Hi,
I am unable to install nordvpn on fedora silverblue using official instructions provided by nordvpn.
the rpm file they provided is just 10kb and when i try checkng the integrity it says file not ok
is there any modified script which can help me install nordvpn on fedora silverblue
steps to layer nordvpn to silverblue
login to nordaccount
go to downloads
scroll down to desktop apps
click 3 dots on side and choose rpm file
open your Terminal and go to Downloads Folder cd Downloads
then run command rpm-ostree install nordvpn-release-1.0.0-1.noarch.rpm`
reboot
after that run rpm-ostree install nordvpn
reboot
login to nordvpn and setup it
I tried the exact same steps however it returned some errors. i have now reinstalled the os . will try once again. the setup file is just 10kb which is unexpected. As far as i remember the actual size should exceed 10kb
even the command to verify the signature tells me signature is not okay.
I will try once again
the file contains only key and repo that needs to be installed as local then update repos and install from terminal
Hi , I tried the command but the last command rpm-ostree install nordvpn returned an error

@saleel the nordVPN 3.19 version seems to have issues to fix this install previous package version 3.18.5 i just tested this and it installs fine and runs.
use command rpm-ostree install nordvpn-3.18.5 after that you are good to go for now there is some issues on nordvpn 3.19.0 just cant update to that version so use for now older version
Hi Marko, thank you very much for your efforts in helping me with the issue. I have at last installed nordvpn 3.18.5 using your steps. i hope not installing the latest version will not cause any security issues as along as my run the rpm-ostree upgrade every day and keep it up to do
. even if it does i have no other go than to wait for it to update to 3.19 and the problem to solve. just curious. i am not sure though but 3.18.5 might be the latest stable version.
sorry for the extra questions. just that i am new to fedora silverblue and i love it .
3.19 is latest stable they released just days ago there is some steps to mmade to upgrade 3.18.5 to current working stable release, but not now since 3.19 is not working yet.
i will post more details later when i can confirm that 3.19 is working and installing as should to how to remove 3.18.5 and adding latest version
Thank you Marko!
still trying to figure this one out no success yet since i need to have nordvpn too
this is latest what i can find on journal
