Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/issues/1337

Describe the bug

Can't connect to VPN server from Arch linux, no issue when connection from android.

I read https://docs.amnezia.org/troubleshooting/error-codes/#error-103-amneziaservicenotrunning but there is not instructions for linux, this is why we need smart people to make AUR package #988.

How do I start background service on Arch linux?

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

AmneziaVPN
See 103 error

Log files

IpcClient::init failed
Error occurred when init IPC client
Started AmneziaVPN version 4.8.2.3 e7b2571
Arch Linux (x86_64)
SSL backend: OpenSSL 3.4.0 22 Oct 2024

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

OS: Arch linux
Version: 6.12.7.arch1-1

Server (please complete the following information):

OS: Debian bookworm 12.7 x86_64

Additional context

All other functionally works.

I think it was an issue with my custom configuration, worked fine on fresh install.

Had to manually add service (https://github.com/amnezia-vpn/amnezia-client/blob/dev/deploy/data/linux/AmneziaVPN.service) and not it works!
