Hello!

 

Are you using wayland? Eddie doesn't work with it yet. I assume you're also using the beta:).

I was able to get it working on Fedora 25. LZ1 was correct, once I disabled wayland I was able to get it working. I disabled it by editing /etc/gdm/custom.conf. Thanks for the help LZ1

By the way, just for reference, you need to be using the Beta client, not the current 2.10 Stable client, when using Linux . Details in my signature if you don't know where to find it.

Hello!

 

We remind you that Eddie is currently incompatible with Wayland: momentarily please fall back to X11. Compatibility with Wayland has been planned with Eddie 3.

 

Kind regards

Temporary workaround for Ubuntu 17.10 (until the next Eddie version is released)

- Install Debian package
- edit /usr/bin/airvpn
from terminal:

xhost +local: && sudo gedit /usr/bin/airvpn
- Replace the line
mono /usr/lib/AirVPN/AirVPN.exe --path=$HOME/.airvpn "$@"
with
xhost +local: && pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY mono /usr/lib/AirVPN/AirVPN.exe --path=$HOME/.airvpn "$@"
- Launch normally by double-clicking AirVPN icon.

Thanks for this fix!! It should probably be stickied in the Eddie section.

This fix worked for me, too. Fresh install of 17.10 on brand new gamer.

ost +local: && pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY mono /usr/lib/AirVPN/AirVPN.exe --path=$HOME/.airvpn "$@"

 

A minor thing, but it would be a bit more secure to restrict access to your X session to root and limit access duration. Something like:

xhost si:localuser:root && pkexec ... "$@"; xhost -si:localuser:root

This way we remove access as soon as pkexec is done launching AirVPN.exe.

 

And if you're running Fedora 26+ (haven't checked with earlier releases), there's no need to disable Wayland. There's a parallel XWayland session spawned to support programs that use X: Chrome, Firefox, Eddie, etc. No need to touch any config files.

 

Cheers!

IThe above fix worked for awhile, but now, Eddie doesn't seem to connect to any server, it's stuck in a endless loop of reconnects. After unuinstall and reinstall of Eddie  the edit of xhost file via terminal gives a warning of Set document metadata failed: Setting attribute metadata::gedit encoding not supported

 I'm at a loss and at a loss of work.

I could not get it to  work with 17.10. I did all the above and  It was working , I saved it,  used it but it then disappeared when it was closed . I was unable to put the new air setting on the icon bar.The original icon is still there on the icon bar, but does nothing.

xhost +local: && sudo gedit /usr/bin/airvpn
- Replace the line

mono /usr/lib/AirVPN/AirVPN.exe --path=$HOME/.airvpn "$@"
with

xhost +local: && pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY mono /usr/lib/AirVPN/AirVPN.exe --path=$HOME/.airvpn "$@"
- Launch normally by double-clicking AirVPN icon.

Terminal says "non-network local connections being added to access control list" and its stuck there ... Can you explain how to proceed.

Temporary workaround for Ubuntu 17.10 (until the next Eddie version is released)

 

- Install Debian package

- edit /usr/bin/airvpn

from terminal:

xhost +local: && sudo gedit /usr/bin/airvpn
- Replace the line

mono /usr/lib/AirVPN/AirVPN.exe --path=$HOME/.airvpn "$@"
with

xhost +local: && pkexec env DISPLAY=$DISPLAY XAUTHORITY=$XAUTHORITY mono /usr/lib/AirVPN/AirVPN.exe --path=$HOME/.airvpn "$@"
- Launch normally by double-clicking AirVPN icon.

 

Working for me on PureOS! I had the issue, that after starting eddie and entering the password nothing happened. Now it works fine. However, problem still exists with the portable client.

I found another solution to get eddie working with wayland(fedora 28).

I added the following line to the sudoers file.

 

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:/bin/eddie-ui

Is this problem still being worked on? My workaround does it's job, however, I have to write "xhost +local: && sudo gedit /usr/bin/eddie-ui" in the terminal after every reboot, in order for eddie to being able to start. What is more, after I did this, I only have internet connection when eddie is running. If I quit it, I have to either reboot or start eddie again. Is this something airvpn can fix or should I contact purism (to fix in pureOS)?

Hello!

Eddie 2.16.3 (latest stable release) should not call anymore any Wayland incompatible process, can you please test this version?

 

Kind regards

With 2.16.3 I still have the same problem. Before, I was on version 2.17.2. Do you have any idea what I can do? Please let me know, if I can provide more information.

Ideally, no graphic apps should run as root, which is why Wayland blocks GUI apps from running as root.
