Arch Linux User Repository

@muflone , for now every app in AUR is providing binary based package to avoid those annoying compiling steps, so why not change this package and make it based on already Linux 64bits compiled binary ?

There is an error in line 101 of PKGBUILD: wrong permissions of the .desktop file are set. Desktop file should not have an execution permission ("install -m 644 ..." should suffice).

It can't open a URL of a PDF doc in my KDE desktop.

KDE 5.81.0 / Plasma 5.21.4

I tried to find the log in terminal. This is the error message when I click the link in PDF.

kde-open5: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libQt5WaylandClient.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN20QPlatformIntegration7destroyEv, version Qt_5_PRIVATE_API

Dose anyone know how to solve it?

If you include the version byte of the header in your grep string you only get valid 7z files.

grep --only-matching --byte-offset --binary --text -P '7z\xBC\xAF\x27\x1C\x00\x03'

Save file with caution: foxit reader may delete your pdf files when you want to save the file after taking notes. And foxit reader for Linux is no longer maintained.

Currently, due to human resources limited,Our developers have stopped implementing new feature for Foxit Reader for Linux. We will inform you once get any updates. tks

Good news is:

We will suggest our product management team to produce a brand-new version of Foxit Reader for Linux which will be based on our existing Foxit Reader for windows desktop to be a substitute version of current one.

@tornado99 This replaces the Monospace font everywhere in the system. To limit this to Foxit-Reader, add this to the fontconfig::

<test name="prgname">
<string>FoxitReader</string>
</test>

Even though I applied Static_rocket's fix, it's still not working. It cannot find a missing dependency but I really don't know why this happens: ==> Making package: gstreamer0.10-base 0.10.36-13 (Thu 03 Dec 2020 13:57:38 CET) ==> Checking runtime dependencies... ==> Checking buildtime dependencies... ==> Installing missing dependencies... error: target not found: gstreamer0.10>=0.10.36 ==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies. ==> Missing dependencies: -> gstreamer0.10>=0.10.36 ==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

On my desktop it starts with This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "wayland". suggesting it's shipping its own version of Qt without Wayland support. Could it be patched to use the system version of Qt?

I found a solution to the ugly font issue. Just put the following in your fonts.config. Shouldn't affect the rest of your system unless you're using Droid Sans anywhere. In KDE the system settings monospace setting overrides this for most other apps. Still not great though as the size is too small. <match target="pattern"> <test qual="any" name="family"> <string>monospace</string> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="family" binding="same"> <string>Droid Sans</string> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <test name="family"> <string>Droid Sans</string> </test> <edit mode="assign" name="embolden"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match>

@dschense 's solution worked for me too! Thanks! If yay complains unable to find gstreamer0.10-base, use the "-a" option:

yay -G -a gstreamer0.10-base

@dschense 's solution worked for me as well! Thank you!

@dschense's solution worked for me! Thanks a lot!

tried method mentioned by @dschense but did not work

gave and error

to get it running you have to download the gstreamer0.10-base package and edit the PKGBUILD file

yay -G gstreamer0.10-base 

edit the PKGBUILD file and add

find . -exec sed -i -e 's/\\#include/#include/g' {} \;

right before the make command in the build function

after this do

makepkg -si

and after build and install completed, run the yay -S foxitreader again.

I tried it and it's working, @freaz , thx!!

There are comments on the gst-plugins-base aur page with instructions from Static_Rocket to hack the PKGBUILD file to fix the current problem. It works if you can figure it out.

Same problem as phiL0co and Archanfel80HUN.

The gstreamer0.10-base dependency fails during the build of gst-plugins-base-0.10.36.

I'm having the same compile problem with gstreamer. Any way this can be circumvented?

The dependency gstreamer0.10-base no longer build. Its failed to compile, therefore foxitreader not installed.

@hivinay

the defect is not possible anymore as the EULA was included into the package itself

These are the steps I used to upgrade with the eula.html error, in case this helps anyone.

