Arch Linux User Repository

@zuzavo Yes, generally speaking it's a bad idea but currently the pangox-compat package is not there so I added the symlink to the package. It's an ancient library but nevertheless I don't know why it was removed

I've read in the forums that link and change the names of the libs isn't a good idea. Soon or late the whole thing will break in any update. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151082 (related to another issue...)

I did not have pangox-compat nor pango-anydesk installed, updated to latest anydesk-bin and could not start it due to

anydesk: error while loading shared libraries: libpangox-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As proposed by israuor, symlinking the "missing" shared object solved it:

sudo -i cd /usr/lib ln -s libpangoxft-1.0.so libpangox-1.0.so.0

My question is only how the package could avoid that manual interaction.

My guess is that the the anydesk pango compat package did leave traces. I'm adding it to the conflicts

Like @israuor I also get the same error. I removed pango-anydesk and anydesk-bin and reinstalled them at the same order, and it is still happening.

Looking at libpangox libraries I do have on my machine:

/usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0.4400.7 /usr/lib32/libpangoxft-1.0.so /usr/lib32/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 /usr/lib32/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0.4400.7 /usr/share/anydesk/files/pango-1.43.0-2/libpangoxft-1.0.so /usr/share/anydesk/files/pango-1.43.0-2/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 /usr/share/anydesk/files/pango-1.43.0-2/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0.4300.0

when starting the executable I get following error:

'' anydesk: error while loading shared libraries: libpangox-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Using archlinux with xfce and also gnome. Am I missing something?

After switching from anydesk-debian to anydesk-bin it needs a lot of time to start. Any reasons and fixes for this?

Since the pangox-compat dependency has been removed, I had to create a link in /usr/lib in order to get the latest update running, like so: sudo ln -s libpangoxft-1.0.so libpangox-1.0.so.0

For some reason I am able to connect to my phone but not other computers. Tried using both -bin and -debian and both had the same issue (on 5.5.4 and 5.5.5). When connecting to another PC that has a set password it asks for the password 3 times before disconnecting saying "Connection closed". If anyone has had this issue before please let me know. Thanks!

@D3SOX On my laptop the anydesk-bin package works. So it has something to do with my PC and not your package. Perhaps some dependency in a wrong version. I will see if I can find out.
