Perfect, thank you for that ?! After a 'makepkg -si' the client seems to have been installed alright.

Nevertheless - unfortunately it won't launch, at least not for me using XFCE :confused:.

What's the output when running "sudo perfect-privacy-vpn" from the terminal?
 
First it was missing 'blinker', although 'python2-blinker' is installed. I additionally installed 'python-blinker', so now the output is:

Don't know what to do with that now.

Seems like the VPN manager is executed via python3 not python2, the shebang is supposed to be #!/usr/bin/python2 in
/opt/perfect_privacy/perfect-privacy-vpn/bin/perfect-privacy-vpn
Should normally be done by the PKGBUILD.
 
Changing the shebang did the trick ?!
Apart from missing status icons and that it won't minimize to tray, everything else seems to be working fine ?
 
I am using Manjaro 20.1 64-bit "Mikah" GNU/Linux on my late 2019 Computer Upgrade King Hewlett Packard Omen 15t gaming notebook PC. It says that python2-blinker is missing. This is my terminal output:

Code:

How do I fix this so it will build the package and install it? Thanks.

Perfect Privacy updated the VPN manager to python3. I've updated the PKGBUILD:

}
 
Thanks. I installed the Perfect-Privacy VPN Manager on Manjaro 20.1 64-bit "Mikah" GNU/Linux successfully, but it keeps saying that connecting failed whenever I try to connect to one of their VPN gateway servers. Can someone help me to get connected via their VPN Manager?

I found this information from this ProtonVPN installation guide for Arch to be helpful so that I could install the resolvconf software package to get the Perfect-Privacy VPN Manager to connect to a VPN gateway server: https://rawsec.ml/en/archlinux-How-to-use-ProtonVPN/

What did you exactly do to get it to work? I installed openvpn-update-systemd-resolved from the AUR, but that did not have any effect. I would really appreciate your answer
 
I too installed openvpn-update-systemd-resolved from the AUR and for me it allowed me to connect to different VPN gateway servers worldwide. I also installed openvpn-update-resolv-conf just in case. I had problems connecting to Perfect-Privacy VPN gateway servers without these necessary software packages installed.

Hello, it worked for me. I am on Manjaro and had to install some tools first via "sudo pacman -S base-devel". Then I have installed the packages from AUR "openvpn-update-resolv-conf-git" and "openvpn-update-systemd-resolved". Afterwards the VPN connection worked.

Thanks for the PKGBUILD 8vn5acnmf5!

But I am wondering why this is not on the arch AUR repo? I think more users would benefit if the script would be online. Would you mind to upload it there please?
 
I have set up a new arch system (Reborn) and again have the issue that the program won't launch. After running the PKGBUILD perfect-privacy shows up fine in the main menu, but it won't launch. I changed the shebang but that doesn't have any effect. I tried running it from the terminal ($ /bin/perfect-privacy-vpn) and get the following output:

Glad if anybody has an idea. It worked well on my prior arch system.

I guess the code of the VPN manager is not compatible with Python 3.9. I might look into it later
 
I installed Garuda 64-bit GNU/Linux which is also based on Arch 64-bit GNU/Linux and I copied the latest PKGBUILD code and ran makepkg -si. It seemed to have installed successfully, but VPN Manager does not open. Any updates?
 
Trying to run this binary from the terminal, I've received the following errors:

This is likely the reason that the app does not startup. Any ideas?
