How to Install OpenVPN on Nokia 770/OS2006

The 2006 application catalog shows this for OpenVPN:

OpenVPN: SSL VPN solution

*

Home Page: [WWW] openvpn.net/

*

Port Page: [WWW] www.rahkonen.org/openvpn.html

*

Download: [WWW] www.gotontheinter.net/770-debs/openvpn_2.0-1maemo2_armel.deb

*

Alt Download: [WWW] www.gotontheinter.net/770-debs/openvpn_2.0-2maemo2_armel.deb (with compression support - requires liblzo1)

*

Repository: (n/a)

*

Distribution: (n/a)

*

Component: (n/a)

*

Status: Working

OpenVPN needs root permissions. Authentication with pam and lzo compression support are currently disabled so that OpenVPN package would not need any additional dependencies.

Updated with -o0 (no more errors on certificates) and no more maemo dependency. So it should work (it works for me, using my Maemo-1.x configuration.) Remember that /var/lib/install is gone, so its /etc/openvpn now. And /etc/default/openvpn holds startup information.

Update (Adi Roiban) - you can get liblzo1 from maemo-hackers.org/apt repository and openvpn with lzo support from here [WWW] cjfsg.utcluj.ro/maemo2/openvpn_with_lzo/openvpn

----

All of those .deb files show a "Not installable" error. Even after libraries that some webpages suggest need to be installed first does not resolve the problem.

The very last file listed: cjfsg.utcluj.ro/maemo2/openvpn_with_lzo/openvpn

offers no hint as to what it might be, except possibly by the lack of an extension. That file is an executable binary. I downloaded it and moved it to /usr/bin and openvpn immediately started working.

Thank author of this post/commentI just got my Nokia 770 yesterday and I would like to install OpenVPN. I have the latest tablet OS V3.2006.49-2. I was able to save the installation file to my memory card no problem. I see it in file manager as openvpn_2.0- 1maemo2_armel, type application/ x-debian-package, size .3MB

However when I install it right away I get a message "unable to install. Incompatible package"

Interestingly, the installer sees it as being .9MB. Is it possible that some decompression step is failing?

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Thank author of this post/commentI just discovered the application manager log that told me 'Package must have "Section: user/F00 to be considered compatible'

Does anyone know what that means?

Thanks

Thank author of this post/commentI figured it out. It turns out that OpenVPN has to be installed in "red pill mode". Once I found out about that the installation went pretty smoothly except for when I damaged /etc/apt/sources.lst and for awhile my Application Manager wouldn't work. However this appears to be a text-based OpenVPN since I don't see any way to run it except from the command line. I had also installed Osso Xterm, so I have a command line in fact. Not what I was expecting, but probably OK.

Thank author of this post/commentMy suggestion was in my original message:

That file is an executable binary. I downloaded it and moved it to /usr/bin and openvpn immediately started working.

I never used red pill mode. And OpenVPN (for me) runs from the command line.
