Mullvad vpn client issue [SOLVED]

#1 Post by Hooten »

I'm using Mullvad vpn and they released a newer version of their client that after installation brakes synaptic and cannot remove it also. I haven't find any solution online like "apt-get install -f". I've reinstalled MX in the end to remove it and contacted Mullvad support but they didn't find a solution to this issue. Is any chance to be a fixed from the OS itself?

Thank you in advance.

Maybe you can try the Qomui client. It's compatible with Mullvad.

I've tried Qomui but when i launch it i press start and after that a message pops up says "Qomui service failed to start".

Probably related to (lack of) systemd. Reboot and when GRUB is shown choose MX advanced options. Then choose the option that says "MX...systemd" and boot that one. Then start Qomui and see if you get the same error.

Actually it's a systemd thing. Everything works when i boot in MX with systemd. Is it possible to enable only one program to use systemd (like mullvad client) without booting in MX with systemd?

Would start the daemon from the cli like this

Code: Select all

/opt/mullvad-vpn/resources/mullvad-daemon" -v --disable-stdout-timestamps
# or if privileged start is needed
sudo /opt/mullvad-vpn/resources/mullvad-daemon" -v --disable-stdout-timestamps
make the vpn available for you?
If yes, I assume that's just a matter of putting this exec-starter into init.d startup script.
Which is generally spoken a kind of converting the mullvad-vpn systemd-service into an init.d-startup "service" .

EDIT: And for the Qomui startup service try this

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/env qomui-service
# or if privileged start is needed
sudo /usr/bin/env qomui-service

Unfortunately, same for Mullvad.

I meant, when you start the above daemon , do you got any messages?
