Hi! Thanks for all the comments and work on this bug. As someone who uses a VPN everyday to get my job done I can imagine how frustrating having this break would be. As far as the "fix", modifying the verbosity of a package may get you around the issue (i.e. a workaround), but I do not believe that is an actual fix for the issue.
I see mentions to versions from PPA, if you are installing from OpenVPN's PPA, then it means the issue is not even fixed upstream, therefore the first step here is to report this to OpenVPN. I did a quick search of the OpenVPN bug tracker and did not see any bugs reported with "authenticator", "google", or "tfa" in the summary of any bug (open or closed). Can someone, preferably someone using OpenVPN's PPA, who is seeing the issue please file a bug with them and report the number back here please? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576588 Title: google-authenticator with openvpn fails on 16.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bug/1576588/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
