Please help, I want to try double hop.

I am getting the same error as well on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed.

[greerd 5]

Hi corrado,

 

Qomui 0.8 will not download airvpn's data, system notification says that perhaps I'm using the wrong credentials and the log shows ' _{INFO - OpenVPN:Options error: --tls-crypt fails with '/usr/share/qomui/certs/tls-crypt.key': No such file or directory (errno=2)} ' which confirms that the keys aren't downloading.

 

I've retried this multiple times and am sure my credentials are correct. Also pia downloaded and works as expected.

 

This is on Mint 19.1 cinnamon after purging, cleaning, updating and reinstalling Qomui 0.8

 

Seasons Greetings!

 

 

[corrado 100]

Sorry same result as before

 

I'll install Debian Siduction and try to find out what's going wrong.

 

@kah0922&M3AtAirvpn&greerd: There is an issue with Airvpn auto-download at the moment, the new implementation had some hardcoded parameters that are simply not flexible enough (unfortunately I only have one account to test with). Thanks for letting me know & expect an update very soon!

Hello!

 

Please open a ticket and ask for some additional test account and other info, our support team will be glad to help.

 

Kind regards

[corrado 100]

Qomui 0.8.1 is out and it should fix the Airvpn auto-download feature. Here's the full changelog:

 

- [change] option to restart qomui-service from gui if it crashes
- [change] added exceptions for all DBus calls
- [change] improved support for non-systemd distributions
- [change] detecting and closing simultaneously running instances
- [bugfix] Airvpn auto-download fixed

 

Please open a ticket and ask for some additional test account and other info, our support team will be glad to help.

 

Thanks, a lot! I'll do that, this would really help :-)

 

@pjnsmb: I did a fresh install of Debian Siduction in a VM and could install Qomui without any issues. Only thing to be aware of: You have to choose a release that matches your Python version. The latest Ubuntu package worked fine for me. But this wouldn't explain the dpkg error you are getting. Maybe something's wrong with your dpkg configuration.

Linux Mint 18.3 Mate doesn't work either v 0.74 nor 0.81

If i install 0.81 directly i receive on cmd prompt similiar to 0.74.

 

IN ESSENCE your app doesn't work on my box

[corrado 100]

@win8: Since version 0.7.4 I have switched to OpenSuse Build Service to publish packages. Depending on the distribution, this may conflict with the previously released deb-packages. In essence, a clean upgrade may not be possible. To resolve this, please remove Qomui entirely first:

sudo apt purge qomui

Afterwards, you should be able to perform a clean installation of Qomui by using the deb-package or adding the repository. Linux Mint 18.3 is based on Ubuntu 16.04 to my knowledge, so make sure you choose the correct package.

[win8 7]

1. How hard can it be to download the right distri pack? Here: Packages for xUbuntu 16.04

2. My system was ofc clean. Nevertheless i did ...

$ sudo apt purge qomui

I've run into the same (or similar) in that when I uninstalled qomui, the  /usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/qomui/ directory was still there. Deleting the  /usr/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/qomu directory would work for me. The fresh install uses python3 instead I think or at least I have a /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/qomui directory.

Released version 0.8.2. This one changes quite a few things and finally includes the option which keys to use for Airvpn. Here's the full changelog:

• [new] added AzireVPN
• [new] option to specify key for Airvpn
• [change] fast/random option added to profiles
• [change] order of latency checks now based on previous results
• [change] tidied up directory structure
• [change] checks if ipv6 is available
• [change] auto-updates for different providers won't run concurrently
• [change] check if IPv6 is available before setting iptables rules
• [change] don't generate new WireGuard keys on auto-update
• [change] allow importing new servers if firewall is active but VPN is not
• [bugfix] firewall not deactivating after gui exit (if the respective option is set)
• [bugfix] detection of service crashes is not reliable
• [bugfix] Windscribe auto-update fails because of authentication error
• [bugfix] compatibility with older Qt5 versions
• [bugfix] previous iptables rules not always restored
• [bugfix] crashes if ipv6 stack not available
• [bugfix] OpenVPN config changes overwritten on update
• [bugfix] Debian packages remove /usr/share/qomui directory on update

Additional notes:

• Re-importing config files from supported providers is strongly recommended as they are now saved in a different location.
• If you are using Debian/Ubuntu packages Qomui must be removed (sudo apt purge qomui) and then installed again due to a bug in the postrm script.

 

@win8: This should solve your issue with an older version of PyQt. I'm sorry it took a while.

[rnd227 0]

Works. (DebIan Stretch, Xfce4)

[rnd227 0]

Question : what is the rule, with latency pings ? It seems to me that qomui only pings when not connected. Is that so ?

[persianhacker 2]

For those who want to install this on Raspbian (raspberry pie os ) (or armhf): 

first : 

sudo apt-get install  python3-setuptools python3-pyqt5 python3-dbus python3-dbus.mainloop.pyqt5 openvpn stunnel dnsutils net-tools dnsmasq geoip-bin geoip-database python3-psutil python3-requests python3-lxml python3-bs4 python3-pexpect python3-cryptography

 

then just in case:

 

pip install beautifulsoup4

pip install pexpect

pip install psutil

pip install requests

pip install lxml

 

then 

git clone https://github.com/corrad1nho/qomui.git

then

 

cd qomui

sudo python3 setup.py build

sudo python3 setup.py install 

 

after this hop option will fail so:

copy "script" folder contents to  installed folder (4 files including hope and hope_down)

in my case

sudo cp /scripts/*.sh /usr/share/qomui/

 

perform a restart (or not) and Open the app

Done

Hello, after last update, i can't make connect with hop server, like airvpn1->airvpn2, before was all good.

And second, after all updates, im need manually reinstall qomui, because if i update it, qomui crash and don't work.

A word of warning: The current v0.8.2 does work with Debian 9.7 but not with testing and sid. The dpkg-new not found thing occurs. It is very likely that the differences between the major versions are too big.

Can you please post your log, so I can see where it fails. Manual re-installations won't be necessary anymore with the next release (hopefully!)

 

A word of warning: The current v0.8.2 does work with Debian 9.7 but not with testing and sid. The dpkg-new not found thing occurs. It is very likely that the differences between the major versions are too big.

 

Thanks for the warning! I have only tested on Debian stable so far, and the package for Debian is built against this version. I'll look into it.

 

 

Question : what is the rule, with latency pings ? It seems to me that qomui only pings when not connected. Is that so ?

 

No, it'll actually ping when it detects a new Internet connection which is usually the case after you start Qomui. It'll also perform latency checks after a network change and once you add new servers.

Thanks for the great client. I'm using it on Ubuntu 18.04. Gnome and it's running pretty good with just one issue. 

Installed no problems. imported air files in a snap, connects super fast and I tested it for leaks with several tools available on the www and not a single leak - good job!

The app doesn't pick up the theme used on my system - arc dark 

 

Thanks

Same here.
