In order to get rid of annoying update messages at startup, go into Tools > Options > Interface > Start. Disable the 'Check for latest version" and 'Auto download updates' options.

Also disable 'Enable plugin update checking' in Tools > Options > Plugins > Plugin Update.

Thank you, exuvo.

Unfortunately the AUR was recently made read-only due to malicious incidents, so I cannot publish the fix at the moment.

I think your last change of changing a mv to a sed with > breaks the file permissions. My /usr/bin/biglybt is no longer executable and needed a chmod +x

Thank you, zkm2fw. The desktop file is being converted to unix line endings, too now.

Because nothing changes for existing users I kept the pkgrel=1.

Get it sed -i 's/\r//''ed.

Or maybe consider dos2unix instead of manual sed?

@guglovich Select default option 1) jdk-openjdk when prompted.

Icon doesn't seem to work on the task manager on Wayland by default. Copied the .desktop icon from /usr/share/applications/ to ~/.local/share/applications/ to fix it on my system.

Thank you, djo0012, I've added 'unzip' to the dependencies.

djo0012 commented on 2026-01-31 03:17 (UTC)

Missing a dependency on "unzip", this was the cause of error "SWT check failed with: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display"
