How to Install OpenVPN on Nokia 770/OS2006

Bill (152.163.37.212) -

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.


Comment #1 GaborKiss from Long Valley NJ -

I 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


Comment #2 GaborKiss from Long Valley NJ -

I 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


Comment #3 GaborKiss from Long Valley NJ -

I 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.


Comment #4 Bill from Lansing, Michigan -

My 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.
