Hi.
Am using a vpn (torguard to be precise).
I’m only getting this readout while on Antergos when trying to use the VPN via the widget.
I should be able to use the VPN via the widget as a regular user as evidenced by that fact I can run the VPN as regular user from the widget from Fedora, OpenSuse Leap, or even Ubuntu.
No issue there.
Only on Antergos.
when trying to start Torguard from Terminal as root, I can start the widget and torguard starts up fine from from the widget without an issue.
Therefore, this is obviously a permissions issue.
Here’s a few outputs (I’ve only posted relevant information) and with some solutions that I’ve tried to no avail.
lsmod
Module Size Used by
tun 28672 3
hoped for solution (root) which for some reason did not work:
openvpn --mktun --dev tun28672 --user Modisc
Fri Apr 28 17:17:04 2017 TUN/TAP device tun28672 opened
Fri Apr 28 17:17:04 2017 Persist state set to: ON
No go.
The widget still starts with the initial error report (as regualer user).
Looking for solutions, please.
EDIT: I forgot.
The ‘up’ and ‘down’ are added to this file.
cat /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
#!/bin/bash
#
# Parses DHCP options from openvpn to update resolv.conf
# To use set as 'up' and 'down' script in your openvpn *.conf:
up /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
down /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
#
…and I’m pretty sure that the permissions for this file are correct:
ls -l /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
-rw-r-xr-x 1 root root 1921 Apr 23 17:36 /etc/openvpn/update-resolv-conf
