2016-05-11 19:43:43 Tunnelblick[448] Warning: Unable to change permissions from 755 to 700 on /Users/USERNAME/Library/LaunchAgents
2016-05-11 19:43:43 Tunnelblick[448] open on /Users/USERNAME/Library/LaunchAgents/net.tunnelblick.tunnelblick.LaunchAtLogin.plist: Permission denied
ls -l ~ | grep 'Library' ; ls -l ~/Library | grep 'Launch'
(Change your username to "USERNAME".)
The output should look something like this:
drwx------@ 70 USERNAME staff 2380 Mar 21 10:20 Library
drwx------ 8 USERNAME admin 272 May 12 01:00 LaunchAgents
I've just installed TunnelBlick on a new Macbook Air. The VPN connection process works well with no difficulty.
However, I get the following error message when I start the TB application:
" Tunnelblick could not be configured to automatically launch itself after you log in. See the Console log for details. "
and, consequently, the TB icon is not maintained in the top menu bar in between boots.
The Console Log has the following key entries:
drwx------@ 55 USERNAME staff 1870 11 May 17:53 Library
drwxr-xr-x 3 root staff 102 10 May 16:47 LaunchAgents
ls -l ~/Library/LaunchAgents
That's right - I fixed the symptom by hand. I haven't heard further from Lastpass and didn't need to reinstall, so I don't know whether they fixed the problem in a subsequent release.
However, I would expect
that changing ownership manually would still work.
