Expressvpn is another VPN that the deb show installed but does not run. It has addens for 'Chrome' and "Firefox' but I don't used either so did not install them.ludolph wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 8:18 amCould you recommend me how to investigate this problem? Where are typically stored services or executable for systemd?dolphin_oracle wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 8:01 am However, usually there is just some service that needs started up. you can usually do this manually if you know the name of the executable for the service.
So in a terminal what does it say if you enter ssomething like "nordvpn status'. If I do that after install of expressvpn, 'expressvpn status' it tell me that a demon is not running.
When I first got the deb for Expressvpn, it would not run but found a hack that made it work, so did not have to ask for my money back. Expressvpn does not have an app but is done thru the terminal. They came out with a newer version but it would not install over the old one, and I could not remove the old one. I found out that I had to boot into systemd to plurge the old version. When I rebooted to non systemd side I could then install the newer version and applied the hack and it runs fine. You may have to do the same.
If you still have the old version installed then you might try this. Do not know if this will work for 'Nordvpn', but here is the hack I use.
Code: Select all
sudo sh -c 'E=expressvpn; I=/etc/init.d/$E; cp -f /usr/lib/$E/$E.init $I; chmod +x $I; touch /etc/default/$E; $I restart; /usr/sbin/update-rc.d $E defaults'
