Migration Notice: This package (lmstudio-bin) is the active replacement for the abandoned lmstudio package.

Recent Changes (v0.4.1-1): * Icons Fixed: I have switched to statically vendoring the high-resolution icon. This guarantees the icon appears correctly and eliminates the "blank icon" bugs caused by upstream AppImage changes. * AppImage: Installs the latest official AppImage to /opt/lm-studio/. * Conflict Handling: Automatically removes the old lmstudio package.

Troubleshooting: If you still see a blank icon after upgrading, your desktop environment is likely caching the old broken entry. Force a refresh by running: rm -rf ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache (KDE/Plasma) or sudo gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor (GNOME/GTK)

Please don't flag out of date referring to the beta versions. Versions this package track are sourced from https://lmstudio.ai/

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lmstudio-beta tracks https://lmstudio.ai/beta-releases

It's possible this version can be at a higher version level than the beta releases, and vice-versa.

for someone want to get the latest version

change in PKGBUILD

pkgver=0.3.39.2
sha256sums=('23e74efed0ba4802e3afc62bc958177c8edee9edf9cbb0a4507b07781716139c')

then run makepkg -si

I got too lazy to manually get the versions, use this edit to make it auto fetch latest version, obviously this doesnt match hashes, so keep that in mind. The regex is also likely to break in the future and Idk how it handles build nums yet.. will update it whenever i hit an issue.

Confirmed working for version 0.3.36 (build 1). The download URL logic requires strict versioning.

Fix:

Edit PKGBUILD: set pkgver=0.3.36.1 (ensure it matches the build number from the website if needed).

Run updpkgsums to update checksums.

makepkg -si.

The build number suffix seems to be the culprit for the 404 error on previous attempts.

It looks like this is missing the following dependencies: atkmm, gtk3

@merlinuxxx - the best way to isolate if this is a package problem or some dependency build issue would be the following:

mkdir -p ~/build
cd ~/build
git clone ssh://aur@aur.archlinux.org/lmstudio.git
cd lmstudio
makepkg -fsi

and then cleanup if successful:

cd ~
rm -rf ~/build/lmstudio
rmdir ~/build

@envolution probably I had to specify that I am using yay for the installation of lmstudio, but in this case it's just an upgrade, lmstudio is already installed. At this point then probably is better to uninstall and reinstall it. The output anyway is from the command line while I was upgrading and there's an actual error that stopped the process:

malloc.c: In function ‘rpl_malloc’: malloc.c:16:10: error: too many arguments to function ‘malloc’; expected 0, have 1 16
