Arch Linux User Repository

If anyone, like me, uses this on GNOME on Wayland with Fractional Scaling (due to a 14" 2560x1440 screen in their laptop), you may find this Electron trick useful to make the app work in native Wayland mode instead of xwayland (so that it does not appear blurry) - run the app with this command:

losslesscut --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations

To make the change persist, change the Exec=... line in /usr/share/applications/losslesscut-bin.desktop to:

Exec=losslesscut --ozone-platform-hint=auto --enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations

It would be probably great if the .desktop file in this AUR would have this automatically included if Wayland is detected as the display server, but I'm not sure how do you go about this; Also this seems to be a recurring theme with all Electron apps, so I'm thinking about some system-wide solution to be brought up on Arch upstream - no point in having every single Electron app packager waste the effort repeating this.

Thanks @mischka. See if the change I made helps.

losslesscut.desktop should have the following included so the icon is correctly displayed for running processes:

StartupWMClass=losslesscut

@dmp1ce I installed the application, and got that error. And I was able to fix it with the command I mentioned in the previous comment. I don't know how to reproduce it. I added the comment so that it may help someone else in future.

@archisman, How can I reproduce this error? Just starting the application looked fine to me.

I got this error.

$ losslesscut
[22489:0217/223225.033626:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(157)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /usr/share/losslesscut/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

Solution:

sudo chmod 4755 /usr/share/losslesscut/chrome-sandbox

Thanks @smrqdt.

I created losslesscut-bin and made the merge request on both packages.

As this package uses prebuilt binaries it should contain a "-bin" suffix in its name (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_submission_guidelines), please consider renaming. Afaik the process for that is cloning and submitting a merge request (using "Submit Request" in the Package Actions box).
