Unhandled Exception

[Jellobiafra 0]

Hello,

 

I'm on a OpenSuse 13:2 and downloaded and installed the AirVPN Client rpm without a problem.

But when i want to start it in a shell i get the following error

 

me@office:~> airvpn

Unhandled Exception:

To be honest i don't know what it means and what i have to do.

Try this:

 

 

OpenSuse 13.2: If client doesn't start, try this fix from command-line (it's a libgdiplus package bug):

 

ln -s /usr/lib64/libgdiplus.so.0 /usr/lib64/libgdiplus.so

 

Found in Air's openSUSE thread

Thank you for the answer. The same thing happened to me after upgrading to Fedora 23.
