ProtonVPN

jacknash

Is anyone running ProtonVPN? I have installed it via Software Center but cannot get it working. I am running Solus 4.1 with Budgie. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

This is error message that I received.

Try installing python-jinja via the Software Center or eopkg. If that works, please file a bug (dev tracker linked in header) and mention that protonvpn is missing that package as a rundep.

Cheers. If you could file a bug so the appropriate package maintainer can resolve the issue that'd be appreciated 🙂

jacknash

JoshStrobl I think I just did, but it is my first attempt at submitting a bug. I appreciate your assistance.
