Arch Linux User Repository

Yes, it runs from sudo but that is the issue; the previous versions and the version directly from Torguard prompt for the superuser password when the program is started. Version 3.90.0-3 posted here does not prompt for the superuser password when started from torguard.desktop or the command line, it simply starts up. Then when attempting to make a connection, it then flags an error.

Try opening it with sudo

Can anyone help me with this? The latest update flags this error when I try to connect to a Torguard VPN server:

:ERROR: Cannot ioctl TUNSETIFF tun: Operation not permitted (errno=1)

The vendor's PKGBUILD install works for 3.90 but in reading the comments here, I understand the vendor's version does not meet Arch Linux standards for being included in the repositories.

Hi, can you upload the new update? (was released today). Thanks for your work! pd. The official update its here:

https://updates.torguard.biz/Software/Linux/torguard-v3.90.0-amd64-arch.tar.gz

but i cant update directly i need your help to install from repository.

I didn't say "add qt5-base as a dependency", I said "move the executable to /usr/bin and then add qt5-base as a dependency".

The point is to see if it can work with the system qt5-base, not merely to depend on the system qt5-base and not even use it.

In a similar vein, stunnel, ss-local and shadowsocks are all provided bundled into the prebuilt archive, but they should be possible to debundle just like debundling qt5-base.

Either way, debundling qt5 takes more work than just adding it to the dependencies.

@eschwartz I added the .sysusers file. No longer copying everything. URL is fixed. I added qt5-base as a dependency but I didn't understand what you said about stunnel, ss-local and shadowsocks.

Edit: Let me know if there is anything else that can be improved.

Please remove the install script and provide a systemd-sysusers snippet, e.g. see https://www.archlinux.org/todo/switch-to-systemd-sysusers/

Also it is wrong to remove users/groups on package removal, see https://www.archlinux.org/todo/usergroup-management/

Also, you're copying over rather a lot of things including a full source archive and a PKGBUILD directly to / when the only thing you needed to do was add "etc" to the copying-over of "usr" and "opt" :/

General, pre-existing issues:

Note that the url https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/torguard/www.torguard.com is broken (missing protocol:// means that it's a relative filename, not a domain name...)

Many dependencies are missing for the bundled Qt libraries: fontconfig, freetype, glib2, libgl...

Why are these bundled libraries needed at all? It seems to work just fine using the system qt5-base plus moving /opt/torguard/bin/torguard to /usr/bin/ -- the stunnel and ss-local binaries should probably also be replaced by their system versions from the stunnel and shadowsocks-libev packages.

Edit: As of v3.89 I couldn't get this to work

Follow the steps bellow to:

• avoid typing your password to run torguard
• run from dmenu/rofi or anything that uses .desktop files

Update sudoers policy

edit the /etc/sudoers.d/torguard file, changing /opt/torguard/bin/torguard to:

/opt/torguard/bin/torguard, /usr/bin/torguard

Add your user to the torguard group

# gpasswd -a *user* torguard

Now you can do sudo torguard to run the client without being asked for your password

Edit .desktop file

edit the /usr/share/applications/torguard.desktop file changing the Exec line to:

Exec=sudo /usr/bin/torguard

Now you should be able to run TorGuard from rofi/dmenu or anything else that relies on the .desktop files

PS:

I contacted TorGuard and they are going to fix this in the next release. For now this workaround will do.

I no longer use Arch and am in discussions with the TG team to take over this AUR package. If someone else would like to become a maintainer, that would be great.

Version v3.86.1 is out. Are there any plans for update?
