I'm trying to connect to my universities VPN on Ubuntu.



Here is their online guide - Off Campus | University of Stirling



Going by the Mac installation guide, it states:



"VPN Type: L2TP over IPsec" .. so I've run sudo apt-get install network-manager-l2tp-gnome, restarted Ubuntu and now I have the option to create a Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) connection.



I've entered the gateway and username as they instruct. As they also request "over IPsec" I've checked the box, IPsec Settings... > "Enable IPsec tunnel to L2TP host", I've also entered "secret" in the Pre shared key box. By the way, I also tried to connect prior to setting these but it didn't work, and doesn't work now I've entered them either.



Here is the log from sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog:

  • To confirm it's not a routing issue, please add your routing table (ip r) to the question.

  • Hi. OK, I've added the output of that command.

  • I think your basic problem is to do ipsec through a NAT router, which afaik is somewhere between too hard and impossible.

I'm trying to connect to my universities VPN on Ubuntu.



Here is their online guide - Off Campus | University of Stirling



Going by the Mac installation guide, it states:



"VPN Type: L2TP over IPsec" .. so I've run sudo apt-get install network-manager-l2tp-gnome, restarted Ubuntu and now I have the option to create a Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) connection.



I've entered the gateway and username as they instruct. As they also request "over IPsec" I've checked the box, IPsec Settings... > "Enable IPsec tunnel to L2TP host", I've also entered "secret" in the Pre shared key box. By the way, I also tried to connect prior to setting these but it didn't work, and doesn't work now I've entered them either.



Here is the log from sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog:

  • To confirm it's not a routing issue, please add your routing table (ip r) to the question.

  • Hi. OK, I've added the output of that command.

  • I think your basic problem is to do ipsec through a NAT router, which afaik is somewhere between too hard and impossible.

I'm trying to connect to my universities VPN on Ubuntu.



Here is their online guide - Off Campus | University of Stirling



Going by the Mac installation guide, it states:



"VPN Type: L2TP over IPsec" .. so I've run sudo apt-get install network-manager-l2tp-gnome, restarted Ubuntu and now I have the option to create a Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) connection.



I've entered the gateway and username as they instruct. As they also request "over IPsec" I've checked the box, IPsec Settings... > "Enable IPsec tunnel to L2TP host", I've also entered "secret" in the Pre shared key box. By the way, I also tried to connect prior to setting these but it didn't work, and doesn't work now I've entered them either.



Here is the log from sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog:

Entries order in /etc/network/interfaces

4 I have a device with two interfaces, eth0 and eth1. One should get its IP from a DHCP server and the other should get its IP statically. If my /etc/network/interfaces file is configured as follows: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp iface eth1 inet6 auto auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 Everything works great, eth1 gets its IP from the DHCP server, eth0 sets its IP statically from the information given, but if I try to change the order in the file, such as auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 10.10.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp iface eth1 inet6 auto In this case, eth1 fails to get an IP.

Grub takes very long (several minutes) to open Menu (in Multi-Boot-System)

Image
0 I have a Multi-Boot-System with 4 different installations of Linux. (1 Manjaro, 3 Mint) spread over 2 hard drives (2 on each). After doing grub-install /dev/sdX and update-grub several times within each installation ... the Grub-menu needs more and more time to open. It started with a few more seconds, now it takes several minutes. I tried to purge and reinstall Grub but this made the problem even worse: apt-get purge grub grub-pc grub-common apt-get install grub-common grub-pc os-prober update-grub What could be causing this problem? linux grub2 multiboot share | improve this question edited 4 mins ago ...
