Arch Linux User Repository

@dillard I've changed the build step as upstream's : npm run release, and there was something wrong with my network, so I don't know the real reason. I've met the same problem as you.

I chmod-ed /opt/flashpoint-launcher to be 755 then launched the application. With no other configuration, I see "Total: -1" on the bottom right and any attempt to search for games results in an infinite loading screen. I changed Flashpoint Path in the config section to be /opt/flashpoint-launcher, but this didn't change anything. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

@Facni Thanks for you feedback,fixed it.

-> could not find all required packages: flashpoint

Make sure after installing this package that you run the command "flashpoint" without sudo/root permissions. You can do this if flashpoint does not show up in your app launcher/apps.

Side note: If running flashpoint gives you something like /opt/flashpoint/xxx is denied, you have to run your file manager as sudo then nagivate to the /opt/flashpoint folder and change all the READ & WRITE permissions to your username instead of root. You could also run "sudo flashpoint", but I have not tried this.

@DumbInACan I'm in China,and there was always a problem that I can't visit github normally.So I've tried to use npm/pnpm/yarn to build the package.Finally,the mirror of yarn seems to be good,so I've changed the builder to yarn.The below code was what I've run in the terminal.And everything got well.

$ cd flashpoint-launcher/src/launcher-12.0.0/dist/linux-unpacked/

@DumbInACan If there wasn't any error when you build the package,you would be like this: https://github.com/FlashpointProject/launcher/actions/runs/5530322291/job/14975540810 .

@zxp19821005 I think I didn't explain my situation well. I was able to install the package. makepkg -si completed and reinstalled flashpoint-launcher-12.0.0-1 on my system. when I run flashpoint-launcher I get the error I posted before

$ flashpoint-launcher
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process

The program itself doesn't exit. I have to Ctrl + C to regain the terminal. I wasn't sure where the running program might write its logs

If you use paru,open a terminal,and run:

cd ~/.cache/paru/clone/flashpoint-launcher
updpkgsums
makepkg -si

If you use yay,open a terminal,and run:

cd ~/.cache/yay/flashpoint-launcher
updpkgsums
makepkg -si

Then you can see the extra logs.

@zxp19821005 I really appreciate your help! Where could I find the logs that will help me troubleshoot?