Get the hash:

yay -G foxitreader (or use another method to download the AUR package)
cd foxitreader
sha256 eula.html

As of this comment, it is 4ca287e0c47f46df4185be7ff273c0cced304672ebc750aad6236590e1a772e6.

Replace the second sha256 hash (currently line 21) in the PKGBUILD file in this folder with the hash that you found above.

Then, run makepkg -si to install.

this is becoming so irritating. The Foxit website keeps changing the EULA for some reasons, unknown to me. It just changed three times today.

Therefore I'm incorporating the license file in the source package

It should be fixed once and forever.

The suggestions here are not working for me, so I uninstalled foxitreader,

yay -R foxitreader

.... and cloned the repo:

$ git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/foxitreader.git
  ...
$ cd foxitreader/
$ makepkg -si
  ...
  eula.html ... FAILED
  ...
$ sha256sum eula.html
  467cc4b897c7e5158592d442937ea4a3cef36092a81ba7d82da04ddf5c5a47be  eula.html
$ vim PKGBUILD 
  ... ## changed 2nd checksum per code above [467 ... 47be] and comments below
$ makepkg -si
  ... ## success
$

Update

Thanks to @Muflone, this now also updates in yay. I needed to manually delete eula.html from ~/.cache/yay/foxitreader/, but thereafter my normal yay -Syu update process appeared to update that foxitreader installation via @Muflone's updated code. :-)

So, while I installed from git (detailed above), I believe the normal install from AUR should now run without issue. :-D

Many thanks to @Muflone for addressing this eula.html annoyance; much appreciated! :-)

I also confirm @Alireza's solution works perfect. @Alireza nice mate, thx a lot.

Update ends up like this:

Please update.

The digest of eula.html is altered again. Please update thanks.

it was just like you said @Alireza. I replaced the sha256sum of the eula.html with the provided checksum in PKGBUILD and the installation proceeded nicely.:) thanx mate

Hi guys run nano PKGBUILD and then find sha256sum= change the second line to 7281f7b2933c4ca3fdb2aa91f695522ba8cb9f781cf93b71e74c4d684093d426 and you pass eula.html :)

if you got error again, run sha256sum eula.html to get sha256sum and replaced it (I said above)

@christianlupus, You are right, now is working for me too.

@jester I tried it and it succeeded. Remove the eula.html file from your folder and it will get redownloaded.

eula.html still continue with the wrong checksum error, at least for me

@naraesk I've just checked and the EULA checksum currently matches. Try to download the file again

They're boring now.. I'll include a copy of the EULA in the package in the next update

@Muflone: 2.4.4.0911-2 fails with wrong checksum of eula.html for me

EULA checksum fixed

@thehungryturnip: This is not easily possible. The problem is that the package uses a precompiled binary that is already linked against version 0.10 of gstreamer. If you like another linking, you need to compile yourself. I am not sure if this is even possible as it is a custom license. Thus it is not guaranteed to be open source...

Curious if this AUR be updated to use the "gstreamer" in the repository instead of the AUR "gstreamer0.10-base"?

It seems like "gstreamer0.10-base" not only hasn't been updated since 2017, but also has another AUR dependency that hasn't been updated in a long time.

Sorry if this a stupid question.

I'll update the package in the weekend. In the meanwhile you can simply edit the PKGBUILD, find the line 21 with sha256sums=('6b579bd4ecdf86f7e70a009886c511da0b5085b831b0d6afc42442cabc249b90' and replace 6b579bd4ecdf86f7e70a009886c511da0b5085b831b0d6afc42442cabc249b90 with SKIP

Next you can build the package again.

@argamanza: First download the patch somewhere and then go to the AUR git repo you cloned (where the PKGBUILD file is located) using your console. Then you simply issue patch -Np1 -i /tmp/foxit.patch (or whatever location you put the patch file). It should patch the PKGBUILD file (single line of output). After that you can build the package regularly. Simply put makepkg and install after successful build using pacman -U foxitreader-...... You can install and build in one step using makepkg -i.

@christianlupus would love to learn how can i use this patch in the installation process, i'm not quite sure and don't want to break things.

