List is incomplete in GUI

[jagadeesh-sudhakaraiah]

On the first install everything was fine. After few days, countries list seems incomplete. I can connect to the countries that are not listed on the GUI via CLI. List doesn't extended beyond Norway. Everything else works great. Please let me know if additional details are required.

OS: Ubuntu 20.04
Kernel: 5.4.0-42-generic
pip version: 20.0.2
python3 version: 3.8.2

Describe the bug
ProtonVPN country list is incomplete in GUI.

To Reproduce
I'm not sure as to what caused the reduction of the list.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to ProtonVPN GUI client.
2. Scroll down till the end.
3. End of the list is Norway.

Screenshots

Even the search doesn't include all correct results,

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (5.4.0-42-generic)
• pip version: 20.0.2
• python3 version: 3.8.2

Additional context
Connection to servers not listed in GUI is still possible and the status is correctly displayed both in GUI and tray if the tunnel is established via CLI. Please let me know if additional details are required.

Thank you for the update @jagadeesh-sudhakaraiah

Yes indeed it is a strange behavior and I was also able to replicate this. I'll look closer into this and see if I find what causes this unexpected behavior.

[jagadeesh-sudhakaraiah]

Oh cool. Thanks for looking into it. Please let me know if any additional information is required.

Hi @jagadeesh-sudhakaraiah ,

I think I know what might be causing this. Upon executing protonvpn-gui I'm getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/linux_gui/presenters/dashboard_presenter.py", line 384, in populate_server_list
    flag = GdkPixbuf.Pixbuf.new_from_file_at_size(self.dashboard_service.get_flag_path(country), 15,15)
gi.repository.GLib.Error: g-file-error-quark: Failed to open file “/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/linux_gui/resources/img/flags/small/Peru.png”: No such file or directory (4)

and the list of countries is incomplete.

As a temporary workaround, I did

sudo cp /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/linux_gui/resources/img/flags/small/Unknown.png \
    /usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/linux_gui/resources/img/flags/small/Peru.png

and it's now displaying all countries :) Hope that helps!

There are 200 jpg images for flags under linux_gui/resources/img/flags/large, but there are only 81 png images for flags under linux_gui/resources/img/flags/small, which is very interesting. Another interesting part is about the file name: small images is using country name, but large images is using country code.

Also found another inconsistency: there are 250 countries in linux-cli's country_codes.py, but there are only 200 jpg images for flags under linux_gui/resources/img/flags/large.

Upon executing your workaround, I got this:
cp: cannot stat '/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages/linux_gui/resources/img/flags/small/Unknown.png': No such file or directory

@Papigoe most probably your Python version is different than example given. Type python3 --version. You'll get something like Python 3.6.9. Replace both python3.8 occurrences in the cp paths with python3.6 (according to your actual version major.minor).

Or go to that directory in one command and copy file in another:

cd /usr/local/lib/python`python3 --version | grep -oE '3\..'`/dist-packages/linux_gui/resources/img/flags/small
sudo cp Unknown.png Peru.png

[Papigoe]

I don't know how to do that, so I'll either just stick with the countries I can see, or just use CLI version. For the record, I'm using Python 3.8.5. Thank you for your response!

@Papigoe

You could also try something like

sudo find /usr/local/lib -name linux_gui -type d

You should get the first part of the path.

Ditto. I am only seeing A through N listed in the GUI. The last available country is Norway. Using the terminal is the only way to access O through Z.
