Surfshark on Manjaro - Stuck on setting up - Linux

I don't know why I'm even doing this. My build is pretty locked own as it is and I've use nmap to determine I have no open ports, etc.
BUt still ,I pay for it, so why not, right??
However, using How to set up Surfshark VPN on Linux Manjaro? I'm getting stuck at setting up a new VPN.
In the steps,
Enter the following command to install the Network Manager for the OpenVPN Client:
pacman -Q networkmanager-openvpn
If the Network Manager is already on your device, you will see the following command:
networkmanager-openvpn 1.8.6-1
That works out just right, but no option to add a VPN in my Network Settings

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So moving on, I try to reinstall the Network Manager for OpenVPN
If the Network Manager is not installed, run the following two commands:
pacman -S networkmanager-openvpn
systemctl restart networkmanager
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command reinstalls the manager but the second command fails
Which means I still have no option to add a VPN,
In other words, I never see this:
So what am I missing??

I've personally never used surfshark before but you've got the package that you need to import your VPN's .ovpn file. Once you've got that package installed for NetworkManager are you saying that it's not giving you the option to create and import the .ovpn file in the NetworkManager settings?

That's exactly what I'm saying. I've tried several times after reboots, etc and no luck.

looking at your screenshots a little closer you're trying to access the incorrect service. network manager is `
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
` take not of the casing of NetworkManager.
Not sure what DE you're using XFCE? I personally use KDE. In the network settings of KDE there is a "+" on the bottom left
Then in the next menu that pops up there will be a section for "VPN connections" in that section, after you restart NetworkManager, will be an OpenVPN option
Then click "create" in those menus there should be an option to upload your .ovpn file that should auto-fill the settings with the information from your .ovpn.

actually if you scroll down further in that menu there is an option for importing a VPN setting (a lot like your one screenshot)
if I click on that it opens up my file manager where I can pick the .ovpn file.
Does yours give you that option?

I have that with XFCE, just no choice for OpenVPN - until I corrected the case sensitivity! I owe you a cold beer, mnan!! Good catch!

Noon ?: Loading Opera with one button?

Hi, I've had my Tilt for about a week now, and I've messed with HTC home and the customizer. I've manager to do a few things but I was wondering if their is anyway to make an icon, that will not only load Java, but Opera Mini 4. Since you have to open Java up first, i have no idea how to do this. I then want to make that shortcut available to my today screen or possibly somewhere else on the "desktop" Any help? Thanks! -Jeff
Yes there is.
Search the forum for the link.
I suggest search for Opera mini default.

Please DO follow ALL my articles! I've published several articles on this. See http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...he FREE(!) Web browser you MUST give a try to in the Wiki - from there, I've provided the right link to the tutorial explaining how this needs to be done.
I've actually read that, and been messing with this for about 2 hours without luck. One, I have Jbed.exe in my windows folder, however, whenever i run the .INK with 28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_ I get
"There is no application associated with Opera0.ink"
I also cannot determine which # to replace with 0, as I do not have any .jar files located in my Appdb folder. I have a tilt, so I'm not sure if the software on this particular phone is different.
I wouldn't post here unless I was having some difficulty, and after 2 hours my patience sorta lapsed. haha
Try it with .lnk instead of .ink .
I did it this way:

Wow, freaking awesome. FYI, just use the file that is in the "NoBrowserSelectionDialog" folder to add to the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder. Then you can just select it in the buttons setting and have Opera Mini mapped to your IE button.

Punker- its a LNK file, not a INK. LNK as in link.
Hm, when I create such link, it says " Could not find suite s0_" In AppDb folder there is s0_..., have only opera mini installed in java. Don't know what else?

[APP] ConnectBot for Honeycomb

Posted this on my Twitter (@ruqqq) yesterday. Not sure how many people use ConnectBot (like I do). But anyway, I took a whole day to learn Fragment API and decided to use ConnectBot as my "test subject". Below is the result:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Code:
[B]Features:[/B]
- Standard ConnectBot features
- ActionBar UI
- Fragments UI
[B]Known bug:[/B]
- While a console is open, if you click the EditText on bottom right, the console will lose focus. When that happens, click the list item of the current console to regain focus.
YOU NEED TO UNINSTALL THE CURRENT CONNECTBOT ON YOUR DEVICE BEFORE INSTALLING THIS VERSION BECAUSE OF DIFFERENT SIGNATURES
GitHub Link: https://github.com/ruqqq/connectbot
APK Link: REUPLOADED
I won't continue developing this and I hope somebody out there would improve the code. I've also mention ConnectBot lead developer in my tweet in hope he see this link and would merge my changes.
I get a force close when I 'sudo tail'
sudo tail?
EDIT: Reuploaded with major bugfix thanks to @mattyboy247 report
Attempting to 'sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/error.log'
FC's at 'sudo tail'
you meant you ran the command on your server? anyway.. try the reuploaded apk.
With the first APK uploaded, after a connection to the server, I would attempt to view its apache2 error log. imediately after typing 'sudo tail ' it would FC.
The re uploaded one seems to be working now. Thanks for this.
I'll fork your Git for future reference to the code, that way I am not depending on you to see why I'm having problems, and can attempt to correct them
sure. please do. i'm only porting the UI for my use and for learning fragment api. i don't intend to further develop or maintain this.
Love the app,
but is there anyway to disable volume control for the control the text size?
is there a way to hide the host list?
What does this do if I may ask?
much apreaciated man, it works wonderfull on my gtab 10.1v.

yeah what does it do? Oo
same thing as connectbot, SSH terminal connections but with a modified UI for honeycomb tablets.
Did you send a pull request on github? Best way to get him to merge things. I know for a fact he watches those.
I have a fork with modification to use Search key on a Transformer for ESC. So I'll learn how to use the pull request function with you.
Great app idea! I love it. One problem though - didn't install for me. Running rooted stock HC 3.1 on Asus Transformer. I do have the original Connectbot installed, would that have anything to do with it?

