Gearlever targets flatpak usage so building it outside of flatpak can introduce bugs. Because of this, please make ABSOLUTELY sure any bug you experience is because of gearlever itself before opening an issue on the upstream github. Any bugs you experience with this package, please let me know and I will fix it asap. Consider visiting the upstream url if you would like to support the developer!

@TuxDeluxe thank you that fixed it. Command (taken from the GitHub) in case any one else needs it:

paru -Sy --rebuild python-desktop-entry-lib python-ftputil

@JamesMowery I had to rebuild both python-desktop-entry-lib and python-ftputil to get it to work. Someone on cachyos on the gearlever github had that issue too and a rebuild looks like it fixed it.

@fiftydinar I do indeed have that installed already.

@JamesMowery python-desktop-entry-lib dependency is listed in PKGBUILD. Check if it's installed.

I've started getting these errors when running Gear Lever. Was working fine for the past few months.

❯ gearlever
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/gearlever", line 43, in <module>
    from gearlever import main
  File "/usr/share/gearlever/gearlever/main.py", line 28, in <module>

  File "/usr/share/gearlever/gearlever/providers/providers_list.py", line 2, in <module>

  File "/usr/share/gearlever/gearlever/providers/AppImageProvider.py", line 9, in <module>
    from desktop_entry_lib import DesktopEntry as JdDesktopEntry
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'desktop_entry_lib'

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Can you please revert to dwarfs-bin, dwarfs fails to build for me. Edit: nvm, it was my issue, ignore

@Cpn-Neemo Some of the python packages look like they are struggling to build, or work on my end so might be related? Ill try and look into it but I'm not too sure what's going on.
