Arch Linux User Repository

After not seeing any highlighting by installing this way, I tried the Flatpak version by installing Discover etc. After all that, it still doesn't show any highlighting. This application just doesn't work on my system.

I can install and run it, but it doesn't highlight any errors. Also, as mentioned way back on February 20, 2025, "1) this app tries to set background, which is not possible outside a sandbox, and 2) closing this app started from terminal, makes the cursor unresponsive, requiring a Ctrl+C to release the terminal."

I tried updating it by editing the PKGBUILD setting pkgver=1.4 pkgrel=1, deleting fix-metainfo-syntax.diff from the source list, and running makepkg -o followed by updpkgsums. The resulting PKGBUILD worked in that I could build, install, and run the package. It still won't highlight any errors though.

I run into the same issue as Marek72.

I am not able to install eloquent. It aborts with the following error:

Thanks for the headsup. 1.1-2 fixes that, automatically starting languagetool.

Looks more patching is needed because 1) this app tries to set background, which is not possible outside a sandbox, and 2) closing this app started from terminal, makes the cursor unresponsive, requiring a Ctrl+C to release the terminal.

@rafaelff: The command to run the Languagetool server is meant for the Flatpak and needs to be changed. See the languagetool.js
