@zgulg. Sorry I only saw your comment now. I've been really busy the last couple weeks. I have to look into it. Don't know if I will have time for it before end of August though.

For info, I still had this issue: "The remote archive doesn't match the expected checksum".

After some researchs, I found other people having the same issue with yarn. For info, this issue is coming from /tmp being mount with noexec flag on my system. I had to remount it without this flag in order to work.

@scientress, do you think there is something that could be done on companinon packaging to solve this while keeping the noexec flag on /tmp folder of the system? This is the only package I got this issue on Arch.

sorry update to the new release will take another day or two due to the change in how udev rules are handled in the new version

@scientress even better! Thanks too for the speedy response.

I was very busy and sadly missed the 4.2.2 release. Versino 4.2.3 was just released and I updated the package to it.

danievdm commented on 2026-01-17 17:41 (UTC)

Hoping we get the v4.2.2 package update soon as v4.2.1 broke all my buttons that launch apps. Apparently Bitfocus reverted that part of the update so hopefully v4.2.2 restores the functionality.

v3.3.1 built fine for me on Manjaro. But I see 2 days back v3.4.0 was released by Bitfocus, so hopefully there is an update soon here on the AUR package.

I seem to be unable to build this package. electron-builder always bails due to an issue with "afterSign". Downgrading from 3.3.1 to 3.2.2 version of the package (which built fine a day ago on my x86 machine) did not help. The companion-x.x.x/electron-output/ directory is never populated.

Done in 219.14s.

Not sure if this is an upstream issue, or a packaging or an arm64 issue. Any ideas?

----- EDIT ------

electron-builder uses a different output directory for arm64 builds, and the package() function is not aware of this. This change makes it build the package.

Maybe it's possible to build in some CPU architecture handling?

/etc/udev/rules.d/50-companion.rules:31 Unknown group 'plugdev', ignoring.

plugdev is Ubuntu smell and does not exist in Arch Linux. Since you set mode to 666, the devices are accessible by everyone anyway... Definitely an upstream bug since you removed 50-companion.rules. But you could do some patch magic for the next release :-)

Edit: Created upstream issue: https://github.com/bitfocus/companion/issues/2635
