Eddie Desktop 2.18beta released

[bob1324 1]

Win10 64 bit Pro. I had to delete the elevation service with command line SC DELETE EddieElevationService (as an administrator).
This removed the elevation service problem.
But now I get the message: Driver installation failed.
My apps show I have TAP-Windows 9.24.2.
I there a way to solve this problem?

[monstrocity 31]

I would uninstall everything Eddie related, including the Eddie program folder and the TAP driver.  Reboot and install Eddie 2.18.7 beta again; a fresh Eddie re-installation should take care of the newer TAP driver at the same time.  Just to be certain, make sure Secure Boot is turned off in UEFI.

After removing the daemon and re-enabling the Preference, Eddies now starts without prompting for a password to elevate privileges, as expected.  Might there be a way going forward to avoid the manual intervention of removing the prior iteration of the daemon as part of each upgrade?

You are right, we know the cause. No manual intervention will be required in future, this will be fixed before the next release. Thx.

I can't build AUR package eddie-ui-git 2.18.7-1. The problem seems to be in PKGBUILD:
 

34 "cd eddie-air" no such directory

Fixed, please retry. Thx.

First of all I'm not an expert about VPN-ish topics.

Looking at the logs I've noticed Eddie uses OpenVPN > library versions: OpenSSL 1.1.0l  10 Sep 2019 but here ( https://www.openssl.org/policies/releasestrat.html ) it is said that Versions 1.1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.0 and 0.9.8 are no longer supported and that since OpenSSL 1.1.0 is not an LTS release it will start receiving security fixes only and it will cease receiving all support in one years time (https://www.openssl.org/blog/blog/2018/09/11/release111/).

I am just curious to know if there is a particular reason to not update to the 1.1.1 branch.

Thanks

 

Previously we compiled ourselves OpenVPN, but for a problem (that I don't remember exactly now, sorry), for this release we bundled the same OpenVPN 2.4.8 you can find right now here: https://openvpn.net/community-downloads/ , OpenVPN Inc. linked against OpenSSL 1.1.0l.
As soon as possible we will return on this issue and try to compile with 1.1.1 branch.

Try stopping all processes starting with "eddie" via Task Manager before installing.

Can´t install the new beta on windows10. There´s some error with "evelation" during installation so that I can just abort the process. Anything I can do?

There was a bug in Windows Installer. We just fixed the current 2.18.7 Windows Installer to avoid this kind of issue for new beta users. Thanks to all for the report.

Do you still have this problem? "Driver installation failed" isn't related to the elevation service.

Running MacOS Mojave 12.14.6 on a 5,1 Mac Pro I finally got the Hummingbird option to work without crashing by cloning Eddie settings from my MacbookPro  (same operating system and Mojave version). However, after a couple hours this popped up on the menubar window tab display:  Hummingbird>ERROR:N_KEV_EXPIRE. Also, in the "Stats" tab I'm unable to update the pinger stats; double clicking does nothing. The server connection seems unaffected, however. I looked in the logs tab and saw a lot of Humminbird activity but nothing that looked weird.

I'm having the same error message (and some more) on Mojave with Hummingbird option activated within Eddie.

Edit: It seems incoming connections were blocked by Little Snitch. Once allowed I didn't have any new error messages for many hours. Edited ... by htpc

Please go to your "C:\Program Files\AirVPN" and manually launch tap-windows.exe. Maybe it will give you/us some more information about the problem, thanks.

I have added the log file.
I have tried Wireguard and have the strange feeling this gave the problems.
Maybe this helps.

MacOS:  Catalina (10.15.3)
Eddie:  2.18.7

After updating from 2.18.6 to the new 2.18.7 Eddie, I was prompted to enter my password for privilege elevation the next time I restarted Eddie.  This happened despite having the Preference set for installing the Launchd daemon (that box was still checked, as it had been in the prior betas).  I believe this happened when going from .5 to .6 as well, actually...apologies for not reporting then.

