Invalid interface to SNW_SERVICE in Ubuntu 14.04

Asked by Vladdy on 2014-05-12

After recent/last updates I can't start/connect KebrumVPN (openvpn engine) client GUI on 14.04, here's the log from terminal:

sudo '/usr/bin/Kebrum'
Command: /usr/bin/Kebrum --server --daemon

I have noticed on Launchpad similar bugs description on previous distros from different apps. I was using this app for a long time and this happened after recent updates on May 11, 2014 if I'm not mistaken. Though I can connect to KebrumVPNs using terminal command `sudo openvpn /etc/openvpn/location1.UDP.ovpn` and it works.

It look like the client has been compiled and linked with an other version of Qt. The developers have to recompile it. Ot you can install an older version, which is not really recommended.
We can not assist much more for proprietary software.

Why are you using sudo to bring up the VPN using openvpn?

Thomas Krüger thank you for the answer.

Vladdy (blodsugare88) said : #4

actionparsnip (andrew-woodhead666) it's just the command that was written on KebrumVPN website to launch it from terminal.
