Installation fails on Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro

On pressing "Install", and it completing it shows "Failed to install, please 
check log".

Log shows as follows:

mountPoint /dev/block/mtdblock0 on /system type yaffs2 [ro]

/system was mounted read-read-only

executing 'su -c mount -o remount,ro /dev/block/mtdblock0 /system'

Success!

This appears to be an issue where the cp command doesn't exist in the busybox 
on the X10's, however cat $IN >> $OUT does work.

Please add android.permission.ACCESS_SUPERUSER to Manifest

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Running both, the installer and the settings app lets superuser (clockworkmod 
one) complain about the missing permission flag.
To make the app work in future and for security reasons, please add following 
line to your android manifest file:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_SUPERUSER" />

thanks for the great app!

Battery Life

Well, I don't think there is much that can be done for this aspect. However, 
would it be possible to significantly improve battery for openvpn? I'm guessing 
unless there is a way to handle openvpn's continuous connection, there won't be 
 solution. But, I just wanted to ask in case.

Openvpn fails on Samsung Galaxy S - WiFi OK - 3G Fails

All installed OK
Using Openvpn Settings from the market
All correct when connected - picks up IP addresses etc from the server.
Indeed an external WiF connection through the internet to the server - 
everything works.

However using 3G - it connects OK but fails - failure shown when a VoIP SIP 
client connects to a VoIP SIP server - the client registers OK but cant make 
calls.  Also the Android browsing to a web server over the VPN starts to 
connect - then hangs.

Also tested - Android was set up for tethering (WiFi Access Point to 3G 
internet service) and a Windows laptop connected.  The Windows laptop runs 
OpenvpnGUI and everything works - inc VoIP and all web services. To me this 
means that it IS possible to run across the 3G.

Notes:-
The Openvpn server is a DD-WRT Linksys working as a UDP Bridge (tap0) which 
works perfectly for other clients.

Here are the config files
SERVER
mode server
proto udp 
port 1194 
dev tap0 
server-bridge 10.0.020.001 255.255.255.0 10.0.020.050 10.0.020.060 
keepalive 10 120 
daemon 
verb 5 
client-to-client 
dh /tmp/openvpn/dh.pem 
ca /tmp/openvpn/ca.crt 
cert /tmp/openvpn/cert.pem 
key /tmp/openvpn/key.pem 

CLIENT
remote XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 1194

resolv-retry infinite 
nobind

Any ideas?

openvpn included does not support "ifconfig" config option

Ok, this is what happened to me, I have everything set, busybox, proper tun.ko 
for my kernel and openvpn from this package.

When I run "openvpn --config android.conf" on my device, I get an error saying 
that the config line "ifconfig 10.1.1.2 10.1.1.1" which should set its IP 
address is not working or unsupported.

Installing a new openvpn binary solved the problem completely, I've used the 
one from this page: 
http://code.google.com/p/android-openvpn-settings/issues/detail?id=26

Since replacing the binary solved the issue, I think I can safely state that it 
is this actual version's fault.

Most likely openvpn as for now is only working in its PKI form, not the PSK.

Incorect binary installed after gui selection

After selecting to install openvpn binary configured tu use

"/system/xbin/bb/ifconfig not found" errors).

There is typo error in OpenVPNInstaller.java file - wrong binary files in "case

Make path to ifconfig and route more configurable

ifconfig and route might sit in other locations than /system/bin or /system/xbin

* Use a text field to enter path.
* Try to locate busybox and ifconfig/route links to busybox.

Make path to ifconfig and route configurable upon installation

Original post from:
http://github.com/fries/android-external-openvpn/issues#issue/2


I have a problem with OpenVPN Settings and my HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 - i
have installed the MoDaCo custom ROM 3.2.

So Busybox is integrated, but i have no /system/xbin/bb/ifconfig - if i ask
'which ifconfig' i get /system/xbin/ifconfig (which links to busybox)

if i want to start my openvpn config, after entering the password i get
this error:
FATAL: Linux ifconfig failed: could not execute external program

Can you fix this for the MoDaCo Hero users? :)

Let me know if i can help you in any way!

openvpn binary doesn't allow setting default route

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install openvpn binary with android-openvpn-installer
2. use android-openvpn-settings to connect to openvpn-server with 
push "redirect-gateway def1" set
3. test if all traffic is routed through vpn-connection 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
All Traffic should be routed through the VPN-Server, instead all traffic goes 
through "standard" connection (eg. Wifi or 3G).
when calling 'route' on terminal I get the route to my Wifi-accesspoint.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
recent market versions of openvpn-settings and openvpn-installer



If I use the openvpn binary from 
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702634
setting the route works (checked with 'route' on terminal) and traffic is 
routed through the server.

remounting rw fails on Samsung Moment (maybe others)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install OpenVPN Installer apk on Samsung Moment running cupcak MR14
2. Run OpenVPN installer, select Install, either /system/bin or /system/xbin
3. Wait for install to fail. Show log indicates it failed to remount /system 
due to invalid arguments for mount due to basic mount implementations

Please provide any additional information below.

It attempts to issue the command (in su -c):
  mount -oremount,rw /system
but this is syntax is not as widely supported.

Attached patch adjusts the mount command to include the device name 
which is more widely supported by basic mount implementations.

Changes mount command (on my device) to:
  mount -o remount,rw /dev/stl5 /system

/system rw remount fails on Android 4.3

This is a known "problem" with 4.3. While remounting the /system partition in 
rw mode actually works, it only shows it for the user that did the mount 
command, root here. So reading /proc/mounts as normal user will not show 
/system as rw, and the test fails

The attached patch works around this problem by reading it via "su -c cat 
/proc/mounts", working fine here :)

There is no cp binary. You can either use cat to copy the file with a redirect 
(cat filename > /install/path)

Or you can use busybox's cp implementation.
