Thanks for the comment. This is one of the things that was always puzzling to me, because I never had to add these groups to my users. Can you give me a bit more information before I change anything to the package? I need to understand the issue better.
1) Are you using Arch Linux? 2) Are you using Wayland? Which DE specifically? 3) Are you logging locally or remotely?
Thanks!
In order to be able to use the NPU via flm you need to add the lemonade user to the video and render groups ( eg. usermod -aG render,video lemonade ).
Would be nice if this package handles this automatically after installation. Thanks for maintaining it :)
release 10.3 renamed the lemonade-server systemd unit into lemond. If you had it enabled remember to systemctl disable lemonade-server and systemctl enable --now lemond after upgrading
Hi all, I'm out of the country and don't have access to my PC until 6 of May. I'll try to figure out if a co-maintainer can create this release. Sorry about that.

There is no issue with the libwebsockets library, you have to rebuild the package when the system dependencies change. This is how AUR works.
keep in mind that a rebuild of a package may be required when its shared library dependencies are updated, not only when the package itself is updated.
Regarding the libwebsockets.so.20, I was able to get lemonade-server working again by pointing CMake to build off system libraries.. which maybe not ideal, but is a workaround if you want to get going faster.
-D CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr
-D CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib
-D CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include
Since I upgraded to version 10.2.0-1 and upgrade the rest of my system, I haven't been able to run lemond:
$ lemond
lemond: error while loading shared libraries: libwebsockets.so.20: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Seems like libwebsockets package upgraded and broke lemonade-server?
My current libwebsockets package version is: 4.5.8-1.1
$ cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep libwebsockets
[2026-01-23T20:20:58-0500] [ALPM] installed libwebsockets (4.4.1-1.1)
[2026-03-05T21:31:49-0500] [ALPM] upgraded libwebsockets (4.4.1-1.1 -> 4.4.2-1.1)

@th3raid0r it looks to be a bug in FLM code, I've opened an issue about it! You shouldn't need to set the memlock limits any more. I will also update the documentation when this bug is resolved.
Issue:
The lemonade-server systemd unit file lacks LimitMEMLOCK=infinity which is required for FLM to be able to work properly - particularly with embedding or whisper.

lemonade-serverhas a systemd service unit. Usesystemctl start lemondto start.Default configuration is available at
/usr/share/lemonade/defaults.jsonand should be placed at:/var/lib/lemonade/.cache/lemonade/config.jsonAlso
/etc/lemonade/conf.d/zz-secrets.conffor the Lemonade API KEY.The cache where all models, backends, and other files are stored is now in
/var/lib/lemonade/.cacheGUI: lemonade-desktop.
