Arch Linux User Repository

Thank you dosenpils and masterkorp for supporting the package.

I replaced the PKGBUILD with the version I wrote for the archlinuxcn repo. I will do my best to follow the latest nodejs and electron versions.

Please try to build in a clean chroot (i.e., with extra-x86_64-build from devtools package) if you have problems building the package.

If you want to use the fcitx input method under wayland, please complete the following configuration:

cat .config/electron25-flags.conf 
--enable-wayland-ime
--ozone-platform=wayland

@bossi - Thanks for the link. I ended up getting Joplin to work by installing NVM using it to install nodejs-lts-carbon. Anyone who wants to try it check out these two links: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Node.js_ https://github.com/creationix/nvm

Once I followed those links, I removed the nodejs-lts-carbon in the two places it is listed in the PKGBUILD and the package installed and runs fine now.

@felmey - Yes, Joplin's dependencies have moved from nodejs to nodejs-lts-carbon, due to an incompatibility with the latest nodejs-10's sqlite libraries, it seems. This results in dependency conflicts if you have anything else installed that depends on nodejs as the two nodejs-packages are mutually exclusive.

Have a look here for further details.

There seems to be a problem with nodejs and it wants to install nodejs-lts-carbon but that breaks other dependencies... Anyone else have this problem?

Awesome, thanks @masterkorp,

I see you're listing your github repo in the sources, was just about to suggest. I'll continue using that space instead to track issues; happy to contribute back if I get a chance.

Best Regards~

Hello @bossi,

Yes, the AUR repository, its just for the code. I do have another repository on github https://github.com/masterkorp/joplin-pkgbuild

You are more than welcome to open an issue there, or even contribute directly.

Hi @masterkorp,

Not a problem at all, thanks for posting back though! I wasn't sure if this is the right channel to discuss these more specific, code-related issues (was looking for something closer to the repository itself but there isn't?). I have picked up your patch since, works all well on my end - I figured you had either seen my post or noticed the issue yourself. Cheers!

Hello @bossi,

Firts of all, sorry for the delay on the response, somehow I did not get propely notifed.

Thank you for you patch, but by now the packages has been fixed. Can you confirm it does work for you?

Thanks for setting up this AUR, masterkorp.

I'm not sure if this is the conventional way to contribute suggestions, please redirect me if not.

I ran into an issue where the CLI client failed to load a locales/index.js module (Error: Cannot find module '../locales/index.js' - officially discussed here).

As suggested by the author, the following patch in the PKGBUILD seems to fix the issue:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
index fa80d54..ad61b78 100644
