PC in a USB port running Linux Mint and or Win11
Maybe I'm missing something here. Normal setup has always been:
Install OpenVPN from zip file
OpenVPN then offers Manual or Wizard
I select Wizard the Private Internet Access then select a server to use. Never once had any issues in a dozen years but it seems
PIA had a bad entry in OpenVPN? I'm just guessing at this. Per Chewitt PIA provided OpenVPN a defective file entry?
Ok. In the past I've setup my PIA in LE by using the Wizard provided with OpenVPN. I take it I need to use something different?
Forgive my ignorance but where is the file to be edited? I found no config files on the RPi5 microsd card.
Meantime I decided to have a go at the edit option. This can be done using ssh only? I was looking for way to edit the config file on a pc but can't find the file anywhere on the micro sdcard. Probably a dumb question but I'm in the dark here.
I see this is a PIA issue so I contacted them. I found this issued has been around for some time so maybe it's time for them to correct it.
Got it. Thanks.
So if I understand this issue correctly would a clean install of LE13 with OpenSSL 3.5.0 solve this?
Not sure what's going on here so I defer to the LE Gurus. Just started today. This is a photo of the error log. Running RPi5 with nightly 13.0 20250201.
I've used OpenVPN for over a decade and never had any issues other than a hefty speed decrease. Not so much of an issue now with 300mbps but at slower starting connections a real issue. Very interested in giving it go on one of my builds. I've several LE builds of different flavor hardware and maybe the RPi5 might be a good starting platform.
If I understand this Wireguard would be a replacement option for OpenVPN?
Hi DF
I thought the RPi3 specs were 1gig of ram?
You might also consider a request in the Kodi forum for the skin you use. Very helpful Devs there might already have a skin that meets your needs.
I think I figured it out and found it. Eager to test them all. x86, Rpi 2,4 and 5.
So grateful for your efforts here.
I'll check. Thanks.
I must be looking in the wrong place. My 12.01 legacy x86 build it shows up but not showing in Rpi5. It's a recent nightly build so maybe not included? Anyway is it possible to download the addon from github repo?
I found the zip file from earlier in this thread but says dependency not met.
Maybe I'm missing something but I can't seem to locate the ntfs-3g in the LE12.0 repo. I'm eager to test on RPi 3,4 &5.
As I understand it the issue is not with LE rather the Linux kernel that changed it's handling of read/write to devices. Actually I think MS made some NTFS code changes as I find many times my usb drives are reported to have issues when none exist. Some sort of error flag is being set for who knows why. That seems to cause HD mount issues in Linux so not really a LE issue.
Well I'd say you don't have many choices.
I can appreciate your issues as a many of us had the same problems. Backups are always the best plan to preserve valuable data but in your case if you wish the best current solution I would reformat to EXT4. As I mentioned I have two 4TB drives identical data in both. One formatted NTFS and the other EXT4. Twice in 6 months the NTFS drive has presented the same issues you mentioned and the EXT4 formatted drive has been rock solid. Both are used exclusively with LE. This issue has been around for some time and I know the Devs are looking at it but still presents itself occasionally. Your physical drive is probably not the culprit here.
