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:

    tar -xf data.tar.xz -C "${pkgdir}"
    
    # not needed
    rm -rf "${pkgdir}/etc"
    
    # fix polkit policy

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?