Using this patch, I was able to get the package running: https://gist.github.com/christianlupus/6a2203c8058dab1a49ed426a3a966daf

@DearVolt: I was getting the exact same issue (since yesterday or so), using my regular pacaur -Syu update command. Try running (once) yaourt -S foxitreader and accept defaults at prompts. This resolved the issue, for me.

Replace the second sha256 checksum in the PKGBUILD with

if your eula.html is failing during build process.

Thanks for your work! As previously asked, please remove application/octet-stream mime type, which is irrelevant.

Experiencing the same problem mentioned by @birthstalker : UI fonts is monospaced.

The foxit reader UI font is somehow falling back to monospace font. How can I fix this issue? Screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/cf8id

@RemoteAdmin the libqgtk2.so plugin is not required to run foxitreader. It's only used to apply GTK+ appearance if gtk2 is available. If you lack the gtk2 package then you'll get the QT file chooser even if you use a GTK+ base desktop environment. If you have gtk2 installed then you'll have the GTK+ file chooser.

By the way I've found more missing dependencies, I'll add gtk2 to optdepends

@Muflone Sorry for bothering again but is there a reason for not including gtk2? It is required by libqgtk2.so or am I missing something?

/usr/lib/foxitreader/platformthemes/libqgtk2.so needs libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0

@gourdcaptain is right. There are a few dependencies missing.

I have run readelf -d against the elf files in this package and it turns out that the following dependencies are missing:

'qt5-xmlpatterns' 'libxslt' 'gstreamer0.10-base' 'fcitx-qt5' 'gtk2'

I've replaced the qt-installer script with a beautiful hack from @phiresky Removed the qt5 dependency as it uses the shipped version (again)

@Skycoder42 fixed, thank you

@Skycoder42 Seeing as pacaur is now unmaintained I would suggest you choose a different method. To help the maintainer could you uninstall this package built with pacaur and construct it manually by downloading the pkgbuild into a folder on desktop or home folder and manually build it to see if you get the same error?

The current version (rev 5) has an invalid path in the system desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Foxit Reader
...
Exec=foxitreader %F
Exec=/tmp/pkg-build/foxitreader/src/foxitreader-installer/FoxitReader.sh %F

The second Exec statement causes the problem. /tmp/pkg-build is the folder where the package was packaged by in my case pacaur. Please fix that part of the desktop file. For rev. 4, the second line was simply not there, I guess it's simply a missed leftover from the installer script.

It took me a lot of time to fix this package.

Finally dropped the qt-installer-framework dependency (broken?) and replaced with a qt-installer custom script

There're actually two issues:

1. if you build this package using your user (no chroot) then you'll have a duplicate desktop file in your ~/.local/share/applications folder
2. print doesn't work for me, crashing application. This is somehow related to the QT version

Hi, I got the same problem like other guys.

[0] Warning: QFile::at: Cannot set file position 26977808 Cannot register in-binary resource. ==> 错误： 在 build() 中发生一个错误。 正在放弃... ==> 错误：Makepkg 无法构建 foxitreader.

if you can help me? thanks!

Hi, I am experiencing systematic "segmentation fault/core dumped" crashes whenever I try printing with Foxitreader. Has anyone else had the same issue ?

Thanks

I got the same problem.

[0] Warning: QFile::at: Cannot set file position 26977808 Cannot register in-binary resource.

qt-installer-framework is installed. Qt version is qt5-base 5.10.0-2. Manual build with makepkg -sf does not work either.

this problem seems to be related to the qt version.. as qt-installer-framework compiled against v5.9.3 will not report errors.. as arch qt5 version is now 5.10.0..

Hi! Same problem here:

[0] Warning: QFile::at: Cannot set file position 26977808 Cannot register in-binary resource.

@Muflone I've exactly the same error as nplatis with makepkg -sf. I don't have any idea of where this comes from. Can you help me?

@nplatis I don't know, never seen that message before. try to build the package manually using makepkg -sf (or better with extra-x86_64-build)

A receive an error when trying to install this package (using pacaur): After "Starting build()..." I get:
