Arch Linux User Repository

I just did a test of the new release, v11.6.4-1, and can confirm that it loads like expected on a fresh install. That is under the exact same condition that I experience the issues with v11.6.3, with installing CachyOS on a VM and installing Libation straight after reboot, without doing anything else.

Thanks for maintaining this repo, and acting so fast to resolve it. 🙂

On Garuda Linux 11.6.4 crashes after the login screen. I don't know if RSetta's suggestions have yet been implemented, but I will take a look and if they haven't try them later

Although I initially had a problem with garuda linux, I was able to get it to compile and run correctly after finding a conflict. By orpahining dotnet-sdk-bin the program compiled and runs as expected. Thank you for the fast update!

I did some extensive testing, and it seems that when v11.5.5 is run once, something happens that enable v11.6.3 to run as it should. See Github issue for details on the testing.

So for the time being as solution is to manually checkout commit 59b878af64c2, install and run it, uninstall again, before installing regularly v11.6.3.

See the diff for the commit for the change that removed zlib. This was not it. There must have been something else that changed when building v11.5.5 that enabled 11.6.3 to start. 🤔

Excerpt from .SRCINFO

depends = lttng-ust2.12
depends = zlib
source = libation-11.6.3.tar.gz::https://github.com/rmcrackan/Libation/archive/refs/tags/v11.6.3.tar.gz

Excerpt from PKGBUILD

license=('GPL-3.0-only')
depends=('fontconfig' 'gcc-libs' 'glibc' 'hicolor-icon-theme' 'lttng-ust2.12' 'zlib')
makedepends=('dotnet-sdk>=9')

I tried installing the previous version (v11.5.5), by cloning the repo and checking out the previous commit and do a local build.That was a great success. When checking the diff between the two commits, I noticed the zlib dependency was removed for v11.6.3. I cleaned the repo and checked out the latest commit again. When I try to 11.6.3, it actually runs. I wonder if zlib can be the reason why it fails silently, and if adding that dependency back into .SRCINFO and PKGBUILD would resolve the issue. It did not...

I too am having issues on Manjaro. Here's the crashlog: 05/01/2025 21:27:21 - Libation Crash OS Linux Version 11.6.3.1 ReleaseIdentifier None InteropFunctionsType LinuxConfigApp.LinuxInterop LibationFiles /home/mrrobot/Libation Books Folder

Also tried installing with yay and while the installation didn't throw any errors, the application doesn't start.

Not sure I'm missing something but I get the following error after installing with yay:
