Unable to start the client running Gnome on Wayland (Fedora)

[divinoro]

Trying your client, however I can't start it:

FIrst

./NordVPN/launch_nord

Then

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland ./NordVPN/launch_nord
Warning: Ignoring XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland on Gnome. Use QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland to run on Wayland anyway.
qt.qpa.plugin: Could not find the Qt platform plugin "wayland" in ""
This application failed to start because no Qt platform plugin could be initialized. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

Available platform plugins are: wayland-org.kde.kwin.qpa, eglfs, linuxfb, minimal, minimalegl, offscreen, vnc, xcb.

Any special dependency I'm missing here, please ? All qt5, qt5 python and qt5 wayland stuff seems to be installed.

Thanky you.

Have you tried installing the python dependencies and running just the python script?
This will probably be more compatible as with the compiled version all of the qt stuff is included in the package.
You can compile this afterwards yourself using
pyinstaller nord_nm_gui.py --icon nordvpnicon.png

Actually I have downloaded latest released version (1.5 alpha I think), error messages have changed, but still not running under Fedora Wayland. But now it seems like "normal" bug, not Wayland related:

I'll dig deeper into that anyway and will let you know what I have found. Thank you,

So far I have not gotten the alpha to work on GNOME, though I haven't had a chance to test it much.
The close to tray functionality does not work so you should probably fall back to the latest stable compatibility version.

[divinoro]

Well.. with this 1.4.2 version I'm running into the exactly same issues, as I described in my very first entry in this thread :-)

[alexaristotelous]

Yeap, having the same issue (Fedora 33).

@divinoro @alexaristotelous In order to run this on Fedora I had to ln -s /etc/pki/tls/certs/{ca-bundle.crt,ca-certificates.crt}. Doing so makes ca-certificates.crt show up in /etc/ssl/certs/ (which in turn is just a symlink to another folder anyway)
Certs appear to be in different locations on different distros.
