Arch Linux User Repository

@davidhaller: thanks for the answer I was aware of the unstable/testing/stable branch distinction but not the AUR/Arch vs. Manjaro limitation. Uninstall/reinstall did the trick and it now properly launch. Thank you for the quick follow-up!

@Delan: The package was updated to be compatible with the new electron version in Arch Linux. Since Manjaro lacks a few weeks behind Arch Linux, it still has the old electron version. I'm not familiar with Manjaro, but iirc they have an unstable/testing branch, maybe you could try a new electron version from here, or you could just build this package without the new patch and wait until Manjaro gets the new electron version.

(Please remember: Officially, the AUR only supports Arch Linux)

Hi, following the last update on Manjaro, Standard Notes doesn't launch anymore. I copied the logs here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dzfrz10z9plcb3f/standardnotes-desktop%203.0.12-2.txt?dl=0, I'll try the uninstall/reinstall and edit the comment with the outcomes.

Remark: I don't know if it's relevant, but during the last update, the GUI of Pamac disappeared (however the package manager was still running since I couldn't relaunch the update from another instance of Pamac). To properly update the two AUR packages (Tor and Standard Notes) I had to go through the CLI (no modification of build files). Log are provided here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/la8vh2bwpngmhk9/standardnotes-desktop%203.0.12-2%20-%20Pamac%20log%20file.txt?dl=0.

Dear @rjocoleman, thanks for submitting the patch. Nice one!

I added it to package release 2 of version 3.0.12. So from now on there shouldn't be a need for users to patch their AUR package locally.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused trough this messed-up package release. I normally test my builds locally before releasing a new package version. This one somehow glitched into the repo without proper testing. I blame this one on me even though its an upstream issue. The broken version shouldn't have made it into the AUR repo..

@rjocoleman: Thanks for the patch, great work!

Hello @FillFelle, thanks for this package! As of latest release it's crashing due to the build happening with a newer version of Electron than upstream currently supports.

There is a defensive PR upstream (https://github.com/standardnotes/desktop/pull/359) to deal with this but in the mean time here's a patch for this package that integrates it directly.

(git apply standardnotes-desktop-aur-deprecation.patch)

FYI I was getting the error

'prebuild-install' command not found

so I installed it using

npm i -g prebuild-install

not sure why this wasn't captured in the yarn installation process, but it works now.

@knokelmaat thanks for the quick feedback. I updated the PKGBUILD accordingly.

@FollFeile I can confirm that installing node-gyp did the trick. I had exactly the same error as tinhtruong and this solved it, so you can update the package! Thanks for the quick fix!

@tinhtruong - thank you for using this package! It looks like your setup is lacking the node-gyp package. Actually there is some discussion on the yarn side if this dependency should be handle by the application itself or by yarn.

https://github.com/yarnpkg/yarn/issues/3114

Nevertheless, could you try the following and see if it fixes your error?

sudo pacman -S node-gyp

Please let me know if this fixes the issue, if so I will update the package accordingly.
