvpn (2.2.2-1 -> 2.2.2-2)
[2012-11-02 21:51] upgraded networkmanager-openvpn (0.9.4.0-1 -> 0.9.6.0-1)
I get the following into console, and no connection dialogues (Connection failed notification instead)
JS LOG: Error 'VPN plugin at /usr/lib/gnome-shell/nm-openconnect-auth-dialog is not executable' while processing VPN keyfile '/etc/NetworkManager/VPN/nm-openconnect-service.name'
JS LOG: Invalid VPN service type (cannot find authentication binary)
After research and performing:
cd /usr/lib/gnome-shell/
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/networkmanager/nm-openvpn-* .
Now I get this in the console:
JS LOG: Invalid VPN service type (cannot find authentication binary)
Hope you'll help me out.. Cheers!

Could anyone please check this behaviour before I submit bug?
I do not know which package broke the functionality, but I am 90% sure on 2nd of November it still worked, and an update on 11th November broke things
Cheers!

How to configure Firefox to use OpenVPN?

summary: I'm running OpenVPN from a Debian client through a Debian jumpbox/server. After I [start the server, start the client] most IP-based applications (DNS, ping, ssh) seem to work from the client, but client's Firefox cannot connect to http://www.whatismyip.com/ (or any other URI). How to configure Firefox to use the VPN? or otherwise fix the problem? or further debug it?
details:
I have a laptop running debian_version==jessie/sid with Firefox version=33.0 which needs to access a compute cluster. The cluster formerly required only an SSL VPN (enabled by a Firefox plugin) to access, but now has several additional requirements, which I seek to satisfy by running the SSL VPN through a jumpbox running an OpenVPN server. The jumpbox is running a "vanilla" Debian 7.7.
I have been using the laptop successfully for a few years without network problems. Currently I have the laptop connected by wire directly to an ISP-supplied modem/router. With `openvpn` NOT running on the laptop, I see:
* `ifconfig` shows no entry='tun0' (just "the usual" entries for 'eth0', 'lo', 'wlan0'), and shows the expected client IP# bound to 'eth0'.
* I can `ping` my jumpbox/server using its real IP#, but cannot `ping 10.8.0.1`
* I can `ssh` to my jumpbox/server using its real IP#, but cannot `ssh 10.8.0.1`
* `nslookup www.whatismyip.com` gives correct results
* browsing to http://www.whatismyip.com/ shows my client's IP# (as also shown in `ifconfig`)
Both my client/laptop and server/jumpbox setups are quite generic OpenVPN-wise, and are almost exactly as described on the Debian wiki

I then see the following on my client:
* `ifconfig` shows a new entry=`tun0`, which looks correct
* I can `ping` the server using either its real IP# or `10.8.0.1`
* I can `ssh` to the server using either its real IP# or `10.8.0.1`
* `nslookup www.whatismyip.com` gives correct results
... but I get no connection if I open a new instance of Firefox and browse to http://www.whatismyip.com/ :-( "Looking up www.whatismyip.com..." succeeds quickly but the status line continues to display "Connecting to www.whatismyip.com..." until the attempt times out. I also get the same behavior (connection timeout) if I open a new instance of Chrome, or if I browse to http://www.whatismyip.com/ with a Firefox opened prior to starting OpenVPN. FWIW I get the same behavior browsing to any URI, including (e.g.) Google.
This is a major problem for me! For the SSL VPN to work, I need to start a Firefox and run it (since the SSL VPN's vendor only supports it on Linux via a Firefox plugin) to access a particular remote-access website. Furthermore I need the SSL VPN to run through the jumpbox/OpenVPN. (Don't ask, it's a long, sad story ...)
Is there something I must do to configure Firefox to use the VPN? Or is there some other way to fix this?
Alternatively, what should I do to further debug the problem? It just seems odd to me that the other services work (e.g., `nslookup`, `ssh`) but Firefox does not. That being said, both Firefox and Chrome fail in this usecase, so the problem might be generic to web browsers.
your assistance is appreciated, Tom Roche <[email protected]>

You're kidding. You have to go through that rigamarole just to put your bookmarks on your own server? Where's the simple FTP option?
Also, the above-linked article has a broken link. The link to the weaveserver (which is what you have to set up on your own server) is no good, and there is no obvious replacement. There are plenty of Weave-related repositories here:
http://hg.mozilla.org/labs
but it's not clear what you need.

