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.

This requires JRE8 or higher, please change the dependency to java-runtime>=8.

Please add jna & libappindicator-gtk3 as optional dependencies for tray icon support. See line 35 in the installer script:

    echo "(lib)jna-java is needed to display a status bar icon.  However, BiglyBT will run fine without it."

During installation without jna installed:

jna.jar not found. Without it there will not be a status bar icon. Install with pacman -S jna (Y/n)

jna is in the AUR, so that won't work.

Please also add ttf-dejavu to optional dependencies: See line 54 - 57 in the installer script:

        # Arch Linux with no desktop needs a font for AWT & install4j to run
        if [ "${DESKTOP_SESSION}${XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP}${XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP}${GDMSESSION}" = "" ]; then
            PKG_JAVA="${PKG_JAVA} ttf-dejavu"
        fi

Thanks a lot, Det! Typo fixed.

Think you didn't mnean it like that? [ "_user_desktop" ]

Thank you, mexican. I've updated the PKGBUILD to autodetect the name of the 'Desktop' folder in the user's locale.

If someone has an idea how to prevent the java installer to create the two .desktop files in the user's filesystem, please let me know as I'd be more than happy to be able to remove that rm stuff.

Thank you for fixing it!

Trying to install on Manjaro with locale ES_MX gives an error, so I had to edit PKGBUILD line 35:

from "find ~/Desktop -name $pkgname.desktop -cmin -1 -exec rm -f {} +"

to "find ~/Escritorio -name $pkgname.desktop -cmin -1 -exec rm -f {} +"

Is there a way to do this automagically? Great job with this package by the way.

Saludos.

I'm getting error: GitHub_BiglyBT_Installer_1.5.0.0.sh ... FAILED ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!

Det commented on 2018-02-28 23:12 (UTC)

Because it isn't.

mbloms commented on 2018-02-28 23:12 (UTC)

Why don't you simply put java-environment as a makedep?

Det commented on 2018-02-28 23:02 (UTC)

That was gonna go way too hackery, so I just added some prompts for the user.

Det commented on 2018-02-28 22:28 (UTC)

It's with JRE as the default, and the correct installation still leaves the ~/.local .desktop in place..

Easiest "fix" would be to just sed the Exec= & Icon= on it as well.
