Works on Mint 22 (ubuntu 24.04 based). Thanks @thiagozs !

spicysomtam commented Aug 19, 2024

So @thiagozs changes worked for me on my main Linux Mint 22 desktop. However for another desktop, which I access remotly using NoMachine, it did not work for me (also tried @kumaran8888 suggestion). This was the fix for this; embedding the env var in the desktop file. Basically the env var was not picked up from ~/.bashrc, ~/.profile, /etc/profile, etc:

$ cat /usr/share/applications/awsvpnclient.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=AWS VPN Client
Comment=AWS VPN Client
Exec=env DOTNET_SYSTEM_GLOBALIZATION_INVARIANT=1 /opt/awsvpnclient/awsvpnclient %u
Path=/opt/awsvpnclient

Terminal=false
Categories=Network;VPN;
Keywords=vpn;aws;

Thanks @spicysomtam. That helped (ubuntu 24.04)

dwilches commented Aug 30, 2024

Thanks! It worked for me with Ubuntu 24.04 as well. I had to use the env command in the desktop file, and do %u instead of %U, but other than that, it worked perfectly.

Thanks! The solution worked as described.

However after a recent apt upgrade the VPN suddenly stopped working. I did not keep a log of the updated packages though, but I see that the client shows Version 3.15.1
The app launches, but after hitting the "Connect" button a popup window shows with "Unknown error ocurred. Try Again".
Any ideas on what to look for?

I found that after going back to 3.15.0 it works again!

This worked for me...I have the latest AWS VPN version and Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openssl/libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i libssl1.1_1.1.0g-2ubuntu4_amd64.deb

We should appeal to AWS to make the VPN client supported on Ubuntu 24. I have filled out a support ticket. In the reply they said they are working on it but they did not specify an ETA. I did not understand whether that meant "actively working on it", or just "it's it's the backlog" kind of progress. Has anyone else conversed with AWS regarding this?
