Manjaro 17.0 KDE - not connecting #8

Closed gitJWR closed 7 years ago

gitJWR commented 7 years ago

I have a fresh install of Manjaro 17.0 KDE and your script worked flawlessly to populate the connections in the network manager. However, any connection I click on says "connecting" for a couple seconds and then stops and goes back to listed as "never used". I'm not getting any pop up error messages at all. Hoping you can help me troubleshoot this. I'm not terribly experienced, but follow direction well! Let me know if you need more info. Thanks. John

Wow, thanks so much! I'll look forward to what you find. Please let me know if there is any more info you need from my end.

Sorry, John, I was not able to reproduce this error. I loaded Manjaro KDE in a virtual machine, ran the script, and connected to the California server, and it connected without issue.

You might try running it again in case you typed username or password incorrectly the first time-- that would fail silently since I have no way of verifying that the password and username that you are storing in the openvpn config files are valid.

Ok, I'll give that a try--do I need to "uninstall" or edit anything first, or will running the script overwrite whatever I did the first time? Also, just want to make sure there isn't any extra configuration I'm supposed to be doing in the network manager is there? Just run the script and connect, right? Thanks for taking the time to look into it--I really appreciate it!

No uninstalling required-- config files are overwritten automatically. Shouldn't be anything else you need to do. The script should prompt you to install the networkmanager-openvpn package, make sure to say y when it prompts you

I owe you a major apology! Just discovered that I was using an old password...twice. Now that I have the correct info entered, it is working perfectly. I'm really sorry for taking your time, but thanks again for that. This is a great piece of work--so much better than other solutions I've tried. Take care.

No problem. Glad it's working for you!