Having major OpenVPN difficulties [Self-solved]

EDIT: the problem was caused by this, in my /etc/openvpn/server.conf:
log /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log
log-append /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log
ONLY ONE of those two lines is necessary; they are two different ways of logging to openvpn.log.
Now that it's finally done and I have a working OpenVPN server, I almost feel like writing about some of my discoveries and the things I learned along the way in the Wiki article.
Original post:
The openvpn daemon script is reporting failure, and when I try openvpn from the command line (as "/usr/sbin/openvpn --verb 9 --conf /etc/openvpn/server.conf") I get no output, no messages, nothing; it's as if I hit enter on an empty line. Is there any way to monitor what the program is doing when it attempts to start up (i.e. get information about what's going on), so that I can finally diagnose the problem properly and be finished with this time-hungry pet project?
For at least a week I have been trying and trying and trying to get an OpenVPN server successfully running on my Arch Linux machine, and now I'm at my wits' end. I decided to post after having spent the past seven hours reading the OpenVPN FAQ's and HOWTO's, the manual page, and the partially obsolete wiki pages about configuring OpenVPN.
As for my setup, here's a rough chronology of what I have accomplished so far. I'm pretty sure I took all the necessary steps;
1. I set up a bridge; my Arch box was previously acting as a gateway with a class A subnet. To continue having this functionality while adding a bridge so that OpenVPN could run in bridged mode, I configured a bridge, br0, to serve the same essential purpose as eth1 initially did in controlling the subnet. Essentially, I made the following changes (taking advice from http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-s … ging.html):
/etc/rc.conf, FROM:
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 10.1.1.31"
TO:
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 0.0.0.0 promisc up"
br0="br0 10.1.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast 10.1.1.31"
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1 br0)
Also, I added "tun" and "bridge" to the MODULES list in rc.conf, and added to /etc/conf.d/bridges:
bridge_br0="eth1"
BRIDGE_INTERFACES=(br0)
After adding the following firewall rules, everything was working as it was previously (machines could connect to the bridge-controlled subnet through eth1 and hence to the WAN);
iptables -N fw-interfaces
iptables -A FORWARD -j fw-interfaces
iptables -A fw-interfaces -i br0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A fw-interfaces -i eth1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A fw-interfaces -i tap0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.42.144.0/16 -d 10.42.144.0/16 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.42.144.0/16 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 10.42.144.0/16 -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
Furthermore, the following is written in /etc/dnsmasq.conf:
listen-address=10.1.1.1
dhcp-range=10.1.1.2,10.1.1.5,24h
2. I wrote init scripts for adding a virtual interface (tap0) to be used by OpenVPN; Since I want to be able to use the bridge/gateway when OpenVPN isn't running (since my desktop computer uses the gateway!) and most of the openvpn init scripts out there (on the community wiki / OpenVPN website) create and destroy bridges as needed by the OVPN daemon, I decided to keep my bridge configuration as it is and put the necessary commands for adding a virtual tap device, configuring it and attaching it to the existing bridge (and finally attempting to start OpenVPN) in /etc/rc.local, and to write these commands I referred to http://www.openvpn.net/index.php/open-s … dging.html ;
/usr/sbin/openvpn --mktun --dev tap0
brctl addif br0 tap0
ifconfig tap0 0.0.0.0 promisc up
/etc/rc.d/openvpn start
3. I took the necessary steps to configure openvpn; I generated the client/server keys, copied them to /etc/openvpn/ and wrote my server configuration file as follows:
mode server
port 1194
proto udp
dev tap0
ca ca.crt
cert server.crt
key server.key
dh dh1024.pem
server-bridge 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.224 10.1.1.6 10.1.1.30 # I set this option using the instructions at http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/faq.html#bridge-addressing, since I already use dnsmasq on the first 4 available client addresses on the subnet
client-to-client
comp-lzo
user nobody # I have tried leaving this line commented out
group nobody # I have tried leaving this line commented out
status /var/log/openvpn/openvpn-status.log
log /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log
log-append /var/log/openvpn/openvpn.log
verb 9
Also, for the daemon script I'm using with the one supplied in the Arch package, and verified that the command it uses for starting the daemon isn't broken; I put "echo" before the command to see what it was, and it put out:
/usr/sbin/openvpn --daemon --writepid /var/run/openvpn/server.pid --cd /etc/openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/server.conf
Is there something I'm missing? should I change permissions on any of the key files or directories that the daemon will be using?

