Hello
As per the banner on GitHub Classroom stating that the Classroom Assistant app has been deprecated and to start using the GitHub Classroom CLI extension for GitHub CLI instead, I will no longer maintain this package, although it hasn't received official updates for quite a while to be honest.

Hello

classroom-assistant failed to start with the following error:

[63188:0413/232202.323096:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(439)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

One solution I found is to launch it (from the command line) as follows:

classroom-assistant --no-sandbox

RECOMMENDED CHANGES

Adding the line:

echo "MimeType=x-scheme-handler/x-github-classroom" >> $srcdir/usr/share/applications/classroom-assistant.desktop

at the beginning of the PKGBUILD package section solves the installation problem for me.

Also adding:

depends=('gnome-keyring')

would be good.

Hello,

I receive: Failed to build classroom-assistant

==> Validating source files with md5sums... classroom-assistant-2.0.2-1.x86_64.rpm ... FAILED ==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check! Failed to build classroom-assistant

I then downloaded the file and tried md5sum classroom-assistant-2.0.2-1.x86_64.rpm b78182dbbf701e30851549533dbd8002 classroom-assistant-2.0.2-1.x86_64.rpm and it is correct, so something else is wrong.

UPDATE:

Installed gnome-keyring and restarted and then I was able to install it.

After starting the app, however, connecting to github classroom, and trying downloading repos I get the message:

Unable to create io-slave. klauncher said: Unknown protocol 'x-github-classroom'.

Do you have similar experience? Do I need to install anything else for the app to work?

UPDATE:

Problem solved by adding:

MimeType=x-scheme-handler/x-github-classroom

at file: /usr/share/applications/classroom-assistant.desktop and running

sudo update-desktop-database

@FuzzyAtish Fixed, thanks!

Hello, I receive the following error when upgrading the package: Failure while downloading https://github.com/education/classroom-assistant/releases/download/v2.0.2/classroom-assistant-2.0.2.x86_64.rpm

Upon closer inspection within the repo, we can see that the actual address of the rpm is https://github.com/education/classroom-assistant/releases/download/v2.0.2/classroom-assistant-2.0.2-1.x86_64.rpm

So, in other words you're missing a -1 after the 2.0.2
