Rebuilding the VPN client after a kernel upgrade

If you have used the up2date utility to install a new kernel image, the VPN client will no longer work. This is because the VPN client builds itself based on the current kernel your computer is using. To rebuild the VPN client, follow these steps:

• In a terminal window, run the following command:
  • rpm -qi vpnclient-linux

Rebuilding the VPN Client

• Newer versions of the VPN Client do not require a separate download.
• In a terminal window with superuser privilages, run the following commands:
  • cd /usr/src/vpnclient-linux-version-arch
    • Replace version and arch with the version number and architecture(ex: x86 for Intel 32 bit systems)
  • sh ub_vpn_uninstall
  • sh ub_vpn_install
• The VPN client will now be installed for your new kernel.
