I see. So this python's OS module's function "os.getlogin()" is not designed for Arch Linux. I'll use something else that hopefully works with every os. Btw when installing with Pip3 on Arch, does it create the folder "/usr/share/openpyn" ? Debian is no longer letting Pip create folders or store files in any other location than the default location.

[jotyGill]

openpyn needs to know if it is being run using "sudo", notifications are not allowed if a script is running as root using "su" or "sudo". They work fine if you are logged in as "root".

I tried a bunch of other ways to find out if the logged in user is not "root" it self.
using:
pwd.getpwuid(os.getuid())[0]
getpass.getuser()
shell environment variables "USER" and "LOGNAME"
os.environ["USER"]
os.environ["LOGNAME"]
test.py.txt

None of these work the way I need them to. shell variables worked fine on Fedora but not on "Debian" or "Ubuntu" (when running a script with sudo, they say the user is root).
So the best option for now is to just use os.getlogin() and handle the exception.

To receive desktop notification run it without "sudo" then supply sudo credentials when needed.

PS. Could you please test it out on Arch and let me know.

git clone --branch test https://github.com/jotyGill/openpyn-nordvpn.git
cd openpyn-nordvpn
sudo python3 setup.py install

Cheers :)

Bruh as I stated earlier don't run it with 'sudo' for the notifications to work. btw now if it is run using 'sudo', it will just warn you about notifications but won't give you an error. 3dfbdc4

For this "Options error: In [CMD-LINE]:1: Error opening configuration file: /usr/share/openpyn/files/it18.nordvpn.com.udp1194.ovpn"

Can you make sure you have files in /usr/share/openpyn/files ?

And update your config files (openpyn --update) it could be that server you were trying to connect to was recently added and did not have a config yet. Cheers.
(actually yeah: the server it18.nordvpn.com.udp1194.ovpn was added very recently)

[jotyGill]

If all is good now. I'll close this issue.
