Mullvad VPN new version update breaks the app

I am
on MX Linux 19.4, and just updated the VPN client to 2023.4. And now it is sitting at "connecting to Mullvad system service" when I open it.

Nothing happens when I
either.
Also this didn't work:
Code: Select all
$ sudo systemctl start mullvad-daemon
System has not been booted with systemd as init system (PID 1). Can't operate.
Failed to connect to bus: Host is down
Neither did this:
Code: Select all
$ sudo /opt/Mullvad\ VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon -v
sudo: /opt/Mullvad VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon: command not found
I've uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled, and restarted a number of times.
Ran
after reinstall and reboot, and then attempted a fresh install. Same problem persists.
Cannot find a resolution. Seems like a bug. Version 2023.3 worked fine... as well as all previous other versions this year and last year. I found the 2023.3 version on Mullvad's Github and installed that after a purge and restart, and the same problem persists.
I can't figure this out.

Thank you. That reverted me back to 2023.3, and it works. However, this probably means that I need to update MX to the current version, which is 21 I believe, so that I can update Mullvad.

Mullvad version 2023.3 is still officially supported by Mullvad, even though it is not the most recent stable release. If you do not want to update to the latest MX update, it would not be an issue. That way you can wait until MX 23 is officially released if you want a new MX version. Mullvad normally announced on their blog post when they reture offical support for versions. You can also enter using CLI
and it will return if the version you are using is still offically supported,

If in the CLI you you use
it returns
Code: Select all
Current version : 2023.3
Is supported : true
Suggested upgrade : 2023.4
Latest stable version: 2023.4
Notice Mullvad 2023.3 is still officially supported. Also, mullvad officially still supports older versions for about a year. They announce via their blog when old versions are no longer officially supported. 2023.4 is the most recent version, but other versions are still officially supported.
