Arch Linux User Repository

Hey @mrcyjanek, unfortunately no more details, what I wrote before was the a command line start, but it does NOT start! Neither in the home folder nor in the root folder is any log file. The previous version worked, but since this update it doesn't. I see some sort of a frame for a second, that's it. The AUR version is simply a nightmare.

Some time ago it started only when those commands were applied after an update, which a user once suggested, either here or on Github, can't remember and if I didn't apply those once Cake scanned the whole blockchain, not from the time I used it last.

sudo execstack -c /opt/cake-wallet-bin/lib/monero_libwallet2_api_c.so sudo execstack -c /opt/cake-wallet-bin/lib/wownero_libwallet2_api_c.so

However, those ones seem to be obsolete now.

Can't get rid of the feeling that the Linux version, especially the AUR one is a stepchild of the project.

Hey Masalababa - this is normal cake wallet startup logs, got any more details?

Cake Wallet on Linux (Manjaro) became an absolute mess !! So many bugs ever since (greetings to Vik) !!

The flag wanted the update to version 6.4.4. However, that version does not have the binaries for Gnu/Linux on the releases page. The newest available version for Gnu/Linux is 6.3.0. This PKGBUILD does not build from source and depends on them.

If you manage to get a PKGBUILD that build from source I would be grateful. I tried it in the beginning. The build process for Cake Wallet is a horrible mess.

Why do you pin the package to an old version and decline the out-of-date flag?

Install failed with the same error encountered by @joethelion.

I had to fix the PKGBUILD for it to work, since the src/ folder tree does not match ${pkgver}. Here is the patch :

Launching the app as is also results in a segfault as reported upstream : https://github.com/cake-tech/cake_wallet/issues/3515 .

Launching with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0 cake_wallet fixes it.

@joethelion, you are probably using a cached version. Do rm -r ~/.cache/paru/clone/cake-wallet-bin/ and paru --Suy --devel again.

The build fails on CachyOS with this line:

cp: cannot stat '/home/XXXX/.cache/paru/clone/cake-wallet-bin/src/Cake_Wallet_v6.3.2_Linux/*': No such file or directory

Thanks!

commands should give back something. Showing nothing means breez SDK not included at all in the binary. Without breez sdk lightning wont work. For testing purpose i did remove the AUR package and did install the flatpak version from https://github.com/cake-tech/cake_wallet/releases/download/v6.0.2/Cake_Wallet_v6.0.2_Linux.flatpak but having the same issue.

Yes, the https://github.com/breez/breez-sdk-liquid could be the solution. In the next binary you should add it, the 6.0.3 on https://github.com/cake-tech/cake_wallet/releases page is already out as pre-release.
