Howto get rid of a popupmessage about mullvad vpn connection?

phmo · 14 November 2020 21:30

I get this message all the time when I have shutoff the mullvadclient:
Mullvad_Banner

I have even uninstalled the mullvad app, but the popup message still appears

How to make it disappear forever ?

What desktop environment is that? Is it Plasma? If so, did you have that application set up to automatically start on login?

Check the following in System Settings…

Workspace → Startup and Shutdown → Autostart

If you see that application in there, delete the entry. Also, remove anything to do with that application from…

~/.local
~/.config
~/.cache

Thread tentatively moved to #desktop-environments:Plasma.

phmo · 14 November 2020 21:41

I use Manjaro original Xfce

Did you have that application set up to automatically start on login ? YES !

Aragorn · 14 November 2020 21:45

Well, then at least this here below still applies…

I’m sure XFCE also has a settings page for automatically starting applications on login, so check that, and also make sure there isn’t a hidden directory (“folder”) with the name of the application in your $HOME.

Thread moved to #desktop-environments:XFCE.

phmo · 14 November 2020 21:59

Got this from the manual :

Session

Autostart

To launch custom applications when Xfce starts up, click the Applications Menu > Settings > Settings Manager and then choose the Session and Startup option and click the tab Application Autostart . You will see a list of programs that get launched on startup. To add an entry, click the Add button and fill out the form, specifying the path to an executable you want to run.

Autostart applications are stored as name.desktop in ~/.config/autostart/ .

Alternatively, add the commands you wish to run (including setting environment variables) to xinitrc (or [xprofile] when a [display manager] is being used).

Tip: Sometimes it might be useful to delay the startup of an application . Note that specifying under Application > Autostart a command such as sleep 3 && command does not work; a workaround is to use the syntax sh -c "sleep 3 && command"

How did you install it to begin with and which package?

phmo · 14 November 2020 22:06

Found this:
/home/philip/.config/Mullvad VPN/

Will erase the mullvad catalog and see if it disappears.

phmo · 14 November 2020 22:08

Installed with Pamac and Mullvad package

Yochanan · 14 November 2020 22:11

What’s the output of:

pacman -Qs mullvad

phmo · 14 November 2020 22:12

Nope, removed the Mullvad VPN catalog but the message still popsup

phmo · 14 November 2020 22:13

[philip@Acer ~]$ pacman -Qs mullvad
[philip@Acer ~]$

[philip@Acer ~]$ sudo pacman -Qs mullvad

Nothing …

I think it was that package …

In Pamac everything Mullvad is uninstalled.

Very strange that I get the poppup message still.
Mullvad_Banner

Is it something local in the networkmanager that is wrong ?

The service is no longer running and you’ve removed all leftover files, so the only thing left I can think of is rebooting.

No, reboot does not help.

Popup-message still coming up.

Can you not simply block this application in the notification settings?

phmo · 15 November 2020 16:59

Can I do it in the Terminal?

I have blocked Mullvad app in notification settings.

No luck !
