Does anyone use Proton software (Mail)?

[Zlinux1]

Hello,
I’m using proton vpn with the packages in the repos and that works fine.

But i don’t find proton bridge mail in the repos.
So i have downloaded it from proton website and … have dependancies problems :

erreur : Dépendances requises :
        dejavu-sans-fonts est nécessaire pour protonmail-bridge-3.25.0-1.x86_64
        libEGL est nécessaire pour protonmail-bridge-3.25.0-1.x86_64

Has everyone used this package for Thunderbird and has this dependancies problems ?

Yes, i know : this package is not for Opensuse (i have read this but you should always hold out hope that it will work out anyway )

@Zlinux1

and has this dependancies problems ?

Everybody who tries to use this package outside of Ubuntu LTS and Fedora Worksation. Proton mail bridge only supports these two distributions officially. As the rpm is specifically build for Fedora, the required package names and dependencies can not be fullfilled on other distributions.

That is a bad news.
As it exists a package for proton vpn, can we hope to have a package for proton brige mail in the future ?

You need to ask Proton. It is a company which comercially distributes this products. Not related in any way to openSUSE so nobody here can tell you.

[Zlinux1]

Yes, i know but :
Proton vpn is in the repo and works. I suppose it will be packaged by opensuse.
The proton vpn package downloaded from proton web site don’t work with Opensuse.
That’s why i ask for a future package of proton bridge mail issued bye opensuse.

Hi, I use Proton Mail & Bridge on Tumbleweed & it works fine for me on both Evolution & Thunderbird. I seem to be using version 3.25 which seems to be the latest stable release. according to them: https://proton.me/download/bridge/stable_releases.html

Maybe 3.25.0-1 is some kind of beta release which could be causing your issues?

[Zlinux1]

No idea.
The required dependancies have another name in Tumbleweed.

On checking I had most of those on my system I think. Also mine is from Flathub so maybe that makes a difference in relation to the dependencies - see another discussion on here.

[Zlinux1]

I hadn’t thought to check Discover!

I installed all the packages (bridge, pass).

I tried launching Proton Bridge, and it works for me. (I didn’t go all the way through because I don’t have a Proton Mail account yet.)

Thanks for your help!

You’re welcome - I think you need to be paying Mail customer to use the Bridge.

yes, i know.
i’m for the moment with Nordvpn but I’m thinking about switching to Proton in November, when my contract with Nordvon expires.
