Pinephone64 Mobian openvpn setup - Harry27 - 04-26-2021
I subscribe to a VPN service that supports openvpn. (pinephone64 CE Mobian & linux novice)
A search using "Software" 3.38.1 pointed me to GADMIN-OPENVPN-Client. I clicked "Install", and under the "software" app, it is marked as "installed." Its icon shows on my home screen. Clicking the icon goes to Terminal's request that to "execute /ser/sbin/gadmin-openvpn-client requies root privileges" (using -su). But upon entering root password, the phone returns to the home screen with no apparent action; pressing the icon returns to an open Terminal screen, asking again for the root password. Entry of the correct root password produces "su: Authentication failure" loop.
Suggestions?
