I'm trying out Ubuntu's live cd and have booted in from a USB. I want to check if it will work with my VPN or not. I already have Network Manager installed, but when I go to Configure VPNs, I can only see PPTP as an option, while I need to add an OpenVPN type of VPN.
Following the instructions on my VPN's documentation I tried to install openvpn using this:
sudo apt-get install network-manager-openvpn
But I get the response:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package network-manager-openvpn is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'network-manager-openvpn' has no installation candidate
Any ideas what the issue is?
sudo apt-get update
. You'll need the "universe" repository to be enabled, check in Software Sources.
