Hi. I checked with the colorblind filter and it doesn't seem too bad. Feel free to suggest relevant Wordpress themes that might be easier to read and I'll consider them.

Interesting, (or rather, those bits I could easily read). I am afflicted with color blindness (protanopia to be precise). I use Konqueror browser (no idea if that is important), and a lot of your web page has display problems for me. I know that it is not your problem really, but it would be great if you could bear in mind color blind surfers whilst undertaking your next webpage re-working.

Certainly valid reasons not to join FB. I am not staring at you in disbelief
I decided for myself that FB is worth it just because it keeps me closer in touch with those friends, with whom I am not in close contact by other means. I don’t accept invites from mere colleagues, with whom I am not willing to share private information. But yes, I cannot share all my feelings on FB. Emails and Skype serve that purpose well for me. Data protection also worries me, and quite possible that I’ll abandon FB one day if this becomes a real problem.

I know. I hear you. Thanks again, though.

You just got lucky, that’s what I am saying. For example, I doubt Mikko follows this blog as closely as he does follow the forum.

Pretty big chance of success here. That was it. I had never had to use the askpass parameter in the .conf file before. Works like a charm now.

Thanks abo!

Mobile, please post this kind of questions on talk.maemo.org: you have a higher chance of success.

In this specific case, I guess you are missing the “askpass” keyword. Is that so?

I’ve installed both the OpenVPN package and the applet. I have a “road warrior” setup, using tls-client. When I try to load my OpenVPN I get:

: Error: private key password verification failed
: Exiting

I have password authentication on the client1.key file. The same OpenVPN config file, ca.crt, client1.crt, and client1.key works fine on a Mac, Windows, or Ubuntu mahine.

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

Great article! It gives exactly all the reasons why I will never have a facebook.com account either. Thanks Abo.

Thanks for the comment, however bug reports are best handled via https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=openvpn

This is especially true because I am not the developer of openvpn-applet and I am just the packager of openvpn (i.e., the space-related issue with the initscript might as well happen in Debian too)
