Trying to use Config-manager
Hey guys, I'm trying to add a Mullvad repo but getting sub-command not found when using config-manager. Trying to install dnf-core-plugins, tells me its already installed. Can anyone assist?

This worked for the op for getting Mullvad vpn installed.
I made a distrobox to see what the
sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://repository.mullvad.net/rpm/stable/mullvad.repo did, so you don't need to.
You can make the repo yourself withsudo nano /etc/yum.repos.d/mullvad.repo fill the file with this content
{CTRL+X} {Y} {Enter} to save the file
rpm-ostree install mullvad-vpn to install the VPN (note that this will take a long time to run)
You'll need to reboot before you can use it, you might need to enable and start the service after the reboot
Is there any reason, out of curiosity, that config-manager isnt working?
Really appreciate your reply though, I'll do it manually
I think it's just not preinstalled with rpm-ostree
Surely it should be packaged with dnf-core-plugins? I saw it in the package list being installed. Ahh well, at least theres manual workarounds 😄
[ Directory '/etc/yum.repo.d' does not exist ]
This still ok?
that directory should definitely should exist
It's a pretty newish install. I've not had time to mess about with it so that does raise eyebrows 🥲
typo in my script, fixed it now. 'repos' and not 'repo'
That did it. Thank you kind sir
Cool. 🙂 now let's see if the VPN actually works
Will let you know
I've noticed it takes a while to write ostree commit. Stays there for a while
yeah it needs to make a new deployment, so it takes a long time. typically it's the only way to install VPN software that needs a lot of access
No it hasn't worked. At least the App isnt:
I got it 😛
sudo systemctl start mullvad-daemon
I was about to paste that 🙂
Will I need to do that each restart or will it do this automagically? If not is there anything I can do to automate it?
I think you need to enable the service for it to autostart
sudo systemctl enable mullvad-daemon.service
I've updated the answer with additional information around enabling and updating the serviceLush, thanks for all your help
Roll on Nvidia drivers and I'll be away!
You are welcome :).
