I made changes to the package to not use the .install script, that created files, which were not tracked by package manager.

In order to upgrade, you can either:

  • remove surfshark-client and all the left-over files, that were created by https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/surfshark-client.install?h=surfshark-client&id=cafd6cd8000159ce32b45ab77125ff07060b97d8, that are not cleaned up properly (/usr/lib/systemd/user/surfsharkd.service, /usr/lib/systemd/system/surfsharkd2.service). Surprisingly, removing the package should properly remove /usr/bin/surfshark. Then install again
  • Or, you can install with ignoring the file conflicts (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Troubleshooting)

In my case, with version 2.4.1, the client would retry connecting to my selected server 3–4 times. It'd then show me prompt for KDE wallet password (KDE Plasma). Perhaps it had to reconfigure the connections created from older versions, as afterward connecting to any servers would work immediately.

I have the same issue as lcdss reports with the 2.3.5 version of SUrfshark-client.

Anyone having issues to connect after updating to version 2.3.5? I can't connect to any server and the GUI gives me the error:

Error invoking remote method 'connect': Error:
Error: Failed to activate connection! Activating
connection Failed! Add the wg connection first.
Cause: unset

So it means that my pipeline to automate the update is not working. I will have to change that. Meanwhile I updated manually

Hi. It's showing 404. The app has been updated but the PKGBUILD wasn't updated.

@Jroot the goal would be to have this package maintained by itself thanks to GitHub Actions
