Ubuntu - Tunnel direct not found?

[adamcor 0]

I successfully installed Eddie on my Debian 16.04 VPS but unfortunately whenever I attempt to connect to a server I immediately get an error saying Tunnel direct not found and can’t be installed.

I’ve been looking online and can’t seem to find anyone else running into this problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hello,

 

Download a config file and try and connect to a server using openvpn directly. If you still have the same error, it means that the tun/tap driver has been disabled.

Then ask your VPS provider to activate it if possible as some do disable it for some reason.

You are correct. I messaged them and they did have the tun/tap driver disabled and have now enabled it. Unfortunately, I continued messing with Eddie and now the GUI won’t even come up for me. I’ve tried uninstalling it with sudo apt-get remove eddie-ui and then reinstalling it. But still nothing pops up. I’m getting close to doing a full os reinstall at this point.

Any ideas?

Type this in a terminal and post its output:

eddie-ui

Here is the output. I've actually went ahead and completely reinstalled my VPS with Debian 8 64bit and I'm having the exact same problem as Ubuntu. Seems like maybe it's trying to install a windows version instead of linux?

Weird, it can't find the X graphics server. Is it a headless server (meaning no GUI, just command line)? If so you need to download eddie-cli

I normally connect to my server via a VPN, with a desktop and everything haha. So I don’t believe it’s headless. Do I need to install something else for Eddie-cli though? Unfortunately apt-get install eddie-cli cannot locate any package.

Thanks for the help by the way!

[nick75 25]

Post the output of these commands:

echo $DISPLAY
env | grep XDG

Also the previous output shows that you're logged in as root, not a good idea. I don't know if it's related to your issue.

Most likely, Eddie was started from a root shell - this should never be done with a graphical application. Default configurations in most distributions block access to the X server for root users for security reasons. The accepted way for graphical applications to gain privileges (where this cannot be avoided) is via pkexec.

Tun is disabled in the kernel. Configure your own. https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/compiling-linux-kernel-26.html

 

I had the same problem. Enabling Tun fixed it.

 

You can do it all without root, beside:

 

sudo make modules_install

sudo make install

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

 

You don't have to do (at least not in MX Linux):

 

$ sudo grubby --set-default /boot/vmlinuz-4.20.12

$ sudo update-initramfs -c -k 4.20.12
$ sudo update-grub
