Arch Linux User Repository

I've added https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent-bin as optional dependency, I worked on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent a bit to build it from source, but I have a weird issue with it so I'm not depending this package on that by default for now.

For those who know a bit about rust packaging, the issue with building from source for me is: - If I copy the build so file using cp command it works fine - If I package it (using install in PKGBUILD) and put the file there by installing the package using pacman, It doesn't work! although the files have the same checksum.

I have no idea why is that and am open to any help on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent package

@shoryuken thank you, that worked!

@ali.molaei I'm not sure of technicalities of dependencies, but if you cannot force network-manager-applet as a dependency I think you should at least pin some comment explaining that getting it might fix issues. As it stands I accidentally found the solution at other package page https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/protonvpn-cli#comment-951908, and only since it's the newest one.

Does not make a desktop shortcut for this application automatically. So made it myself. Thank you for your work.

In my particular case it seemed to be a clash actually with Gnome keyring - I posted what solved mine below my issue.

I've removed checksums for git as it seems pamac (and maybe other helpers except for paru) have problems with it (I've got some reports via email as well as @danievdm here)

@674834 I don't know what your problem is caused by, is anybody else have the same problem?

With latest update, I started getting this error. I tried removing the app first and cleaning caches, but still gives the error when trying to build:

SOLUTION: Seems some conflict with gnome-keyring running in background so this solved teh above issue:

sudo chmod -x /usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon
sudo killall gnome-keyring-daemon

Getting the following error:

UPDATE: follow-up to my previous comment... Dependence was not needed; older installation, can't remember version number sorry!

python-shiboken2

Just heads up, tried all cache removals, via

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman/Tips_and_tricks & https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/pacman

I had to manually remove these dependencies from the system & re-install them from scratch; this after the full cache clean-up.

python-proton-core python-proton-keyring-linux python-proton-keyring-linux-secretservice python-proton-vpn-api-core python-proton-vpn-connection python-proton-vpn-killswitch python-proton-vpn-killswitch-network-manager python-proton-vpn-logger python-proton-vpn-network-manager python-proton-vpn-network-manager-openvpn python-proton-vpn-session python-shiboken2

Probably missed a step here or there, but hope it helps. Working now!

@pathief thanks the tricks works

@cherkaba I had the same problem. I uninstalled everything with yay -Rs proton-vpn-gtk-app and re-installed it again with clean build and it worked.

I tried installing the python-proton-vpn-logger and python-importlib-metadata, which didn't do anything by themselves but might have have impacted something after re-installing everything with clean build.

After updating to python 3.12 you'll need to rebuild all the packages again so it opens again, If you are in hurry, try cleaning paru/yay cache or do a cleanbuild yourself, But I'll publish at least a -2 update for all the packages so everyone is building them again automatically, and I'll try to apply the changes suggested to the PKGBUILDs as well. ;)
