open VPN won't install on latest Firmware (38-2)
 

I just upgraded to 4.2007-38-2, and now the openvpn setup states that the software can't be installed on my n800! What gives? The firmware changes more that the swap trashing?

I have it running on a couple tablets with the latest firmware. If you're still having trouble drop me a line and I'll send you the deb I used.

Moonshine:

Still not able to install...

How do I contact you?

Hello...

Let's see if the DEB I use works for you... I put it here for you to grab:

Moonshine:

Just told me that the installation file is corrupted :-(

Are you tring to download it via the n800 itself by chance? I've seen odd things happen downloading debs like that sometimes (in MicroB maybe?).

Anyways, if that's the case try downloading/saving it via PC and then place it on the tablet to install. Or if you have unzip on the tablet you can try downloading this zip'd version.

If neither of those work for you, then just private message me your email and I'll email you a copy.

Something will work :)

Moonshine:

I downloaded the package on my Macbook, and copied it over to the N800 on one of the cards. Tried to install it and got a Incompatible Applications package message from the Application Managger.

Tried to PM you, but your profile states that you have chosen not receive them.

:-(

I think you just clicked on the "Send an email to moonshine" link rather then "Send a private message to Moonshine". I can receive private messages, just not email. Give it another shot and send me your e-mail address. I'll attach a copy of that DEB file. It should work for you.

I'm having the same issue. When I took a deeper look there was a dependency for libffi4. When I tried to install libffi4 it told me that package was incompatible as well. I'm wondering if it might make sense to downgrade to the shipping OS? My main reason for buying this unit was openvpn to the office and then VNC to different desktops for troubleshooting while on the road. It's a lot more convenient to bring a little tablet than my big 17" notebook. (What a mistake that notebook was.)

It has nothing to do with the firmware revision, it's the maemo extras repository that's borked:
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2063

Re: open VPN won't install on latest Firmware (38-2)
 

Finally got it installed. I still have to configure and test though. Is it just me, or do the repositories seem to take forever to respond?

If you look at other threads, you see this pythoon pblm can be fixed. Change into red pill mode in app manager and libffi4 will install. then python will install. REd pill mode is more powerful. google to find how

Re: open VPN won't install on latest Firmware (38-2)
 

Solved! Entered Red Pill mode and installed no problem. Now all we have to do is to get the Sofia SIP stack recognizing the tun connection and VOip on my Asterisk will be complete. (Bug 1860)

Thanks to all that lent a hand on this.

Re: open VPN won't install on latest Firmware (38-2)
 

Now I just have to talk to my VPN provider to see why I can't get a proper connection. Hopefully an easy fix and I'll be done. (Something about Cannot open TUN/TAP dev ourname-vpn. Which is true, since it's not there.)

Re: open VPN won't install on latest Firmware (38-2)
 

I'm still having issues with my SIP stack and my company's brand-new Asterisk system.
I can VPN into it just fine from home on my Macbook Pro and use a softphone with it, but the N800 just doesn't connect to it.
As goshito mentioned, it seems the current Sofia SIP stack Nokia's ported over somehow refuses to use the TUN connection. There is a bug report on it in Bugzilla, but so far no one has come up with a solution.
If anyone has any "NetFu" in regards to those of us trying to use Asterisk over VPN I'll be more than willing to test it out.

Re: open VPN won't install on latest Firmware (38-2)
 

Hehe I also log into Asterisk using eye beam from my Macbook pro :-)

And the 800 works fine from the Lan (using g729, btw). Openvpn works fine for vnc and ssh, but so far not/for rtcomm. The guys @ maemo are working on it though.
