After updating to python 3.12 you'll need to rebuild all the packages again so it opens again, If you are in hurry, try cleaning paru/yay cache or do a cleanbuild yourself, But I'll publish at least a -2 update for all the packages so everyone is building them again automatically, and I'll try to apply the changes suggested to the PKGBUILDs as well. ;)

@shoryuken thank you, that worked!

@ali.molaei I'm not sure of technicalities of dependencies, but if you cannot force network-manager-applet as a dependency I think you should at least pin some comment explaining that getting it might fix issues. As it stands I accidentally found the solution at other package page https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/protonvpn-cli#comment-951908, and only since it's the newest one.

@pathief thanks the tricks works

@cherkaba I had the same problem. I uninstalled everything with yay -Rs proton-vpn-gtk-app and re-installed it again with clean build and it worked.

I tried installing the python-proton-vpn-logger and python-importlib-metadata, which didn't do anything by themselves but might have have impacted something after re-installing everything with clean build.

@Musikolo is not an issue with python-importlib-metadata pkg coze it has already been installed since the 1st install!!

'' I hope it works! ''

do you have any solutions?

@Musikolo It was / is already installed. (5.1.0-2)

FWIW, IDK if this matters, but along with Python 3.12, a ton of other Python packages were updated but this was not one of them.

There is a python-importlib_resources packages that is not installed. Again, IDK if that matters.

@melioratio, my guess is that the python-importlib-metadata package is needed. Please install it to see if that works. In such a case, it should be added as dependency to the PKGBUILD file.

I hope it works!

Regards.

Updated to python 3.12 just now and it busted PVPN, I'm guessing because it's still looking for 3.11.

i had the same problem but i resolved it. i had killswitch enabled so that caused an additional issue. i had to let it enabled and open protonvpn.

Sorry, looks like paru was only updating the proton-vpn-gtk-app package and not its dependencies. Clearing the cache and reinstalling the app worked.

@5hayanB How are you installing/updating your packages? Shouldn't the logger package be installed/updated automatically? You need to update all the dependencies of this package to fix the issues you are facing I think
