The package version is the version of the launcher bootstrap - the part that actually downloads and updates the launcher.

That means the version number of the actual launcher (2.x.xxx) is different from the version here (9xx+) on a fundamental level, and should not be compared.

The package is outdated only when the bootstrap version you get here is different from the bootstrap version you would get from minecraft.net when using the raw tarball.

@HurricanePootis I would agree with the flagging as explained in the flag comment: https://aur.archlinux.org/pkgbase/minecraft-launcher/flag-comment/

@Philanche This package isn't out of date, nor is the reason you stated correct. This package is a launcher for a tool that downloads that actual client that we run on our computer, so stating that the client is out of date is incorrect. Checking the version on my own client, I can see that this "out of date" package has me running the latest version of the client available.

+1 for adding gnome-keyring as dep/optdep

Why does the launcher create a "Downloads" directory in my home directory every time I launch it?

I think the problem is somewhere else. On Windows PC im loggin to my ms account every time when i start the session (login prompt). From this point every app which using ms account is already logged in automatically, including Minecraft. The problem wasn't there before they start migration to ms from mojang

I think you guys missin the point. Even on Gnome with keyring configured correctly, I need to login to ms account every time i reboot PC. When i login to ms account first time, then i can get back to it as many time as i want and i won't be asking for password as long im still on the same sassion. As soon i logout from account and login again, it ask for ms password ;-)

@funnyprun that is wrong. As many have said in the thread (and I have now confirmed myself), the problem with Microsoft login is that it is missing gnome-keyring. gnome-keyring may probably be one of the dependencies of chromium (I don't use chromium so I don't know) so when you have chromium installed that is why it works for you. The maintainer should probably add gnome-keyring as a dependency yeah.

I have found out what is wrong with the Microsoft login. It seems to have a dependency on chromium. I can only successfully load the login page when I have chromium installed. Therefore, we should explicitly list chromium as a dependency.

kode54, Who says im not using gnome? It is on gnome indead and the keyring is storing the keys except the one for the launcher

kode54 commented on 2021-11-24 06:22 (UTC)

@pemergency As mentioned numerous times by people who want it added to the dependencies, it requires gnome-keyring to store your login credentials. This doesn't change if you're not using Gnome.
