Title: VPN connection
Post by: mikegnd98 on 25 October 2022, 21:04:15
I installed IVPN-UI through the AUR and when I launch it I get a "Not connected to daemon" error. I restarted NetworkManager and it still doesn't work. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

What ouput do you get if you run it from the terminal?

ERROR: Unable to connect to service: please, ensure IVPN daemon is running (connection-info not exists)
Please, restart 'ivpn-service'

I tried to restart that service and it does not exist.

It's probably a systemd service and that's why you can't restart it.

Try running the daemon by hand.

I'm not really sure how to do that. I'm just going to run it in CLI mode after I figure out how to get into a root privileged folder.

Hello,

if i remember correctly the ivpn program manage differents init by default (see isuue #1 in their guthub repo) so you should report this. I even think the AUR dev works closely with upsream and even use artix himself