D'OH! my bad - thanks for the heads up.
hey arctu, thanks for this, i use connectbot almost every day!
Hello there,
can anybody upload apk somewhere and make a mirror? OP's link doesn't work for me ATM.
TIA
Hi arctu
I just wonder why you used the base ConnectBot.
I prefer the already modified version, Irssi ConnectBot, which sports a bunch of features such as the long touch menu, symbols, device and language specific fixes, etc.
I used to use ConnectBot for local terminal emulating, but then I discovered that one modified for irssi and now I can't do a lot of things on my X10i without it.
I hope you will start to modify Irssi ConnectBot as well.

[Q] Changing Mac Address

I've tried all traditional methods for changing mac address on an android device.
None of them seem to work on Ace though.
I'v even tried a few known-to-work apps.
Any work arounds?
I am on Democracy ROM.
Is this a kernel thing?

Okay.
So, I've tried looked up on "Mac address Changer", "Spoof Mac Address", "Mac address" on google play and tried a LOT of apps. (Cant remember their names).
Also I tried the following terminal method.

Bump.
You're supposed to type 'su' first, otherwise you don't have root access. Also, try wlan0 instead of eth0 if it still doesnt work

[GUIDE][WIN][HowTo] Create a Logcat via Eclipse using Windows and Wifi

I decided to create this thread to show you how easy it is to submit a shorter logcat to the devs and save their time by searching huge logcats full of unimportant information
Im Using Eclipse because auf the better usability and readability of the logcats because there are coloured and you can better setup the filters ... in my point of view
Download Android/Eclipse
Download Android SDK and Eclipse here I'm using the 32Bit edition (maybe something depending on Android will not work if you are using 64Bit, but try it and maybe it works )
Extract Eclipse to your desired directory (I'm using "D:\dev\eclipse", but do as you wanna do)
Extract sdk ("D:\dev\sdk") and "SDK Manager.exe" ("D:\dev")
Create a Desktop or Startmenu Shortcut of eclipse.exe if you wanna to

Setup Eclipse
Run eclipse.exe
You need to Select a workspace: (I'm using "D:\dev\workspace", but it doesnt matters), Tick "Use this as the default and do not ask again" to save time on the next starts

Add platform-tools to your "path"
Press [Windows]+[R], type SETX PATH "%PATH;D:\dev\sdk\platform-tools"(depending on your directory), press [Enter]

If the log not automatically appears you need to add the "Device View" to Eclipse, the same way you added "LogCat" "Window">"Show View">"Other" ... "Android">"Devices" this View helps you to select your device for ADB
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If Eclipse is still open: Something should happen in the LogCat view (Colourfull )
You can now see the messages provided by the phone in realtime, using mouseover will tell you the features of the logcat view to save/clear/filter the log

U guys have instructions on what u used on how u did it.?? I would really appreciate it
So I think the issue is the adb command window won't recognize my phone. I get an error no devices emulators found when I type the adb shell command. Download loaded the software multiple times. Phone set to debug etc. Not sure what I am missing....

Maybe you're missing drivers?
So I downloaded the Xperia driver. Unzipped. Do I need to do anything else to the driver software? Sorry a newbie here.

When you plug in the phone to the computer, there's probably an unknown device in Device Manager. Right click on it and choose update drivers, then select the folder you unzipped the drivers to and let Windows install it.
OK did that. It won't let me install the xz1 driver that I downloaded. Keeps telling me current driver (mtp USB) is the most current and up to date driver. Try to work around it but it keeps preventing me from installing the new driver. And if I delete the driver and unplug replug in phone it automatically installs that previous driver.
Well, I'm out of ideas, sorry I couldn't be of help.
Well I appreciate all the suggestions. I'll keep playing around. Not that important of a feature to go to all this trouble. Thanks again!
Works for me (Windows 10 Fall Creators Update on pc, xz1 compact v47.1.A.2.374)
just wondering, this option only turns on the wifi? not off?

Yeah usb debugging good. Pretty sure it's all bc my laptop is not letting the phone be recognized by the command prompt. I'm gonna try it on the wife's laptop tonight. See if that works...
Have you tried IFTTT or tasker? You can setup to get the location and turn wifi on or off based on that

You can also use the app "WiFi Automatic" from j4velin: works wery well. Actually i'm using this app to auto disable wifi if not connect for more than 5 minuts, leaving the auto reenable to android 8 built-in option, but you can define on or more zone (by GSM cell) for auto re-enable
