@RalphCorederoy: Just in case, you can temporarily adopt the package and fix it. You can even disown it back immediately after.

(I'm not maintaining it anymore. I've also disabled comment notification now, not sure if it'll work even with a @mention)

I still use this and recently updated PKGBUILD's pkgver to 2021.11.2-1. The installed result worked for non-root me but not for another user; the set of processes burned CPU forever after displaying TTY text but before opening an X window. /opt/jitsi-meet/swiftshader was root:root 0700. Making it 0755 allowed it to work for the other user. In case it's helpful to others.

Makes sense. I don't actively use this package myself lately though. I'll disown it.

@vasya: Why, are you experiencing the same issue? Generally it seems clear that we need to either find the patch file or remove the command to apply the patch from the build script. However, I don't yet know what purpose this patch is intended to serve. And I haven't tried to investigate, because this seems like something which the package maintainer would already be familiar with. Building this is not really a high priority for me. I just wanted to report the error.

@doctorcolossus, do you know how to fix this?

Stephen304, I've pushed a new version. Can you check if it works for you?

It seems the script in /usr/bin doesn't work to launch jitsi:

/usr/bin/jitsi-meet-electron: line 2: /usr/bin/jitsi-meet.bin: No such file or directory

I'm able to launch by directly calling /usr/share/jitsi-meet-electron/jitsi-meet.bin or /usr/share/jitsi-meet-electron/jitsi-meet

For now I've changed my /usr/bin/jitsi-meet-electron to read

#!/bin/bash
/usr/share/jitsi-meet-electron/jitsi-meet.bin --no-sandbox "$@"

Thanks a lot @vasya

Answered in the other package. Indeed, this package uses the official npm version of electron, while the other package uses system ArchLinux electron. Using system version of electron is generally preferred, I've added this info to my PKGBUILD: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=jitsi-meet-electron#n4
