Using AT&T Network Client VPN with Ubuntu 64bit

Hi Diana, I've had the same problem you did. I could solve it by installing agnclient-compat (downloaded from the same place where agnclient). I did the following (as root) # dpkg -r agnclient (to remove the failed installation of the client) # dpkg -i --force-architecture agnclient-compat_1.0-5-ocdc1_i386.deb # dpkg -i --force-architecture agnclient_1.0~2.0.1.3003-8_i386.deb You migh notice I didn't linked the libraries, actually I did that when I first attempted the failed installation of the client, so for a clean install: -Download and install the ia32 libraries -Install agnclient-compat -Install agnclient -Link the libraries mentioned above Hope this does the trick

Thanks! This worked great for me! Exactly what I needed.

This did not work like a charm for me. Used --force-architecture flag and got the following Errors were encountered while processing: agnclient:i386 found that these libraries were missing for a view items in /opt/agns/bin libagnLogc.so.1 => not found libagnc.so.1 => not found Anybody know how to resolve these?

This just ended a two day tail chasing session. I had reverted 32 bit and still had some issues when I found your post. Clean install of 64 bit and your directions were flawless. THANK YOU!!

Thanks very much. Exactly what I needed.

Great. Since this, I've switched to using 32 bit Ubuntu anyway (try it with the PAE patch for >3GB memory support), but glad it helped.

Worked for me too. Hooray! =D I was beginning to worry that I'd have to do all of my development in Microsoft Windows...

very very help full. Work like a charm.

This worked great for me. Thanks!

..but i am very interested in your ATT solution, i tried to use Netclient earlier but never got the VPN part really to work. i thought back then i learned that the VPN tunnel service isn't supported ? do you have any comments or experiance on this ? (i am speaking of the IGS specific protocoll ?)

mh ... i am running Karmic Koala on my T61p and it does so like a charm ...i was even able to boot it from an Dell XPS1520 image ?

Incidentally, I should add that I use Ubuntu on both my desktop at home and at work - so I bear it no grudge - it's just that my Thinkpad - being as I use it as my main workstation - has more 'exotic' requirements.

Thanks for the link. I did investigate that option but it seemed more awkward than the ia32-libs option. To be honest, though, I gave up on the whole plan of installing Ubuntu on my Thinkpad shortly after I wrote this. There were just too many stumbling blocks. I was preparing to trade down to 32bit Ubuntu (since I discovered I can recompile the kernel to address all 4GB), but even then there was too much pain: font rendering in Notes, Sametime, etc. sucks, lack of power profiles, switching displays is a pain, lack of support for my scanner, etc. It's a shame as I think Canonical have done a lot in 8.10 to get it working well out-of-the-box (e.g. the Vodafone 3G card worked astonishingly well, far better than on Windows, where it's truly awful), but in the end it was just too much of a time investment - and I have work to do, so back to Windows I went!

If you plan on installing Lotus Notes on this box you might as well start learning about schroot to install it all under, the <a href="http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id292486" rel="nofollow">debian amd64 howto</a> is a good resource, as Notes is very hard to get working with ia32-libs. The other problem with the ia32-libs approach is none of your forced packages will ever get updated. This is fine if it is one or two, but once you start having to install various dependencies and libraries, it leaves your system more likely to be hit by a vulnerability
