Arch Linux

I know this is very very late but


Minus has stopped developing this application.

I will be disowning this package. I'm not going to make sure it works with Arch updates since it's been dropped.

Works for 1.8.0 now.

minus-uploader 1.8 PKGBUILD
http://pastebin.com/GZR3xZkz

deb2targz is removed from AUR.
New PKGBUILD use `ar`(in core/binutils) instead of deb2targz.
See: https://gist.github.com/1540502

@vkill, what's the problem exactly? It installs fine here.

PKGBUILD error
tar -xzf "${srcdir}/minus-desktop-tool_${_debarch}.tar.gz"

Thank you skodabenz but this doesn't help. The problem with this package is that they keep modifying the file without changing the version number. Also, the file that has to be downloaded doesn't carry the version number in it so this creates frequent issues with md5sum.

# man PKGBUILD

It is also possible to change the name of the downloaded file, which is helpful with weird URLs and for handling multiple
source files with the same name. The syntax is: source=('filename::url').

You can change the PKGBUILD with

_downloadfile="minus-desktop-tool_${_debarch}.deb"
_sourcefile="minus-desktop-tool-${pkgver}-${pkgrel}_${_debarch}.deb"

source=("${_sourcefile}::http://blog.minus.com/updates/${_downloadfile}")

so that the downloaded file is renamed with pkgver and pkgrel in it.

seems to be broken again :>

awesome - it's fixed now. thanks for your blazing fast commit!

maybe, they have the annoying habit to change version without renaming the files.
check now

build is failing currently - seems like a checksum error?

I think lib32-qt is not at all needed as the app works even without it being installed in my system. Also /usr/bin/minus is ELF-x86_64 exec.

I haven't been able to use the Minus tool until I moved it from the notification bar to the status bar.
Moving Minus to the status bar is fairly easy just create extension.js and metadata.json as described here [ http://mo.morsi.org/blog/node/337 ] and copy them to /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/minus.status@gnome-shell.gnome.org/

You can also use the gnome-shell-extension-pidgin-status aur package and adapt it for minus.

I do not know if there is an easier way to do but this method is not complex at all.

Please add qjson as dependency. I installed successfully minus-uploader but complained abut libqjson at first start.

Tks a lot

I switched the PKGBUILD to use the deb version of the uploader because it does provide a better 64 bit version and seems to be looked after more carefully.
Also, the 1.6 deb version is now available.

yes, i've solved installing qt lib32 :)

@L0cutus, are you running a 64 bi os too?

[kki@l0cutus ~]$ minus
minus: error while loading shared libraries: libQtXml.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

any idea ?

@BioStrange thanks for the help. It works fine.

@BioStrange, thanks for the tip. I think this is a issue that probably has to be solved upstream.

On x86_64 Arch I managed to fix the libqjson.so.0 problem by manually downloading the x86 qjson package, extracting the libqjson.so.0.7.1, renaming it to libqjson.so.0, and placing it into /usr/lib32/. It works under Gnome 3, albeit with issues (as far as I can tell, mostly pertaining to the status bar being moved, etc), but seems fully functional aside from that.

Sorry, *after updated

@crocowhile Not yet, I keep searching an anwser, the same problem before updated!!! :\ ... Maybe if exists a package lib32-qjson xD

@seaslee, you need to give some more details about your problem.
@Takaki, did you actually solve your issue?

does it work under gnome3? In my machine , it doesn't work .

Updated to 1.5

version 1.5

@Takaki, not sure what the problem is. libqjson.so.0 is not even present on my machine and the app launches w/o problems.

I get the following error when I try to launch the app: minus: error while loading shared libraries: libqjson.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I try "#ln -s /usr/lib/libqjson.so.0 /usr/lib32/libqjson.so.0" but doesn't work.
Any ideas?

1.2 is out, please update: https://gist.github.com/930109

@ancleessen4, actually the PKGBUILD just looks for lib32qt3. It doesn't check for its version.

Package install looks for lib32-qt3 3.3.8-18 but lib32-qt3 version has incremented to lib32-qt3 3.3.8-19

Good to know. I have updated the PKGBUILD

@crocowhile I had it installed. Reinstalled and it worked. Thanks a lot!

yuri_alvarez, you could try installing lib32-qt.

@crocowhile yes, i'm on 64 bit

@yuri_alvarez, that lib is definitely part of qt, so if you have it installed it should just work.
Are you on a 64 bit arch?

I have installed qt 4.7.2-1

$ minus
minus: error while loading shared libraries: libQtXml.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Any idea? Thanks

@seanm,

$ pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4
/usr/lib/libQtGui.so.4 is owned by qt 4.7.1-3

It should be enough to install qt which is now inserted as dependency.

$ minus
minus: error while loading shared libraries: libQtGui.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory



Any ideas?

Thanks for noting that. It's fixed now.

Was only able to install it with yaourt after removing/commenting out the line: depends=("")
