[02:11] <Chelsea_Jurgens> Hi, anyone around to help me with a permissions question
[02:12] <ianorlin> what is the permissions question
[02:13] <Chelsea_Jurgens> well i am trying to configure openvpn client, and i believe one of the steps is moving some files into etc/openvpn
[02:13] <Chelsea_Jurgens> currently says permission denied
[02:14] <krytarik> !sudo | Chelsea_Jurgens
[02:14] <ianorlin> yes because normal users don't have write permissions there
[02:14] <Chelsea_Jurgens> how would i change the permissions?
[02:14] <Chelsea_Jurgens> sudo chmod
[02:14] <ianorlin> or just move the files with sudo
[02:15] <Chelsea_Jurgens> how would i do either?
[02:18] <ianorlin> sodu mv file /etc/openvpn
[02:19] <Chelsea_Jurgens> and how could i confirm its there if i do not have permission
[02:20] <ianorlin> you have read permissions normally
[02:21] <holstein> !vpn
[02:23] <Chelsea_Jurgens> i 'll try
[02:23] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: do you have sudo permission on the machine?
[02:23] <Chelsea_Jurgens> i dont understand how i can run the ovpn file if i cannot access the directory etc/openvpn
[02:24] <Chelsea_Jurgens> yes i believe i do
[02:24] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: confirm, then, you'll have all the permission you need
[02:24] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: in a terminal, sudo -i should give you a root shell
[02:24] <Chelsea_Jurgens> it does
[02:25] <holstein> so, you have permission to do what you need
[02:25] <holstein> should be able to use a GUI
[02:25] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient
[02:26] <holstein> !info network-manager-pptp
[02:26] <holstein> for example..
[02:27] <Chelsea_Jurgens> ahh i see
[02:27] <Chelsea_Jurgens> doing root gave me access to the folder
[02:28] <Chelsea_Jurgens> now i just need to know how to get it to work, as when i tried connecting it failed
[02:29] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: sure.. try to get what to work?
[02:30] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: i would read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient and add the part of the GUI that "just works" for your needs
[02:30] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: you shouldnt need to do much in the commandline for a client
[02:31] <Chelsea_Jurgens> the only files i was provided was a.crt file and a .ovpn file
[02:31] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: sure.. provided by whom? for what? and why?
[02:31] <Chelsea_Jurgens> it's for work
[02:31] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: you should be able to get the credentials for the server, and use the tools i link to connect
[02:32] <holstein> if they require a tool that is not part of linux, then, you can have issues
[02:32] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: do you know what tool this is? what server? do you have credentials?
[02:32] <Chelsea_Jurgens> not sure exactly what i need, i was given a username and password
[02:32] <Chelsea_Jurgens> as well as a .crt file and .ovpn file
[02:32] <holstein> http://askubuntu.com/questions/187511/how-can-i-use-a-ovpn-file-with-network-manager is more like what i would expect to do
[02:33] <holstein> if "they" gave you instructions, you can try folowing them
[02:33] <holstein> but, i would make a note of what you do as root..
[02:33] <holstein> and , konw how to undo that..
[02:34] <Chelsea_Jurgens> no instructions... do i just need a user certificate, ca certificate and private key?
[02:34] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: right. those are the questions to ask the provider of the server, correct
[02:35] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: otherwise, use the links i provided, and try the credentials you have in the GUI
[02:35] <holstein> the URL, or ip. the port.. the username, and password
[02:35] <holstein> im creating a VPN for my girlfriend to use.. i'll just do simple pptp, and give her the credentials
[02:35] <holstein> the URL, port, user and pass
[02:36] <holstein> you can see at http://askubuntu.com/questions/187511/how-can-i-use-a-ovpn-file-with-network-manager that those files you link and where to deal with them in the GUI are mentioned
[02:37] <Chelsea_Jurgens> interesting
[02:38] <Chelsea_Jurgens> i must be missing some info
[02:38] <Chelsea_Jurgens> i just requested from my tech guy if he has a user certificate and a private key for me
[02:38] <Chelsea_Jurgens> .crt and .key file
[02:41] <holstein> sure
[02:41] <holstein> try just putting them where he suggested
[02:41] <holstein> should have information in the links i gave.. just try and keep moving.. try with a live iso, if you are "afraid" to break something
[02:41] <holstein> just try putting the files where the GUI states,..
[02:47] <Chelsea_Jurgens> hmm
[02:51] <Chelsea_Jurgens> thanks a lot for the help holstein
[02:51] <Chelsea_Jurgens> i'll dig deeper
[03:01] <holstein> Chelsea_Jurgens: sure.. reminded me to set mine up :)
