[02:11] Hi, anyone around to help me with a permissions question [02:12] what is the permissions question [02:13] well i am trying to configure openvpn client, and i believe one of the steps is moving some files into etc/openvpn [02:13] currently says permission denied [02:14] !sudo | Chelsea_Jurgens [02:14] Chelsea_Jurgens: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [02:14] yes because normal users don't have write permissions there [02:14] how would i change the permissions? [02:14] sudo chmod [02:14] or just move the files with sudo [02:15] how would i do either? [02:18] sodu mv file /etc/openvpn [02:19] and how could i confirm its there if i do not have permission [02:20] you have read permissions normally [02:21] !vpn [02:21] For more information on vpn please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN [02:23] i 'll try [02:23] Chelsea_Jurgens: do you have sudo permission on the machine? [02:23] i dont understand how i can run the ovpn file if i cannot access the directory etc/openvpn [02:24] yes i believe i do [02:24] Chelsea_Jurgens: confirm, then, you'll have all the permission you need [02:24] Chelsea_Jurgens: in a terminal, sudo -i should give you a root shell [02:24] it does [02:25] so, you have permission to do what you need [02:25] should be able to use a GUI [02:25] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient [02:26] !info network-manager-pptp [02:26] network-manager-pptp (source: network-manager-pptp): network management framework (PPTP plugin core). In component main, is optional. Version 0.9.8.2-1ubuntu2 (utopic), package size 21 kB, installed size 114 kB (Only available for linux-any) [02:26] for example.. [02:27] ahh i see [02:27] doing root gave me access to the folder [02:28] now i just need to know how to get it to work, as when i tried connecting it failed [02:29] Chelsea_Jurgens: sure.. try to get what to work? [02:30] 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] Chelsea_Jurgens: you shouldnt need to do much in the commandline for a client [02:31] the only files i was provided was a.crt file and a .ovpn file [02:31] Chelsea_Jurgens: sure.. provided by whom? for what? and why? [02:31] it's for work [02:31] Chelsea_Jurgens: you should be able to get the credentials for the server, and use the tools i link to connect [02:32] if they require a tool that is not part of linux, then, you can have issues [02:32] Chelsea_Jurgens: do you know what tool this is? what server? do you have credentials? [02:32] not sure exactly what i need, i was given a username and password [02:32] as well as a .crt file and .ovpn file [02:32] 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] if "they" gave you instructions, you can try folowing them [02:33] but, i would make a note of what you do as root.. [02:33] and , konw how to undo that.. [02:34] no instructions... do i just need a user certificate, ca certificate and private key? [02:34] Chelsea_Jurgens: right. those are the questions to ask the provider of the server, correct [02:35] Chelsea_Jurgens: otherwise, use the links i provided, and try the credentials you have in the GUI [02:35] the URL, or ip. the port.. the username, and password [02:35] im creating a VPN for my girlfriend to use.. i'll just do simple pptp, and give her the credentials [02:35] the URL, port, user and pass [02:36] 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] interesting [02:38] i must be missing some info [02:38] i just requested from my tech guy if he has a user certificate and a private key for me [02:38] .crt and .key file [02:41] sure [02:41] try just putting them where he suggested [02:41] 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] just try putting the files where the GUI states,.. [02:47] hmm [02:51] thanks a lot for the help holstein [02:51] i'll dig deeper [03:01] Chelsea_Jurgens: sure.. reminded me to set mine up :) === Transfusion1 is now known as Transfusion [18:02] hallo [18:02] sind damen mit dicken titten hier [23:13] <[FR]Dae> Bonsoir, l'un d'entre vous pourrais t'il m'aider avec mon problème ? je n'ai plus de son =) --- Hi ! i have some problemes, i don't have sound can you help me ?
