Apparently, networkmanager had to be installed and enabled/started. If so, it should be a dependency, its absence shouldn't crash the app, and an explicit error message would be nice :)
Now I have an authentication problem:
2024-01-13T18:36:31.709247 | proton.vpn.app.gtk.widgets.main.exception_handler:163 | ERROR | APP:ERROR | Reconnection not possible due to authentication error.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python3.11/site-packages/proton/vpn/app/gtk/services/reconnector/reconnector.py", line 142, in _raise_reconnection_error
raise AuthenticationError("Reconnection not possible due to authentication error.")
proton.vpn.connection.exceptions.AuthenticationError: Reconnection not possible due to authentication error.

I've added
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent-bin
as optional dependency, I worked onhttps://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent
a bit to build it from source, but I have a weird issue with it so I'm not depending this package on that by default for now.For those who know a bit about rust packaging, the issue with building from source for me is: - If I copy the build
so
file usingcp
command it works fine - If I package it (usinginstall
in PKGBUILD) and put the file there by installing the package using pacman, It doesn't work! although the files have the same checksum.I have no idea why is that and am open to any help on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-proton-vpn-local-agent package

@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.
