[opensuse] Various issues with vpnc
Hi, I just reinstalled opensuse 11.1, but I'm experiencing various problems with vpnc: -the command line file keeps on asking me username and password although they are correctly specified in the .conf file: ## generated by pcf2vpnc IPSec ID MYGROUP IPSec gateway 10.0.0.2 IPSec secret MYPASSWORD IKE Authmode psk ## To add your username and password, ## use the following lines: # Xauth username <your username> # Xauth password <your password> the file mode is 0600. ********************************************************************************** The packages I installed are: nico2:~ # rpm -qa | grep -i vpnc kvpnc-0.9.0-1.89 NetworkManager-vpnc-gnome-0.7.0.r4274-1.19 vpnc-0.5.1-6.50 NetworkManager-vpnc-kde4-0.7-9.5 NetworkManager-vpnc-0.7.0.r4274-1.19 BUT -in kde4 networkmanager doesn't permit to add or edit VPN connections -in gnome networkmanager can import .pcf files and edit the settings, but the connection doesn't work. In the log I can read: Aug 28 15:55:14 nico2 NetworkManager: <info> Starting VPN service 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.vpnc'...

Finally, and totally OT, where the hell can I tell kde4 to show in the panel only the windows active in the current desktop? I can't absolutely find the option.
*Not* OT! Right click on the taskbar and select "Task Manager Settings". You will see the options. Note that the task bar must have ample empty space for the "Task Manager Setting" pop-up to be activated. -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
