Arch Linux User Repository

archlinux is currently affected by a blackscreen bug due to mesa 23.1. It is still unclear if this is a mesa or a game bug.

Please read here how to workaround this problem https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-client/issues/66#issuecomment-1563349236 without downgrading mesa to 23.0.

I added a mirror as workaround, so this should work now. No need to force http1.1.

The GUI package is working as well now: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/mcpelauncher-ui-git

I've updated this package to support the latest NG branch. Perhaps I can get a hold of the other related packages to get the rest of this to work as well.

If there are any issues, feel free to leave a comment or shoot me an email at samb at disroot dot org.

Fixed! Thanks!

This patch has new submodules, gets rid of qt6 in the pkgver (which is improper), and cleans up the cmake command.

Needs to be updated? fatal: invalid reference: origin/qt6

archlinux is currently affected by a blackscreen bug due to mesa 23.1. It is still unclear if this is a mesa or a game bug.

Please read here how to workaround this problem https://github.com/minecraft-linux/mcpelauncher-client/issues/66#issuecomment-1563349236 without downgrading mesa to 23.0.

I added a mirror as workaround, so this should work now. No need to force http1.1.

Temporary workaround:

git config --global http.version HTTP/1.1

Seems like HTTP/2 is not working for some reason. My guess is because cURL had a bug in 8.1.0:

https://daniel.haxx.se/blog/2023/05/23/curl-8-1-1-lets-do-this/

<del>v8.1.1 should fix this.</del> Seems like it is out right now. v8.1.1 does not fix the issue. My guess is that git needs an update? Who knows.

Weird only archlinux can no longer clone via git clone --mirror https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core core.

Running the same command on ubuntu 22.04 works (after a couple of seconds with no git output) and it was no problem in the past for archlinux either.

Another bug is coming soon to archlinux mesa 23.1 will cause a blackscreen in game versions 1.18.30+ (renderdragon).

Mirroring this code to github would be a workaround for archlinux. On archlinux I can only do a git clone https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core core without hanging.

Hey, whenever the PKGBUILD goes to git clone --mirror the repo https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core, it gets stuck and nothing happens. I am able to clone the repo with --mirror, but as soon as I do git clone --mirror https://android.googlesource.com/platform/system/core core, it breaks.

Breaking: Updated to use qt6 like the mcpelauncher-ui package

I removed fake-jni and baron inkl. their deps and removed the cd lines.
