I'm running 2.18.4 beta on Win7. The service to elevate privileges doesn't install, so I get a UAC prompt every time I log in (when Eddie loads). I'm also getting a UAC prompt when I tick the "Don't ask elevation every run" checkbox, but as far as I can see no service is being installed or run. Running "Eddie-CLI-Elevated.exe service-install" from an elevated command prompt returns no message, but also does not install a service.

Also, if I shut down or log out of Windows without manually closing Eddie, I receive the following error. Manually closing Eddie works fine.

Other than these side issues (and once I'd changed the profile data protection to Plain), everything is fine - cheers

Issues under investigation.
I confirm that service installation works on Windows 10 but not on Windows 7, it will be fixed in the next release if possibile. Thx.

Installing the sevice manually using

SC CREATE "Eddie Elevation Service" binpath= "C:\Program Files\AirVPN\Eddie-Service-Elevated.exe" start= auto

in an elevated command prompt works fine and seems to get rid of the problems, so hopefully this should be a simple installer issue rather than a compatibility one.

I think "Custom icons" and "elevated permissions version mismatch" are totally different problems.
Focus first on "version mismatch": Please confirm that you still have the error "elevated permissions version mismatch" even after a REBOOT. If so, what version you install? .dmg? Do you launch eddie from /Applications? Thanks.

The reason I think modifying the resources bundle (by changing a menubar icon) causes the elevated permissions failure is that I only get a startup crash AFTER I’ve swapped in a modified menubar icon. If I don’t change the icon I don’t have any problems. Also, I want to reemphasize that I did not have this problem with the previous version of Eddie. Running 2.17.2 I could change menubars and even add mulitple menubar versions to the resources bundle without any problem. That's why I think my current issue has to do with changes you made to the way permissions and/or code signing are handled.

To answer your questions, I’ve been running from a package installer version of Eddie, but the same thing happened with the portable tar.gz package. I’ve rebooted after installing and after making any changes, and I’ve tested with and without checking the elevated privileges checkbox. I've launched from /Applications.

Hi,

I'm on raspberry 3 with raspbian buster lite (without ui) and I'm using 2.18.4b eddie-ui -cli command line and syntax.

I run " sudo eddie-ui -cli -login=****** -password=****** -connect -netlock "

- the first time I've launched it after install, all worked pretty smooth.
- the second and next times I've launched it, it stucked after I press the "n" key on the "Server switch requested from keyboard" message.

You can see the whole verbose bellow.
By the way, the shutdown ends up with an error message, but I'm not sure it's linked to my "connection to server" issue.

Yes thx, i checked it, Eddie 2.18.4 use a syntax accepted by Win10 but not by Win7 (the space after the option-name...), it will be fixed in 2.18.5,
anyway the solution you write it's correct, thx.

The error "elevated version mismatch" occur (normally) when the launchd service point to an older version (es. 2.18.3) and a more UI version are launched (2.18.4).
So, seem like you have the "launchd" enabled, at least i hope that...
Advanced: the path (ProgramArguments) inside file /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.airvpn.eddie.ui.elevated.plist are the same location of the Eddie.app you launch?

Please try to disable launchd, in terminal:
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.airvpn.eddie.ui.elevated.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.airvpn.eddie.ui.elevated.plist
and after try to run your altered bundle, to understand if you still have the same error. Thanks,

OT: You can post here the resources you change? To understand if can be used in standard distribution. Thanks.

2.18.4 seems to be working fine for me, except for one small issue: the "start with system" option doesnt work at all - at least on the latest Windows 10.

Cannot reproduce. When you set the checkbox "Start with system",
1- in Task Manager -> Startup tab, Eddie are showed?
2- If you re-enter in Eddie Preferences, the checkbox is still checked?
Thx

You can write to us the output of

uname -m

on raspbian buster? thx.

p.s. if you don't have the UI, why you use "eddie-ui -cli" and not direct "eddie-cli" package? Just curiosity, it's equivalent (or need to be, bugs apart)

frnckdsrt

Hi, thank you for your feedback, I didn't know if I was doing something wrong !
uname -m outputs " armv61 "
About the choice of eddie-ui -cli over eddie-cli, the last one was my first attempt but I never succeed in making it an executable. I'm sorry I don't precisely remember the mess but I always was stuck with a "command not found" or something like that ... probably due to my limits on linux. eddie-ui was just found and run.

Same problem with Ubuntu 19.04. On trying to disconnect Eddie 2.18.4, the main window becomes unresponsive on odd occasions.
Can't find a reason. It seemed to happen more frequently with Eddie 2.18.3 only once with 2.18.4.
Will try and get more info if it happens again.

After several tries, I can now start Eddy 2.18.3. However, I can not activate Network Lock, I receive the following message:
Exception: Rules not loaded
Eddy starts all the same and I have to put my login password each time, he does not save the Remember option. Afterwards for the connection, I still have the message: Rules not loaded. I can connect but can not use Network Lock.

On Mac OS 10.14.6. Nothing change with Eddy 2.18.4. Like in 2.18.3, Network Lock dont work and I have the same message : "Rules not loaded".

Thanks, Clodo, for your diligence in trying to solve my problem. I appreciate all your effort.

I have tried all of your suggestions above and still get the same results. But I think I've narrowed the source of the problem to the Resource folder in Application/Contents. If I make ANY change to that folder (i.e., by substituting a menubar icon file, adding a file or even changing the name of an existing file) it triggers the elevated permissions mismatch error. I've found I can toggle the error by simply changing the spelling on one of the resource files--any file, it doesn't matter which one. If you try this, you should be able to reproduce the problem.

As I said early on, the previous beta version of Eddie (2.17.2) didn't do this, so it's something you changed in your new code that causes Eddie, on startup, to check the integrity of one or more files in the app bundle; when the check fails, it assumes it's an old version and throws the mismatch error. All of this happens before Eddie starts logging (as far as I can tell) so there isn't any log trace of what's going on.

Monotremata

Just checking in to say beta 4 is running great here on MacOS 10.14.6 since day 1. The way my OS is holding together lately Eddie is actually the one thing that always works hah. Been pretty trouble free so far, the new betas blow away the 2.17 one!

eddie still freezing
see picture......

zsam288

using 2.18.4beta

when using the scoring rule "speed" i seem to get the lowest latency server
when using the scoring rule "latency" i seem to get the server with a lower load but higher latency

this is the opposite behavior from the stable version?
one would think when selecting latency to get a server with the lowest latency?

Great news,
downloaded and installed yesterday. works like a charm.
I'm on opensuse leap 15.1 and previously had two main issues:
1. most often i was unable to properly exit the client
2. tray icon did not work
Both issues have apparently been addressed!
Thank you! I hope i'll be able to enjoy airvpn for long years to come

Not had it freeze on me again but the eddie small icon randomly disappears from the top right hand side of the "Activities" tool bar.
Otherwise - no problem.

Eddie is still freezing sometimes and I am trying to find out why.
It usually happens when I min and max Eddie.
I think it has something to do with the KDE plasma shell or Kwin?
Look in all log files and find this.

I also made an openSUSE 15.1 Gnome in VirtualBox for testing.

I think I've found something
Desk top effects seems to have been the cause.
I have set them to standard and now I can also see my start menu when Eddie-ui is active, before that was not possible.
Hope this was it ......
