Update 2010-08-26: You can now install with this patch applied. It’s all the old patches combined. cd vpnclient/setup/directory/ wget http://www.lamnk.com/download/fixes.patch patch < ./fixes.patch sudo ./vpn_install This patch is tested on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx 10.04 LTS on 32bit and 64bit. Old post: Cisco module again doesn’t let us compile against the new kernel in Ubuntu 9.04 [...]
Sometimes (even with new machines) there are problems at the client’s installation, for example: Error 27848: Deterministic Network Enhancer installation requires a reboot first, to free locked resources. After that the installation process is rewinded back and canceled. To fix it, open the command prompt as administrator (Right click on cmd then choose Run as [...]
It’s annoying as hell ! Not only we need to patch to use Cisco client on 64 bit systems, recently i find out Cisco don’t support SMP (multi core) in its VPN client. It means after you load the cisco module, there’s a big chance you will run into a kernel panic: oops, the whole [...]
UPDATE: A new client for linux (4.8.02.0030) is out. You no longer need the patch for 2.6.24+ kernel (vpnclient-linux-2.6.24-final.diff). However the patch for 64 bit systems is still required and the CFLAGS variable in Makefile still need to be changed to EXTRA_CFLAGS. June 26 2009: This post also applies to Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope 9.04 (more [...]
On some systems there is this problem with Cisco VPN service: cvpnd.exe must be excuted before you run the ipsecdialer.exe ( the GUI for the client ). But even if you start the service per hand in services.msc, it got killed in a few seconds after thus you can not run the client. Update: thanks [...]

Errm … with a patch. Cisco hasn’t released a new version for Linux yet. Quick guide: ( I assume you knew all the requirements to install the Cisco client ) Go to the extracted vpn directory wget http://tuxx-home.at/projects/cisco-vpnclient/cisco_skbuff_offset.patch patch < cisco_skbuff_offset.patch sudo ./vpn_install That’s it.
The error: “Secure VPN connection terminated locally by the Client. Reason 412: The remote peer is no longer responding” means the software VPN Client detected that the VPN server is not responding anymore and deleted the connection. This is caused by several different reasons, for example: The user is behind a firewall that is blocking [...]

Everyone has dealed with Cisco VPN Client on Vista probably knows the notorious Error 442 – Failed to enable virtual adapter. AFAIK this is a bug from Cisco that stays unfixed for at least 5 months (from the version 5.0.00.0340 released on May 2007 until now). Whether it is Cisco or Microsoft to point the [...]
Update: as i guessed, this appears to be a bug from revision 4.8.00.0640, the older 0490 works just fine on my Ubuntu 64 bit (with the patch of course) Just got the new openSUSE 10.3 on my work PC with 64 bit kernel set up and like i expected, there are errors during compiling the [...]
