OpenVPN Connecting Woes / "tun" adapter failure
« on: April 14, 2013, 09:20:33 AM »
Great people out there! Thanks for reading this. First post here.

Trying out PCLOS. Certainly a very good distribution.

I'm relatively used to configuring my "OpenVPN" clients without problems. With PCLOS ("fullMonty") I manage to open up the connection to my private "OpenVPN" server without errors, apparently. However, when I check the connection manager and try to initiate the "tun" adapter, the following error occurs:

localhost   net_applet[13672]   running: consolehelper openvpn < server URL omitted here >
localhost   openvpn[27695]   event_wait : Interrupted system call (code=4)

localhost   openvpn[27695]   Linux ip addr del failed: external program exited with error status: 255
localhost   openvpn[27695]   SIGTERM[hard,] received, process exiting

Within other major distros, I've always used the KDE network connection manage to create my VPN connections without further steps necessary.

Looking forward to your comments. Cheers everybody!
