Arch Linux User Repository

Okay, I think I fixed the KDE icon problem this time.

Everything works on my end. Though, I'm still on KDE 4.14 (until kdeapps are ported to kf5), so I have nothing to say about Plasma 5.x I'd recommend OpenSUSE in Virtualbox, since Yast can switch the repos between Kde 4 and 5 pretty quickly.

I still had problems. However, I changed a few things in the package build and got mostly everything fixed: "" My custom build: # Maintainer: Uncle Hunto <unclehunto äτ ÝãΗ00 Ð0τ ÇÖΜ> pkgname=airvpn-bin pkgver=2.9.2 pkgrel=7 pkgdesc='AirVPN client "Eddie", stable version.

Next, pkgrel=7 for obvious reasons. Next, there are three problems: 1. This line in the original build: install -Dm644 "$srcdir/usr/share/pixmaps/AirVPN.png" "$pkgdir/usr/share/pixmaps/AirVPN.png" KDE does not recognize pixmaps icons if there aren't all lower case. I changed this to: install -Dm644 "$srcdir/usr/share/pixmaps/AirVPN.png" "$pkgdir/usr/share/pixmaps/airvpn.png" Now, airvpn.png is the pixmap 2. The desktop file was not executing because AirVPN.desktop is not all lowercase. Here is the original line of code: desktop-file-install -m 644 --add-category=KDE --dir "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/" "AirVPN.desktop" I changed it to: install -Dm644 "$srcdir/usr/share/applications/AirVPN.desktop" "$pkgdir/usr/share/applications/airvpn.desktop" 3. The .desktop file, when inspected with nano (or some other text editor) shows these contents: [Desktop Entry] Name=AirVPN Comment=AirVPN Exec=/usr/bin/airvpn Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/AirVPN.png Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=GNOME;Network This is problem because the Icon entry uses AirVPN.png, which will not work. Extract the package and go to /airvpn-bin/pkg/airvpn-bin/usr/share/applications/ and look at the .desktop file. Edit the Icon section to read: Icon=/usr/share/pixmaps/airvpn.png You'll see under KDE that the .desktop will now show the proper icon. I have no idea how to make this edit within a pkgbuild, but I will try to figure out how to do this. I will email you my edited pkgbuild.

I have re-written the .PKGBUILD to use a more traditional install method, now the .desktop file is installed with desktop-file-install using the "--add-category=KDE" flag, maybe this will fix the KDE problem. if anyone still has issues, let me know.

I get this error on launch: KDEInit could not launch '/usr/share/applications/airvpn.desktop' Also in the KDE launcher, the Airvpn icon is not showing up in the launcher, but the icon is available. I noticed that the filename is AirVPN.desktop, not airvpn.desktop I changed the file's name to airvpn.desktop, but to no avail. I made my own airvpn launcher and used the command "airvpn" to launch the program.

I fixed the sources, package should download for you now, let me know if you continue to have problems with it.
