Manjaro (Cinnamon) update broke Protonvpn and Onboard Virtual Keyboard

VPN

Latest Manjaro (Cinnamon) update broke Protonvpn (oddly left the Proton Mail Bridge okay) and also broke Onboard virtual keyboard (disappears after about 1 second when invoked). I am using the Flatpak for now. Any ideas?

I had the same problem. I solved this by reinstalling the ProtonVPN client. It is important to uninstall all modules that belong to it beforehand. In my case, I had to do the following:

pamac remove python-proton-vpn-session python-proton-vpn-network-manager-openvpn python-proton-vpn-network-manager python-proton-vpn-logger python-proton-vpn-k illswitch-network-manager python-proton-vpn-killswitch python-proton-vpn-connection python-proton-vpn-api-core python-proton-keyring-linux-secretservice python-proton-key ring-linux python-proton-core

And then reinstall the ProtonVPN client (the corresponding modules will be reinstalled automatically):

pamac install proton-vpn-gtk-app

onboard: try switch input method from xinput to gtk (Menu - Onboard Settings - Keyboard - Advanced - Input method)

Thanks, but I get another error that is way beyond my Linux expertise : When I try to remove all (or each one at a time) I get an error "Error: target not found: python-proton-vpn-session … (or whichever module I specify).

When I try to reinstall, I get another error:

That worked, thanks :slight_smile:
