Duke VPN and Ubuntu 9.10

I had Duke VPN working on my laptop with Ubuntu Linux 9.04 but just
upgraded to 9.10 and can't get it to install. Errors. I can supply if
needed.
Anyone tried this? Support says it's not working for them, either.
I just subscribed to this list and can't figure out how to see previous
posts so sorry if this has already been asked.

This list has been fairly quiet for several months.
The Cisco VPN was oft discussed but never really solved.
Have you tried the Web VPN Beta ? : https://vpn.duke.edu/info.php

Good afternoon,

I remember some folks having trouble with the SSLVPN when going from
FF3.0.x to FF3.5.x. I think that Ubuntu 9.10 did that upgrade.

Try wiping out your /opt/cisco directory and letting the SSLVPN
reinstall itself

Hi Jimmy,
I tried the Web VPN and it wouldn't install, neither would a manual
install of the thin-client. Support reported the same issue.
Couple of other suggestions coming in I haven't tried yet.
It was working fine on 9.04 for me.
Thanks!

You are correct that it did upgrade FF to 3.5 so I'll try this later on.
Is the SSLVPN part of the Cisco package or is that a separate package I
will need to reinstall?

Sorry - I guess I don't know exactly what the SSLVPN you're refering to is.
I did get the web version of the Duke VPN to work on ubuntu 9.10 after
uninstalling everything java on my system and then reinstalling. As you
noted earlier it requires the Sun Java plugin in Firefox which somehow
got messed up in my upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 and all installation attempts
failed. Uninstalling java6-jre, java6-plugin, and java6-fonts and then
reinstalling solved that problem and now I can use the web VPN.

At some point I'll work on trying to get the Cisco Duke VPN working
again but at least I can connect via web version for now.

Anyone else with ideas about how to fix the Cisco version let me know.
thanks to all for your help.
r.

Here is a link that might help. http://cloudybits.com/4d -- I am not a bleeding edge adopter so I have not tried to to verify that it works.

Have you tried using the 'VPN Connections' in Network Manager or VPNC?

Robbie,

Just a quick note that both VPNs are Cisco products.

The older one that is referenced on the OIT page is a legacy system that
is planning to be phased out. The newer one, accessible by vpn.duke.edu
is a candidate that is being worked on as a replacement.
