ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirements

A proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report

NordVPN installation appears to report a successful installation even when the installation is interrupted and the requires sudo authentication failsrevision 1 · captured 2026-09-28 21:24 UTC via poll

What's wrong?

If NordVPN is not installed then in the menu (windows + space), it shows the option to install directly from menu. When you choose to install via menu instead of package installer option, then terminal opens for installation, But if installation is cancelled instead of providing sudo password, it still continues even after saying sudo password is required.

This requires Nordvpn not to installed already

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the menu (windows + space). Type Nord, and choose to install
  2. Start the installation.
  3. When prompted for the sudo password, press Ctrl+C instead of entering the password.
  4. Observe the installer output.

Actual behavior

The installer continues executing subsequent steps even though sudo commands fail:

Installing NordVPN...
[sudo] password for omarchy:
sudo: a password is required
Enabling NordVPN daemon...
[sudo] password for omarchy:
sudo: a password is required
Adding user to nordvpn group...
[sudo] password for omarchy:
sudo: a password is required

It then reports:

NordVPN installed! After reboot, run 'nordvpn login' to authenticate.

However, the installation was not completed successfully.

In my case, systemd also ended up with active NordVPN-related units while their unit files were missing, resulting in:

Loaded: not-found (Reason: Unit nordvpnd.service not found.)
Active: active (running)

For example, a dangling symlink was present:

/etc/systemd/system/default.target.wants/nordvpnd.service
-> /usr/lib/systemd/system/nordvpnd.service

but /usr/lib/systemd/system/nordvpnd.service did not exist.

Expected behavior

If the installation is interrupted or a required sudo command fails, the installer should:

  • Stop the installation.
  • Report that the installation failed/interrupted.
  • Avoid reporting "NordVPN installed!".
  • Ideally clean up any systemd units/symlinks that were created before the failure.

I can provide the relevant command output and logs if needed.
