I was delighted to see opensnitch move from AUR to community. Unfortunately it does not work for me. I am talking about version 1.5.5 that was released today.
The GUI icon is loaded but stays white. When opening the GUI it does not show any connection to a node.
The opensnitchd is running though and the unix socket in /tmp is visible.

I manually build 1.5.5 from the GIT repository using the old AUR build system and this works so I assume it must have something to do with the arch specific patches or something that the AUR version did and the community package does not do anymore.
This task depends upon

I have to restart the daemon in order for it to start working, I’ll have another look at the packaging.

Thanks for letting me know.

Thank you for looking into this! In https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch/issues/833 the maintainer's hypothesis is that incompatibilities with the patched golang packages (most prominently gRPC) are the problem.

Steps to manually build a working opensnitch stable. [ Originally provided by Stanislav Zhuk @stasadev on github ] (The current v1.5.5 in community does not track events and is related to PKGBUILD changes)

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/opensnitch.git
cd opensnitch
# change the version to 1.5.5 so that pacman doesn't try to replace it with the broken 1.5.5 from the community
sed -i 's/^pkgver=.*/pkgver=1.5.5/' PKGBUILD
updpkgsums
makepkg -si

I'm pretty sure I've fixed it, but I would really appreciate it if everyone tested the new package

It should be hitting the repos in the next few hours, please wait a moment for it to propagate through the mirrors.

Apologies to all these that were affected.

I can confirm 1.5.7 works on all my 4 arch machines. Updated from different AUR versions (1.5.2 being the lowest) without problems.

Thank you very much.

Still not seeing new version on Manjaro...nor does it show in the AUR package search?

We don’t support manjaro.
