Hi,

I rarely use the app; I fixed locally one issue, but can't get it to work otherwise. So, I will leave it to the next maintainer.

If you have app issues, I recommend generating profiles in the account page, since those integrate very well with all regular tools like NetworkManager and CLI tools like wireguard and openvpn.

NOTE: Issues regarding icu library files not being found, such as

vpn-unlimited: error while loading shared libraries: libicudata.so.73: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

are not strictly related to this package, but to boost174. Each time the icu package in the official repositories is updated to a new major version, boost174 needs to be rebuilt.

You don't need to install any version of icu other than the package available in the official repositories. To resolve the issue, either rebuild boost174 yourself or, even better, leave a comment in boost174 so I can publish a new pkgver and as such force a rebuild for all users.

@mmkodali I got the same error yesterday. I worked around by installing ICU 73 manually.

  1. Download ICU 73.2 from https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/releases/tag/release-73-2
  2. For convenience, I downloaded the binary package for Ubuntu 22.04 and copied all the libraries into /usr/local/lib (I disregarded the other content, lest it interferes with files installed and managed by my system)
  3. I then linked all the new libraries in /usr/local/lib from /usr/lib, e.g. sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libicudata.so.73 /usr/lib/libicudata.so.73 (you need to apply this for the other libicu* files as well).
  4. I restarted the vpn-unlimited daemon by running sudo systemctl start vpn-unlimited-daemon
  5. Check if it started up correctly: sudo systemctl status vpn-unlimited-daemon
  6. Now that the daemon has started, vpn-unlimited should run fine without the mentioned error message.

I think the better approach would be to install ICU 73 from source, or to link a package containing ICU 73 in the package build. Maybe this one would work: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/icu73-bin

giving the following error at startup : 

vpn-unlimited: error while loading shared libraries: libicudata.so.73: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

@carsme Yes, just adding exception handling for this case when loading the UI in incoming releases/updates to avoid any breaking while loading the application. This case happens when the network is enabled, but when disconnected and trying to load it will load successfully. This scenario should be handled.

@0xh3xa Thanks for finding a fix. Not sure if there is something that can be done in the package to remove the need for the workaround. Let me know if you have suggestions.

@helmet88

I was able to run the app by doing some steps, review my comment: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2134413#p2134413

Hello,

I get these errors when I try to run the app:

vpn-unlimited
Translation file loaded:  ":/translations/translations/VPN_Unlimited_English.qm"
Translation file loaded:  ":/translations/translations/VPN_SDK_English.qm"
Translation file loaded:  ":/translations/translations/KS_Auth_(EMA)_English.qm"

qrc:/qml/qml/LoginRegistrationPage.qml:72: TypeError: Cannot call method 'getKeyPolicyLink' of null

I am able to see the app running for one second and then the app dies.

Related topic here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=290091

Any idea? Thanks in advance.

installing icu67 fixed it!

thanks for all the help, not sure what cursed thing I did to my machine to make it need an old version of icu

carsme commented on 2023-04-23 11:04 (UTC)

@ace510 I'm afraid I can't reproduce it so I'm hesitant to try to fix in the package.

You could try to play around with patchelf and link to the newer libicu:

patchelf --replace-needed libicudata.so.67 libicudata.so.72 "$file"

Or you could install icu67 and see if that helps. Let me know how it goes.

ran through a yay -Rs vpn-unlimited yay -S vpn-unlimited cycle, even tried a cleanbuild + restart, no luck

ldd /usr/lib/libvpnu_private_sdk.so | grep libicudata
    libicudata.so.67 => not found
ldd /usr/bin/vpn-unlimited | grep libicudata
    libicudata.so.72 => /usr/lib/libicudata.so.72 (0x00007fa686400000)
    libicudata.so.67 => not found

is what I get from those two commands if that helps
