Hi, I’m currently testing AirVPN/Eddie on Fedora 44 with KDE Plasma/Wayland and SELinux enforcing. I have run into two issues that seem Fedora/Linux specific. The main problem concerns the option “Don’t ask elevation every run.” If this option is disabled, Eddie works normally: I enter my password once, Network Lock works, and the VPN connection is established without problems. If I enable “Don’t ask elevation every run”, Eddie installs/uses the persistent systemd elevated helper, but after reboot Network Lock fails and Eddie is unable to connect. I already added the recommended firewalld setting: NftablesTableOwner=no to: /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf and restarted firewalld. SELinux appears to be blocking the persistent elevated helper. Relevant AVC messages include: avc: denied { rename } for comm="eddie-cli-eleva" scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:net_conf_t:s0 tclass=lnk_file There are also denials involving cleanup of Eddie/systemd-resolved files: avc: denied { unlink } for comm="eddie-cli-eleva" scontext=system_u:system_r:init_t:s0 tclass=file and nftables is denied access to the Network Lock backup file: avc: denied { getattr } for comm="nft" path="/var/lib/eddie-vpn/state/netlock_nftables_backup.nft" scontext=system_u:system_r:iptables_t:s0 tclass=file The Eddie state directory currently has root-only permissions: /var/lib/eddie-vpn/state drwx------ root root The visible Eddie error is essentially: Could not open file: /var/lib/eddie-vpn/state/netlock_nftables_backup.nft Permission denied I also tested the experimental Eddie 2.27 branch/version, but the behavior was unchanged. As soon as I disable “Don’t ask elevation every run” again and use the normal password elevation method, the VPN and Network Lock work correctly. This makes it look like the persistent systemd helper does not currently integrate correctly with Fedora’s SELinux policy. There is also a separate issue with KDE/Plasma: Eddie's icon in the taskbar does not work as expected. The “Minimize to the system tray” option is enabled in Eddie's settings, but when minimized, Eddie remains in the taskbar and does not minimize to the system tray. My environment: Fedora 44 KDE Plasma / Wayland SELinux: Enforcing firewalld: enabled NftablesTableOwner=no I have intentionally omitted account information, VPN server names, IP addresses, hostnames and other identifying information. I can provide additional sanitized logs if needed. Thanks

I get the following error when I run eddie gui beta (eddie-ui-git 2.21.3-1 ) on kde plasma 5.24: Unexpected error.

The gui crashes and does not run.

SORRY! I DIDN'T SEE THE OTHER POST ON THIS PROBLEM BEFORE I POSTED THIS. Hi. This is my first post after over a year of successfully using Airvpn on many different versions of Linux and Windows without incident. Today I tried to install the Linux version of Eddie on two new KDE distributions, Mint and Netrunner. Both gave me a message that they "cannot satisfy dependencies." Have installed before on many different distributions, including KDE, with no problems. Am I missing something in the forums? Do I need to do something differently with new versions of KDE? I'm not a Linux expert, by the way, I just like to use it for certain activities. Thank you for a great product! Pete
