Path with space is not escaped

[zyoc]

Hi, had no problems on LM 19.3 but get the below trying to install on LM 20. No matter what I select on the last line the Terminal closes.

Did you install nordpy with support for obfuscated server? If yes, can you try to install it without this feature and see if you get any error?

[zyoc]

No I selected No at that prompt

And what happens if you try to start nordpy from command line (./nordpy.py)?

[zyoc]

I get the below...

zyoc@zyoc:~$ ./nordpy.py bash: ./nordpy.py: No such file or directory

Just tried to install again and go the below before the Terminal window closed by itself again...

[morpheusthewhite]

I get the below...

zyoc@zyoc:~$ ./nordpy.py bash: ./nordpy.py: No such file or directory

In the directory you cloned/downloaded, containing the installation script

[zyoc]

That worked, but getting this error...

[zyoc]

I think this text file was generated when running the install.sh?

nordpy.desktop 376 bytes

Yes it is

[morpheusthewhite]

The is that you are using a folder whose path contains space.

I will soon try to escape it, in the meantime you can just rename the folder and it should work

[morpheusthewhite]

It should now work if you update nordpy

[zyoc]

"The is that you are using a folder whose path contains space."

Which folder is that? I did try just copying the nordpy-1.3.3 folder to the desktop and installing from there but same results.

[zyoc]

Not sure if I updated properly or not (fairly new to Linux) as I'm still getting an error...

"The is that you are using a folder whose path contains space."

Which folder is that? I did try just copying the nordpy-1.3.3 folder to the desktop and installing from there but same results.

The folder is "NORD_VPN STUFF"

[morpheusthewhite]

To be sure, git clone this repository, install it again and launch it. In case you get again that error check your credentials

[zyoc]

Now nordpy is in the menu and launches fine but won't allow for selecting a specific server. The list pulls up but after choosing a server nothing happens.

I can close the list and choose connect automatically but get the error below.

[morpheusthewhite]

The list of server has a confirm button which is hidden because of the size of the window, so try to resize it and try again.

Regarding the error for the automatic connection, can you start nordpy from the command line and paste here the content on the terminal after the error popup is shown?

[zyoc]

Everything seems to work using the cmd line. Get the same error as above starting from nordpy in the menu.

Something new is when I disconnect now from nordpy I lose the internet connection completely and have to restart the PC to get it back.

[morpheusthewhite]

I think the disconnection error are due to the fact the some space in the path eventually (I am not sure if there are so please confirm it), so if you move it to another folder it should work

[zyoc]

This time I re downloaded nordpy directly to the Downloads folder so no spaces in the path. I appreciate all your time in helping troubleshoot my issue!

Thought I'd try uninstalling everything, including Nordvpn and reinstalling with still no luck installing from the install.sh. Then tried using the cmd line installation from both the Downloads Folder and the Desktop Folder and got a different error from each folder...

Joy, I have it working now!! :)

This is what I did... I installed from the nordpy folder using sudo ./install.sh It installed and I have the nordpy icon in the menu. I clicked on the icon, it opened, asked for the root password and I entered the password for my machine, and chose "select manually, and it stated "wrong credentials". I closed nordpy and reopened it and chose the select server automatically option this time and now the prompt was for my username and password for Nordvpn. I entered those credentials and now everything works (selecting servers manually or automatically).

Thank you so much for this little program!!!

[morpheusthewhite]

So the message "wrong credentials" appeared without asking for username and password for the manual selection?!?

[zyoc]

So the message "wrong credentials" appeared without asking for username and password for the manual selection?!?

Yes that's correct. Once I entered the credentials after I was prompted using the automatic option, both connection options now work.

[morpheusthewhite]

I think it depends on some of the server listed, I got some errors too. Also when copy-pasting username and password I got wrong credentials after entering them, but I cannot get nordpy avoiding asking me credentials at the first time