To suppress this message:
NOTE: OpenVPN 2.1 requires '--script-security 2' or higher to call user-defined scripts or executables
put
script-security 3
in your /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf. The following one:
VERIFY ERROR: depth=1, error=self signed certificate in certificate chain
may suggest that your client has no access to CA certificates. Ensure this part is set up as following:
ca /etc/openvpn/ca.crt
cert /etc/openvpn/user.crt
key /etc/openvpn/user.key
ns-cert-type server
Would you mind pasting the exact content of your /etc/openvpn/openvpn.conf?
Edit: is your OpenVPN instructed to update /etc/resolv.conf once the connection is established? Do you have a file with your password in your config directory and a line in the config file pointing it, like this:
auth-user-pass /etc/openvpn/password

[SOLVED] Cinnamon - network settings kind of broken

Hey,
after the last huge update -everything went fine- my network setting seem to be broken, although I'm online. When clicking "Network" in Cinnamon's system systems or right clicking on the NetworkManager applet and selecting "Network Settings" an additional popup appears saying:
The system network services are not compatible with this version.
I can simply close it and then look at my network setting, but the interface doesn't show up anymore.
I have no clue how to fix this, here are some information:

As already mentioned, my internet connection works fine, it's just not configurable through cinnamon anymore. Is anyone experiencing similar behaviour?

yup seems to be a version issue. There is some version check in cinnamon-control-center
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=192939
Although I can still edit network connections. Clicking on the network Manager applet has to options at the bottom "Network Setting" (doesn't work) and "Network Connections" which shows another dialog to edit connections this one works. It might that it comes with the network-manager-applet package. If so this might be a workaround until the version check in the control center gets fixed upstream.
Another solution would be to apply the patch proposed in the thread I linked but I didn't try that.

The first command is calling a schema on the agent which tells the agent what provider is being called. It is not going out to the web. This is how WSMan works. You can check out the following links if you want more details.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa384470%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

For the second command, can you run it again and if it fails run the following to verify the OMI daemon is running.
ps -ef | grep omiserver
Which should return something similar:
root 24264 1 0 11:27:40 ? 17:57 /opt/microsoft/scx/bin/omiserver -d
If the OMI daemon is running but the omicli command still fails, OpenVpn is somehow blocking this as my guess is once OpenVpn is shutdown the omicli command will work.
If the OMI daemon is not running try starting it by running:
scxadmin -start
then try running the omicli command again.

Jackd + guitar: "timeouts and broken pipes"

Hi friends! I'm trying to pass my electric guitar via any rack/effects (like Guitarix or Creox) with no luck. I've got this sound card:
01:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: Creative Labs [SB Live! Value] EMU10k1X
01:06.1 Input device controller: Creative Labs [SB Live! Value] Input device controller
I try with QJackCtl and invoking jackd from the terminal with any luck.
jackd -d alsa -C -P

I can hear my guitar and record with Audacity, but when jackd enter into the escenario everything blows up. I read that nowadays almost any sound card will work with QJackCtl with the default options. I play with the parameters and sometimes jack refuse to start. With the default options on i can make it run, but i get no sound of the racks or guitar effects processors neither the guitar tuners that use jack takes the sound from the guitar. My line input is in capture via alsamixer, but still no luck. Any clue on this? I'm skipping steps?
Thanks in advance.

HT1688 I have a damaged I-Phone and I need the contents of my calendar off of it. I did not have Mobile me at the time. Can I swap out the sim card from the broken phone to a new phone and recover this calendar?

I have an older I-Phone (3G) that for some reason the body of the phone has split in two. This phone was a business phone and it had a lot of important information on it. I have a second phone that is also a 3G. On the broken phone there is a lot of important information that I need in my calendar. Im not worried about anything else but the calendar. I didn't have the Mobile Me account at that time or I would be having this problem. Does anybody know if I can ust switch out the sim cards. I just need to recover the old calendar, so im hoping that the calendar will transfer when I switch the sim card into the good 3G. If that doesn't work does anybody know of anyway that I can retrieve this information off of this phone?

