Arch Linux User Repository

Hello everyone,

There was been several difficulties upgrading the Joplin due to major changes in the build system upstream.

I have finnally got version 2.6.10 working with pacthes, but remenber:

• You may need to remove your src/ folder before using this version

• The patches are still not perfect, you must say yes to a prompt

I will continue working on this later today, but its usable and stable, please remenber you can always report issues on the github repository.

Regards, Alfredo Palhares

Hello everyone,

I will be renaming the packages to its final form.

• joplin will contain the CLI application
• joplin-desktop will contain the Desktop version

Also, please for problems with the package, please open an issue on the Github repo, its really hard to provide support on the comments section, you can also email me.

If you have problems with the check() function, just run makepkg with the --nocheck flag.

Thank you for your patience. Regards, Alfredo Palhares

@roachsinai This issue is fixed in the upstream (https://github.com/laurent22/joplin/issues/3783). The package here must however be updated to at least 1.2.1 for this to work again. Currently, you can downgrade to an older version (like I did to version 1.0.242) and wait until the package gets updated.

Hi everyone, I'm running into an issue with the PKGBUILD of this package. The prebuild-install step complains about a missing module called 'fstream'. Please find the error below:

Any advise on that?

I have faced this error when opened CLI: ./build/lib/sql-extensions/spellfix.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory . It was fixed in version CLI v1.2.1.

Do you want a comaintainer masterkorp? I use this package and have a vested interest in keeping it up to date.

Hello everyone, Does anyone know how to improve Cyrillic text within the editor? Having trouble with editing text, the cursor straight up just clips through some letters

@zero.0 Thank you for the hint. I will have a look at it.

I had succsess installing it from Chaotic-AUR. Not sure if that suits you...

Now, it gives the following error:

It says there is not enough space, but there are more than 15 GB free. Any ideas?

At the moment, the installation hangs here:

extract:hermes-engine: sill extract  hermes-engine@0.2.1 extracted to /home/XXXXX/.cache/yay/joplin/src/joplin-1.0.245/ReactNativeClient/node_modules/.staging/hermes-engine-a5d159db (264376m)

Any suggestions?
