Tray icon is not working for me on v3.0.53-3. It just shows three dots that does nothing when clicking on it. Using GNOME with AppIndicator Support extension.

When trying to mount the network drive, I get similar errors to @Cyb3rKo and @sripwoud, but instead of failing to find rclone inside electron43 dir, it errors for /usr/lib/filen-desktop.

So I fixed with a similar workaround:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/filen-desktop/app.asar.unpacked/bin/rclone
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/rclone /usr/lib/filen-desktop/app.asar.unpacked/bin/rclone/rclone-linux-amd64

edit: nevermind, it just seems to take quite long time :D

It seems to get stuck on Electron:

@Fumble @Cyb3rKo @Roknauta Thans for your feedback, fixed it.

Same error here as @Fumble

Cyb3rKo commented on 2026-07-27 19:42 (UTC)

Hello, Since the last update, I get this error trying to launch Filen:

Error launching app  
Unable to find Electron app at /usr/lib/filen-desktop/app.asar

Cannot find module '/usr/lib/filen-desktop/app.asar'

Content of the folder: 

ls /usr/lib/filen-desktop/
apparmor-profile  app.asar.unpacked  app-update.yml  package-type  public

@sripwoud Thanks for your feedback, fixed it.

Confirming @Cyb3rKo's report — same failure on filen-desktop-bin 3.0.53-1 with electron43 43.1.1.

This package runs on system electron43, that resolves to /usr/lib/electron43/resources/,
and the app expects the binary at: /usr/lib/electron43/resources/app.asar.unpacked/bin/rclone/rclone-linux-amd64

But the PKGBUILD installs it at:
/usr/lib/filen-desktop/app.asar.unpacked/bin/rclone-linux-amd64 -> /usr/bin/rclone

Until the package is fixed, my workaround was:

sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib/electron43/resources/app.asar.unpacked/bin/rclone
sudo ln -sf /usr/bin/rclone /usr/lib/electron43/resources/app.asar.unpacked/bin/rclone/rclone-linux-amd64
