Unable to connect wIth ks --on (Manjaro)

[petrpajdla]

I have an issue with connecting after enabling kill switch (with kill switch off everything works just fine) on Manjaro.

This seems to be related with #12 ?

Can you try the provided solution ?

[petrpajdla]

I followed the instructions in https://github.com/ProtonVPN/linux-app/issues/12#issuecomment-876213262 if this is what you mean, but it did not solve the hang after kill switch is enabled.

The problem is both in the CLI and GUI...

[calexandru2018]

So this only happens when you have the KS enabled ?

[petrpajdla]

Yes, only with kill switch enabled, both in GUI app (hangs) and CLI (returns an error message copied in the first post).

you may need to allow notifications from nm-applet. See my comment on #12

where u able to fix the killswitch hang?

[petrpajdla]

Did a fresh reinstall due to #62, this issue still persists.

@foxfriday nm-applet is run without any flags, so with notifications enabled if I understand it correctly.

I too am having this issue after the latest update on one of my three machines running manjaro. Two are kde, the other gnome. The one kde machine having this issue also doesn't display the tray icon, though I don't see why this would have any relation to ks hang whether "on" or "permanent".

[calexandru2018]

Hey all, I'm happy to announce that this issue has been fixed with the latest release of the library. Please update to the latest version.
