 |
|
I'm having problem starting openvpn after recent upgrade.
When I try to start it I get a normal respond: | Code: | openvpn.client_clinic_atom start
* Starting openvpn.client_clinic_atom ... [ ok ]
* WARNING: openvpn.client_clinic_atom has started, but is inactive |
but ifconfig is not showing this connection in addition it looks strange, not as it used to:
| Code: | ifconfig eth1: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 10.0.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255
inet6 fe80::21b:21ff:feb8:27b6 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x20<link>
ether 00:1b:21:b8:27:b6 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
RX packets 16129 bytes 9087618 (8.6 MiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 15573 bytes 2667489 (2.5 MiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
device interrupt 16 memory 0xfddc0000-fdde0000
lo: flags=73<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING> mtu 16436
inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.0.0.0
inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 scopeid 0x10<host>
loop txqueuelen 0 (Local Loopback)
RX packets 1218 bytes 1433926 (1.3 MiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 1218 bytes 1433926 (1.3 MiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 |
What did changed? The "ifconfig" display looks different! It probably has something to do with openvpn not working.

Hello Joseph_sys,
We talked about this this kind of issue in this topic.
Actually, the lastest version of sys-apps/net-tools moved /sbin/ifconfig to /bin/ifconfig which kind of breaks openvpn. Then, few people found that re-emerging openvpn solved the issue :
| Code: | | emerge -v1 net-misc/openvpn |
Good luck :]
