Somehow dkms fails on me:

@Omar007 Understood, thanks for the explanation! Just finding my way around Manjaro since I installed it first time 2 weeks ago :)

@Kana: release build VS. git head/master build

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#What_is_the_difference_between_foo_and_foo-git_packages%3F

You can also always check the PKGBUILDs (as one probably should when pulling stuff from the AUR to build a package with to install on ones system which will be done with root access level ;) )
https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=looking-glass

Sorry for maybe silly question.. The descriptions don't say anything about it, so I don't quite understand the difference between this package and the other one of virtually same name on https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/looking-glass-git

And what would be the difference if I directly cloned the https://github.com/gnif/LookingGlass.git repository?

Url should be updated to https://looking-glass.io/

Kernel module fails to compile with linux >= 5.9 due to a breaking change, see issue #314 for details.

FallenSnow commented on 2020-10-14 00:47 (UTC)

B2 has been released.

Omar007 commented on 2020-05-23 12:03 (UTC)

@admicos: Please don't flag this as outdated if there hasn't been a new official release. B1 is still the latest version atm; https://looking-glass.hostfission.com/downloads

As I mentioned before:

Update to the first official release version. From here on out, the package will only be updated on new official releases, not on RC releases.

If anyone has interest in RC releases, feel free to create a looking-glass-rc variant based on this yourself.

Omar007 commented on 2020-05-07 19:31 (UTC)

As you already established, a recompile fixes it. But I'm bumping the pkgrel to force an update for anyone using an AUR helper or w/e just in case.
