Build the daemon and CLI tool from (vendored) source, and use pre-built GUI electron application. Do not build flatpak/AppImage because the daemon requires sudo permission and systemd service.

2022.5 is out

thank you!

2023.5 is out. I tried to build it according to your spec file, but I always get an error when updating the shadowsocks library from github and I do not know how to fix that. The package itself compiles fine in my environment.

The error is: + cargo build --release Updating git repository https://github.com/mullvad/shadowsocks-rust error: failed to select a version for the requirement once_cell = "^1.13" (locked to 1.18.0) candidate versions found which didn't match: 1.13.0 location searched: directory source /home/XXXX/rpmbuild/BUILD/mullvadvpn-app-2023.4/vendor (which is replacing registry crates-io) required by package mullvad-api v0.0.0 (/home/XXXX/rpmbuild/BUILD/mullvadvpn-app-2023.4/mullvad-api) perhaps a crate was updated and forgotten to be re-vendored?

However, thank you for providing this!

Thx a lot!

Hi,

First let me thank you. The gui doesn't seem to display any content after recent major system update. After reinstalling mullvad it does work as normal but doesn't survive a reboot. The gui's content is ''blank'' again. Running 2023.5 on tumbleweed. Any idea's?

Greetings

It works on my desktop, so I am not sure why it doesn't show on your environment. I am sorry, but the goal of this repo is for personal use, not for making it work on any environment in Tumbleweed.

Is it GNOME or KDE? I am using KDE Plasma+Wayland. Clearing the cache at $HOME/.cache/Mullvad VPN might also make it work.

It always worked! Gnome+wayland here. There is a cache dir in: /home/magician/.config/Mullvad VPN/Cache

And the new version of mullvad has the same problem.

Do you mean that the prebuilt binary rpm downloaded from https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app has the same problem? If so, it means it is an upstream problem, not packaging issue.

Installed it from this repo:

https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/nuklly/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/

obs://build.opensuse.org/home:nuklly

Deleted this dir:

/home/magician/.config/Mullvad VPN

Reinstalled 2023.5beta1 with yast software management.

Now it works again.