Nothing is stored on the sim card on an iPhone. If you backed up to your computer the backup will contain your calendar events. Otherwise, if your phone isn't functioning there is no way to back up or extract your calendar at this point.

HT1384 My lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch is broken, and I need some assistance.

As the title suggests, I can not use the lock screen/power button on my iPod Touch, it is broken. I can use Adaptive Touch to turn the screen on and off at will, and also turn my device off. But if I turn it off, I don't know how to get it to turn back on. Could I just plug it into a charger and turn it back on, or would I need to plug it into my computer? Please help, in a few days I won't have access to it for 9 weeks, I need immediate help.

If you power off the iPod, it will turn back on if you connect it to a charger like a wall charger or a computer. I just checked with a charging source to confirm. I knew it did it with a computer.

How do i transfer my musiclibrary from my iphone to a new computer since the computer the iphone is synct with is broken and no longer works

if the computer your music library is synct with is broken how do y transfer your music on your iphone to a new itunes on a new computer

1. Disable automatic syncing on connection: iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable....
2. Connect phone.
3. Right-click the device tab on left border of iTunes window and select "Transfer Purchases." This will transfer all iTunes store purchased music, media and apps to the iTunes library on the computer.
It won't transfer non-iTunes store music/media (i.e. CD's you ripped yourself) and these will get deleted from the phone when you sync. There are 3rd party apps for your computer which may be able to backup non-iTunes media on your phone. Google.

[LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw] only vertical lines when scanning, scanner broken?

Hi all! I have a problem with the scanner in my HP all in one. If I scan (using the printer function or apples ImageCapture: same result) the output is just a lot of vertical stripes (in colors when in color mode). Not a trace of the image I try to scan. The lines are there even if i scan an empty white page. I see the stripes both when doing a preview scan and an actual scan. The problems are very similar regardless of if I use the flatbed or the feeder scanner (they are separate scanner hardware, yes?). I have updated to the latest software for the printer/scanner and I am connecting over bonjour via wireless. I am on Os X 10.9.1. Anybody having similar problems or is my scanner just plain broken? Thanks in advance!Jon

, , I understand that both of you are seeing vertical lines when scanning from your Laserjet M276nw. First, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. Now, so I know where to begin I'd need to know the following:If you are seeing the vertical lines when you copy as well as scan?Are you seeing the vertical lines when you copy from the flatbed? The document feeder? both?If you are seeing the lines from both the flatbed and the feeder are they in the same place?Once I know this I'll be better able to assist you.

My Mac has broken and I want to sell it for parts. How can I be sure that my personal data that is/was on the hard drive is safe?

My 2006 MacBook Pro has broken. There is a little bit of drive noise when I turn it on, but then nothing happens. It is no big deal. Most of my files were backed up. There are a few files I would like to recover if possible, but nothing worth a major effort.
I have seen that broken MacBook Pro's go for about $300 on eBay for parts, so I would like to sell the MacBook Pro. However, I only want to do that after I am sure that my personal data is wiped out. Does anyone know how I can accomplish that? Does anyone know of an easy way to search the old hard drive for some of the data that I lost? Can a Genius Bar take care of this stuff for me (and how much do they charge?)?
Thank you for your help.

The ONLY real secure way to be sure that noone may recover data from your drive is, to remove the drive, and drill one or two 1" holes thru the disk.
A bit less secure but useful way is, to wipe out the data with a tool that's overwrite all sectors of the drive with randomized data in multiple runs.
For example: Permanent Ereaser http://www.edenwaith.com/products/permanent%20eraser/
Independent tests bring out, that even specialized recovery companies with forensic tools are unable to find useful data after such a run.

There are some recovery tools out there to fit your needs, e.g. MacKeeper http://mackeeper.zeobit.com/mac-data-recovery

I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
The monitor works in my other laptop.
Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

Seriously?
1. The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.
2. In my explanation it states: "I have the drivers on a disk"
Thanks for all your help!
Getting the drivers is not the problem. Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.

PDF Portfolio, broken in 9.4.6 also...... not funny Adobe...

PDF portfolio on Linux broke in 9.4.2, with newly released 9.4.6 it's still broken. It has been broken since February. I wonder if Adobe takes these things seriously, for sure it doesn't look that way. Many governmental institutes use portfolios, so please make an effort and fix it

as per Joel's recommendation, used 4.5 instead - that worked just fine
