Fedora 25 - Eddie doesn't open anymore

[mkeja 0]

Some Fedora 25 update seems to have broken the Eddie client yesterday or today. Trying to open AirVPN client still opens up Beesu, but then nothing happens / it doesn't open. Wayland deactivated, was working without any issues before yesterday.

Unhandled Exception:

System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Windows.Forms.WindowsFormsSynchronizationContext' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'System.Windows.Forms.XplatUI' threw an exception. ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Could not open display (X-Server required. Check your DISPLAY environment variable)

 

This is the error I get when I try to open the AirVPN client from the Terminal (after typing in the root password in Beesu). Like I said, started happening around 2 days ago, on Fedora 25. Is this a problem on my end? How can I fix it?

I've just updated Fedora 25 and I get the same problem. Below is the relevant journalctl output:

Hello!

 

Have you all tried this Wayland fix? .

 

If that doesn't fix it, I suggest submitting some logs to the support team, so they can get working on it.

 

If you're using the Eddie client, you could also give the Beta client a run.
