The marktext homepage has been dead for quite some time. Please change the url to the github project page.

Original repo is dead. I think that it is possible to use this fork: https://github.com/jacobwhall/marktext/tree/trunk

I had the same problem with Manjaro. I think pamac showed a dialog asking something about /usr/bin directory but I blindly accepted that :D It turned out it backed up this directory under bin.old name and then made the bin symblink to Marktext. I removed the bin symblink and renamed bin.old -> bin and the system was able to boot again.

@trevdev Fixed. The package had a symblink /usr/bin instead of a symblink in /usr/bin. Installing this with pacman directly or indirectly through makepkg -i as are supported would not have worked because it would check that there was nothing being clobbered. I don't know anything about pamac or Manjaro, but neither are officially supported by the AUR and clearly either you or those systems did something wrong by forcing a package install that clobbered existing files.

This package annihilated my manjaro system by damaging the /usr directory on my machine. I haven't dug into the damage just yet. Pamac sucks. I'm sure this was an unexpected side effect, but just a heads up. Version 0.16.3-1. I will not be trying to replicate the issue :P

@caleb You have to use: ln -s /usr/lib/marktext/marktext /usr/bin/marktext

If you use /usr/bin you're creating a symlink called 'bin' in the /usr folder, but /usr/bin already exists in the filesystem, of course.

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) marktext-bin: /usr/bin exists in filesystem Errors occurred, no packages were upgraded.

Seems there is something wrong with @hatred's link?

@caleb, Hi! Could you please add symlink to the /usr/lib/marktext/marktext into /usr/bin? Like ln -s /usr/lib/marktext/marktext /usr/bin.

Seems it works well.

@caleb: Ah, so that’s why. Thanks for explaining! :)

alerque commented on 2020-06-27 18:36 (UTC)

@mgr That's where the binary gets installed because this is a binary package that just rebundles the upstream Electron distribution. The binary can't be moved relative to the rest of the Electron bundle. If you want something with more normal Linux system norms I recommend the marktext package instead of marktext-bin. It uses the Arch system Electron packages and adds a launcher script in /usr/bin.
