ANSWERED Fedora 26 - cannot launch AirVPN client

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I recently upgraded to Fedora 26 (GNOME environment) and I'm encountering problems launching the AirVPN client. I've tried using versions 2.12.4 and 2.13.6 of the client but I get the same problem with both.

 

I did a little digging and found this forum post (https://airvpn.org/topic/20750-airvpn-not-working-with-fedora-25-wayland ) about a problem similar to mine, but it's about an earlier version of Fedora and the proposed solution doesn't solve my problem.

 

Basically the error message I get when I launch AirVPN in the terminal is this

 

    No protocol specified

I do have the package "xorg-x11" installed so the problem can't be the absence of an X Server. But I'm not an expert and I am completely out of ideas as to what could be wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

 

Thanks for the quick reply. I'd already tried that which is why I posted this in the first place. But then it occurred to me that I didn't restart my computer between the file edit and relaunching AirVPN the last time around. Now everything works fine, so it was the same problem and a shortsight on my part.

 

Thanks again and sorry for the inconvienience.
