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 underbin.old
name and then made thebin
symblink to Marktext. I removed thebin
symblink and renamedbin.old -> bin
and the system was able to boot again.alerque commented on 2021-01-08 08:53 (UTC)
@trevdev Fixed. The package had a symblink
/usr/bin
instead of a symblink in/usr/bin
. Installing this withpacman
directly or indirectly throughmakepkg -i
as are supported would not have worked because it would check that there was nothing being clobbered. I don't know anything aboutpamac
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.trevdev commented on 2021-01-08 06:01 (UTC)
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 ofmarktext-bin
. It uses the Arch system Electron packages and adds a launcher script in/usr/bin
