CiscoVPN and sound issues have upgrade to 11.2

#1

I upgraded my thinkpad t61p from 11 to 11.2 and have two major problems.

  1. CiscoVPN won’t compile, I get a linuxcniapi.c:455: error: ‘struct sk_buff’ errors.

  2. I have no audio, no video play back. reinstalled mplayer and mplayer plugin.

Help

Not replying on the audio thing since this is very dependant on
kde/gnome

I tried kvpnc and it connects but won’t let me connect.

If you’re using the proprietary vpnclient on x64, here’s what I did to get it working:

  1. downloaded the app from [projects.tuxx-home.at]](http://projects.tuxx-home.at/?id=cisco_vpn_client) (check the links on teh left side for downloads)

  2. grab the 4.8.02-64bit patch from teh same site

  3. grab the patch from this site: Ilap’s tech: Cisco VPN Client on Karmic Koala (it’s for ubuntu, I know, but they use 2.6.31 too)

  4. unpack the .tar.gz from step 1

  5. cd vpnclient/

  6. patch < …/vpnclient-linux-4.8.02-64bit.patch

  7. patch < …/cisco-vpnclient.2.6.31.diff

  8. sudo ./vpn_install

(I did all of this after installing teh ATi drivers, so I had kernel-headers and kernel-source already)

Hi there,

I had the issue with Cisco vpnclient not working on the new Suse 2.6.31 kernel and used a similar patch procedure as that given above, but I used: How to install Cisco VPN client on Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope and Karmic Koala 64 bit | L.A.M.N.K, adding the patch for newer kernels and it there after compiled fine. Please see that thread though as you may also have to change a line in the kernel source too, not just patch the vpn client. I summarized the steps I used on my wiki at Cisco VPN Configuration - Lyceum

The sed command to modify the kernel soure I used (which I got from LAMNK) and other steps were:

cd vpnclient
wget http://lamnk.com/download/vpnclient-linux-2.6.31-final.diff
vim vpnclient-linux-2.6.31-final.diff
patch < ./vpnclient-linux-2.6.31-final.diff
sudo sed -i 's/const\ struct\ net_device_ops\ \*netdev_ops;/struct\ net_device_ops\ \*netdev_ops;/' `find /usr/src -name netdevice.h`
./vpn_install
/etc/init.d/vpnclient_init start

You should just add the 64 bit patch too, and you should then be able to rebuild the module - - make sure you run ./vpn_install for it to correctly rebuild it for you.

Cheers,
Lews Therin

I recommend you sort your sound problem in a different thread. Please advise output of the 3 sound tests (2 speaker and one from alsa web site): SDB:AudioTroubleshooting - openSUSE
