I installed Fedora 43 with this command distrobox create -i registry.fedoraproject.org/fedora:43 --init --additional-packages "systemd" -n test then I installed Mullvad VPN with these commands sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile=https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo and sudo dnf install mullvad-vpn. Once it’s finished, I tried to type mullvad status but it gives an error message
Error: Management RPC server or client error
Caused by:
0: transport error
1: No such file or directory (os error 2)
2: No such file or directory (os error 2)
How to solve this issue ? I just want to use mullvad-cli


I use Bazzite, and I’ve had to install Mullvad manually using a local rpm package downloaded from their site. Works fine like that.
Only annoyance is that I have to repeat the process manually when the app updates, but there is always a banner saying a new version is available, and it takes like 2 min to remove the old version, install the new local package, and then reboot. Use rpm-ostree command to install/uninstall.
Edit: I guess it might be different on SteamOS given that it’s Arch based instead of Fedora… Not sure if it works in a distrobox.
