Problem Running protonvpn

[Timmy-Tenders]

When trying to run any command even protonvpn-cli --version the following error is thrown:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/protonvpn-cli", line 33, in sys.exit(load_entry_point('protonvpn-cli==3.11.0', 'console_scripts', 'protonvpn-cli')()) File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/main.py", line 20, in main from .cli import ProtonVPNCLI File "/usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/protonvpn_cli/cli.py", line 4, in from proton.constants import VERSION as proton_version ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'proton'

On Arch Linux Python3 Version 3.10.1

This happened to me today too.

Solved it by uninstalling all pvpn packages, removing any cached stuff (probably only ~/.cache/protonvpn matters but I removed yay caching too), and reinstalling.

[Timmy-Tenders]

Which packages did you remove ? I did reinstall removing the yay cache as well as yay cache.

[ciaranbor]

The AUR metapackage (protonvpn). It is a little funny, I had to do the process twice on one of my systems.

[Timmy-Tenders]

I had it installed from the AUR but not the metapackage just directly the protonvpn-cli package.

[ciaranbor]

Try yay -Rs protonvpn-cli (uninstalls dependencies too), remove caches, reinstall.

[Timmy-Tenders]

That last one worked for me thanks.

[eljejer]

The last one worked for me too. Thanks,

[zerotobtc]

For me too. I think this can be closed!

Hey ! i'have the same problem. BUT any of your solution or solution of this link works for me.

Exactly got this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/protonvpn-cli", line 33, in <module>
    sys.exit(load_entry_point('protonvpn-cli==3.11.0', 'console_scripts', 'protonvpn-cli')())
  File "/usr/bin/protonvpn-cli", line 25, in importlib_load_entry_point
    return next(matches).load()
StopIteration

[Edited to track solution found for Manjaro] Hello! Similar issue on Manjaro.

I tried the following:

• pamac remove -o protonvpn-cli
• Cleaning of pamac cache (done through GUI: preference, third parties, ...)
• rm -rf ~/.cache/protonvpn/
• pamac build protonvpn-cli

Builds without error, however any protonvpn-cli command returns

Traceback (most recent call last):

    sys.exit(load_entry_point('protonvpn-cli==3.11.0', 'console_scripts', 'protonvpn-cli')())

Linux 5.10.89-1-MANJARO with Python 3.10.1 Thread on Manjaro Forum: Proton vpn stopped working

The solution was to run the command pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9) after the installation.

[ParaplegicRacehorse]

... so pamac build #(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.9) returns: (terminal output attached as txt file)

protonvpn-pythonup-pamacerrors.txt

tl;dr: build tests fail. install aborts.

[ParaplegicRacehorse]

Update.

Further testing revealed, in my case, the AUR python package build string failed due to other packages. Attempting pamac build and giving only the python-proton packages as argument worked.

[tuxedotje]

did solve this by install the protonvpn-beta.

I'm using Kali 2022.2

[vaibhav-mzp]

UPDATE: Just solved the problem by deleting "/usr/local/lib/python3.10" folder and installing required modules manually by pip in a non-root terminal. Modules installed - "Mapping" and "urllib3".

I got it working by doing the following:

pamac remove python-proton-client python-protonvpn-nm-lib protonvpn-gui protonvpn-cli protonvpn
pamac clean -k 0 # removes build files that are cached
rm -rf ~/.cache/protonvpn
pamac install protonvpn
