Hello all, I upgraded from Opensuse Leap 42.1 to Opensuse Leap 42.2 and was unable to start the client. I was prompted for my root password when attempting to start up Eddie (either via icon shortcut or terminal) but it would never start. I figured from other posts who had similar issues after Fedora upgrades that I might try the experimental version of Eddie, and it worked. My questions are: 1) Is this an issue with Opensuse or the AirVPN client or both? 2) How can this be made better to allow for a smoother experience with Eddie stable after the next version upgrade of the distro? 3) What is needed for Eddie stable to work on Leap 42.2? Thanks a lot in advance

Upon discovery that AirVPN had a really good product offering, a n d a client that was available for OpenSUSE, I jumped at it! After taking Eddie for a run, I went for a year subscription. Then the little chap decided he didn't need to be on his best behaviour any longer. With three separate installations in this house, Eddie did the same thing, freezing the desktop, then upon reboot it was still running and defiantly refusing to allow changing of servers or to disconnect amid a flurry of popups that "Eddie was still running". Then on one machine, the OS would no longer boot into the desktop. Long story short, I fixed that by the skin of my teeth and immediately removed the Eddie client from all machines and went to Plan B, manual configuration. And that brings me to my suggestion: As good an idea that Eddie was and I liked the graphical information, I can live without it. AirVPN's service is awesome and they make importation of individual server, individual country or continental files easy. Nevertheless, setting up all these files in Networkmanager is a bit time consuming, doing it one file at a time. THE SUGGESTION: Could a macro not be devised that would install all these config files, modify them with DNS server settings and also input the password? My skill set doesn't include writing the code to accomplish this, but I figure if I can conceive of a tool, some clever lad somewhere could create a plugin to do this, right? For AirVPN to offer such a tool that tightly integrates with a Network Manager that is common to a great many distros would have significant value to the Linux community. At the very outside this would be an half hour's work, forty five minutes tops, right? Otherwise, given these symptoms, has anyone had a similar experience or a suggestion how I might be able to salvage using the Eddie client?
