UPDATE 09/19/2021: I (hkuchampudi) am not able to maintain this package any longer. Therefore, I am abandoning it so that someone else who is more interested can maintain it. The GitHub repository has also been archived.

Note: I am only the packager of this application. If you are experiencing issues with the application itself (that do not stem from how the application is packaged), please submit a support request to Windscribe directly (https://windscribe.com/support). Alternatively you can post to the official subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Windscribe/).

If you have found an issue with the packaging, please open an issue on GitHub (https://github.com/hkuchampudi/Windscribe/issues) with clear steps to reproduce the error and any relevant logs. Thanks!

@hkuchampudi, thank you for such a great script!!!

Surprisingly the windscribe log didn't show any errors. I've actually found that I had a lot of bad sectors on my main drive so I've reinstalled Arch on another drive and things seem to be working well again, so I'm assuming that was the problem. Thanks for replying and sorry about the noise.

@damien

Hmmm... I have never experienced this problem with my setup. So, to be clear, are you saying that when you run sudo systemctl start windscribe.service systemd is showing an error when you check the status of the service? Just guessing based on the error you posted, it sounds like you are getting a malformed JSON response when the windscribe service tries to authenticate with windscribe servers. Have you checked your windscribe log; what does it say?

Hi, I'm not sure when this started but I haven't been able to start the windscribe service for a while. I am getting this error when I try to manually start it in the terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "windscribe/windscribe.py", line 60, in <module> File "click/decorators.py", line 115, in decorator File "click/decorators.py", line 89, in _make_command File "windscribe/WSDaemonCLI.py", line 39, in init File "windscribe/WindscribeCLI.py", line 208, in init File "windscribe/WindscribeShelve.py", line 35, in init File "json/init.py", line 339, in loads File "json/decoder.py", line 364, in decode File "json/decoder.py", line 382, in raw_decode ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded Failed to execute script windscribe</module>

Is anyone else having this issue?

damien commented on 2017-11-17 15:01 (UTC)

Hi hkuchampudi, your change seems to work great now. Thanks!

hkuchampudi commented on 2017-11-17 14:33 (UTC)

In the latest update, I have modified the windscribe-cli systemd service to include 'ExecStop=/usr/bin/windscribe stop' to shutdown the windscribe daemon. This should ensure that the service shuts down and should prevent system hang-ups on shutdown and reboot

hkuchampudi commented on 2017-11-16 23:16 (UTC)

@damien Yes, I have run into this issue before; it looks like the binary doesn't want to play nice with systemd. I have been planning on committing some changes to the systemd service file, but have not gotten around to it. Namely, I am going to change the contents of '/etc/systemd/system/windscribe.service' to the following: [Unit] Description=Windscribe VPN CLI Service After=syslog.target network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target [Service] Type=simple ExecStart=/usr/bin/windscribe start ExecStop=/usr/bin/windscribe stop Restart=on-failure KillMode=control-group SuccessExitStatus=SIGKILL PIDFile=/etc/windscribe/windscribe.pid [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target If you want to give this a try and report back, that would help me out. After making the changes to the windscribe.service file you will need to run 'sudo systemctl daemon-reload'
