shaggy: the error you get looks like you don't reach the OpenVPN server at all. Could you retry without the "local 127.0.0.1" line in your config ? Providing a "local" will force openvpn to bind only from that address, possibly preventing your connection to succeed. Without "local", OpenVPN can bind using any address... You should also check if the "openvpn" user and group is defined on your system, just in case you might be experiencing what Zombie Ryushu describes.
Riskable: looking at the logs, your problem is different from the one of this bug reporter. If you still encounter this issue, could you please file a separate bug about it ? Pirx: the bug you're experiencing looks a lot like bug 232493. If you agree, please comment and follow progress on that bug. ** Changed in: openvpn (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- hardy's OpenVPN 2.1_Rc7 not connecting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/206569 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
