openfortivpn Segmentation Fault?

moctir

Does anyone else have an issue with openfortivpn the last few weeks? I get a segmentation fault whenever I try to use it, I filed a bug 3 weeks ago but nothing has happened since. Annoyingly I can't work from home without connecting to our VPN.

That issue is a duplicate that I merged into another issue. I'm waiting on someone to join Matrix so I can tell them troubleshooting commands to use.

Thanks, is there any workaround at the minute do you know?

I came across this issue as well, the only workaround I found is downgrading to version 1.22.0 by running this command: sudo eopkg it https://cdn.getsol.us/repo/shannon/o/openfortivpn/openfortivpn-1.22.0-14-1-x86_64.eopkg

danilogs Just wanted to say thanks for this, not an ideal solution but at least I can work remotely fully since!

Thank you danilogs .

I still did not success but helps (solved my segmentation fault). Trying in command line, I got now the following error:

ERROR:  Timed out waiting for the ppp interface to be UP.

and a little bit later:

ERROR:  pppd: The link was terminated by the modem hanging up.

I needed to follow this issue for fedora explaining this is due to the upgrade of ppp to 2.5.
I set in /etc/ppp/options file (as root):

lock
ipcp-accept-remote

ending with a new line

Now, I can login in command line with:

sudo openfortivpn w.x.y.z:port -u user --trusted-cert  mycertificate

I provide my password, it works.

but still not successfull using graphical interface (maybe because of the need of --trusted-cert option in my case ?)

In case it can help

For me it works using nmcli
nmcli c up "Name of the vpn connection" --ask