To resolve, I followed the instructions for MacOS in this part of the thread again:

Manjaro, multiple DE's
Eddie: 2.18.7

Since updating to 2.18.7 via AUR, I'm also being prompted to enter my password at boot.  I tried disabling and re-enabling the Systemd service, but the issue persists.

I also tried this, indeed had to give root rights to hummingbird binary.
Eddie does work, but the ui still has the problem that it is no longer readable, that is the old problem.
So work again via the console .....
openSUSE 15.1

I tested the latest version with openSUSE 15.1, i don't understand the issue. Please report details or screenshot about the "no longer readable" issue, thanks

What are you using?
Gnome or KDE?
I think it's a KDE thing.

This happens after minimizing screen and maximizing screen again.
 

KDE – Plasma 5.12.8

KDE-Frameworks 5.55.0

QT version 5.9.7

Kernel 4.12.14-lp151.28.36-default

You report Eddie log. Please go to your "C:\Program Files\AirVPN" and manually launch tap-windows.exe. It's not related to Eddie, it's the standard OpenVPN Windows Tun. Please report what kind of error is given back.
Maybe Wireguard causes some kind of conflict, but I don't really think that (I have Wireguard installed too). I need the tap-windows.exe feedback to help you.
Thanks

I'm investigating this. In the meantime, please try to disable Systemd service, close Eddie, restart Eddie and re-enable Systemd, close Eddie, finally restart to check if the elevation password is asked. Thanks.

We encounter this issue on some Ubuntu, bug fixed in 2.18.7 (latest version, some days ago).

Anyway i'm installing just now a OpenSUSE 15.1 with KDE Plasma to check your issue. Thx for your feedback.
Edit: cannot reproduce, I still think it is fixed in 2.18.7. Do you have the latest version? Thanks

Same issue here, running Arch Linux. Can you post complete instructions with regards to the service? It's not in the first post of this thread, nor the Eddie website, nor in the AUR package. Which makes it rather difficult if instructions are spread about in different threads, or posts.

Another thing I noticed are the frequent crashes, usually after running for one day Eddie crashes at some point without being able to reconnect. I'll try to post the error message next time it happens.

update to 2.18.7 and it is not solved with me.

strange that you don't have it, have already tried Tumbleweed and a fresh 15.1 installation, nothing helps?
maybe it has with the video driver, through the processor I have 4x Intel Core i3-4370
still have a Tumbleweed run via virtualbox on my windows computer, will look there again.
edit:okay, tested on windows / virtualbox / tumbleweed, same problem

note: it all started after the eddie 2.13.6 version, no problem with eddie before that.

just go through a terminal with Hummingbird for now

Thanks for your response.  I performed the actions you requested.  After re-enabling Systemd and restarting Eddie a second time, I'm still prompted for a password.  This is on Gnome.  I'll try it on a couple other DE's and if I get a different outcome, I'll note it here.

I don't have a link to the original instructions, but I saved them as a document for future reference.  Here they are:

Sorry I need to remove your instructions, because they are based on tests, not valid anymore and create only confusion.
The only and right method is by using Eddie Preferences checkbox. If it doesn't work, it will be fixed when we understand the issue, please have patience.

I have done a clean installation openSUSE 15.1, and now no problems with Eddie the 2nd day. However, if Eddie is active on your screen, my start menu does not work, it does minimize!
So Eddie does something strange.
Isn't it strange that things are going better now, have clean installations been done before?

3 times today:

Hummingbird > ERROR: KEV_NEGOTIATE_ERROR

Issues confirmed, thx, will be fixed in the next release.
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)

Hi, some months and two versions have been released since you told me the problem would be solved in the next realease and I'm always stucked with the same problem. 
Is there a particular reason ? Can I expect a resolution ?

Just replying to a semi random AirVPN Team post here to remind you that you all are on the right side of History.

This is important work you are doing, and it seems that you are working hard at it.

Respect.
