This package follows the Linux enabled fork releases here. Please do not flag it as OOD when the upstream Windows/OSX only Microsoft project updates but when the Linux enabled builds are available from @shiftkey. Thank you.

I had the same issue described here https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/github-desktop-bin#comment-853517. It can't login with github using the browser. It keeps loading forever.

Also I can confirm 2.9.6 works.

@nursoda It doesn't build with 17.x, upstream doesn't support it.

Note this is only a build time dependency so you don't have to have it on your system to run. Just use makechrootpkg to build this in a chroot (while of course supplying a built version of the AUR gconf dependency) then install it on your system with your preferred nodejs version as usual. If you can't be bothered to build it that way you can always install the one I build from my user repository. That one should install with pacman without needing to mess with anything.

@alerque: Since I prefer to have the latest nodejs for other tools I use and nodejs-lts-gallium conflicts with nodejs, what actually prevents using 17.x?

@hsantanna Thank you - Yes, downgrading my installed version of nodejs (17) to nodejs-lts-gallium (16) completely solved the issue & github-desktop then installed without issue.

Thanks to both of you! @alerque @hsantanna

if you get the error:

detect-arm64-translation: Command failed.

just downgrade to nodejs-lts-gallium (16.X)

@alerque, @santilococo and @JustinSB Downgrading the installed nodejs (17) to nodejs-lts-gallium (16) solved the issue.

It seems to be a known issue with nodejs: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/2534

@alerque I couldn't build it in a clean chroot via makechrootpkg, got the same problem.

alerque commented on 2021-12-11 20:06 (UTC)

@santilococo and @JustinSB I cannot confirm the error you are seeing. Can you please check if you have the same problem building in a clean chroot via makechrootpkg? If the error is not happening there the next think to do is to figure out what is difference between a clean system and the one(s) you are trying to build on.

Also as an alternative this package is in my user repository so you can install it without having to build it.
