Hummingbird randomly stopped working

[6gh54F4 0]

Hi, turn on my computer today (Arch linux) and hummingbird no longer works.
I tried running: /usr/local/bin/hummingbird --recover-network

and got this result:

"It seems this program has properly exited in its last run and

it has already restored network settings on exit.

 

ERROR: Backup copy of resolv.conf not found.

ERROR: Backup copy of network filter not found."

If I run systemctl status I get the following:
"Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2020-06-17 10:06:01 AEST; 6min ago

Process: 1582 ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/hummingbird /home/bob/.local/bin/profiles/AirVPN_Austria_UDP-443.ovpn (code=exited, status=1/>

Main PID: 1582 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

 

Jun 17 10:06:01 manjaro systemd[1]: vpn.service: Scheduled restart job, restart counter is at 5.

Jun 17 10:06:01 manjaro systemd[1]: Stopped AirVPN Client (hummingbird).

Jun 17 10:06:01 manjaro systemd[1]: vpn.service: Start request repeated too quickly.

Jun 17 10:06:01 manjaro systemd[1]: vpn.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Jun 17 10:06:01 manjaro systemd[1]: Failed to start AirVPN Client (hummingbird)."

I've tried updating Hummingbird, I changed config files, reset systemd files.... nothing works

Hello.
A very similar thing happens to me from time to time (normally after I suspend system to ram).
You can try to call hummingbird manually instead of using the systemd unit (easier to check logs) or use "journalctl -u vpn" and push G to go to the last lines.
What I get is a very short log with a "core dumped" line.

Anyway, in my case what I need to do is restart (preferably with the systemd unit disabled) and call "hummingbird --recover-network".

After that I normally start it manually to check that it works again.

You can also enable back your systemd unit for future restarts.

Hello!

It's very important to point out that Hummingbird is a process running in the userspace of a superuser. It is not designed to be a service. A real daemon is being developed and you will hear news soon.

That said, we need additional information, and specifically:
- what dependencies have been declared and their level
- when Hummingbird is started (in particular before or after the network layer)
- how and when systemd unit launches the service (we guess it's defined as a service and not as a target)

About the core dump, please feel free to send us a bt (in a ticket or attached to an e-mail to support@airvpn.org ). Did you notice any change after some Arch update?

Kind regards

Good to know, anyway I've been using a systemd unit to start it out at boot with no issues so far (except for sometimes not working after suspend). My unit looks as follows:

[Unit]
Description = AirVPN Client (hummingbird)
Wants = network-online.target
After = network-online.target

[Service]
ExecStart = /usr/bin/hummingbird /root/AirVPN/hvpn-init.ovpn
Restart = always

[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target

I'm running Arch linux, for his post I would say the OP runs manjaro (based on arch).

I'll try to send you the backtrace, thanks.

Yep exactly the same as Eburom. Happened after suspend.

My systemd file is the same as above.

Hello!

When you enter suspension state systemd sends SIGHUP to processes.Hummingbird reacts with "restart connection" when it receives SIGHUP. Core dump is unexpected and under investigation.

@eburom

The systemd unit is formally correct.

Kind regards
