Arch Linux User Repository

@cirlo I contacted their support when I had trouble running pCloud in Sway with GDK_BACKEND=wayland (without ",x11"). Their response was: "Unfortunately, we are having troubles updating the app to the latest electron versions because of inside security libraries that we are using. Our devs know about this issue and electron version update is already planed."

pcloud-drive 1.14.8-1 Cannot start - core dumped Downloaded 64-bit binary (same version) from pCloud website - this works fine. What could be wrong? Electron issue as I see you are using AppImage version, which is using electron, and not direct binary. Would propose to create a pcloud-bin package, where binary version is. Sounds like electron is quite often broken and would be direct solution to use binary from pCloud website as it works fine. But from download links I see, that these contain also word "electron" - sounds like these are also electron-based. Anyway, possibly fixed version of electron as it works.

64-bit version download link https://www.pcloud.com/how-to-install-pcloud-drive-linux.html?download=electron-64

32-bit version download link https://www.pcloud.com/how-to-install-pcloud-drive-linux.html?download=electron-32

At least at https://www.pcloud.com/download-free-online-cloud-file-storage.html they do not limit Arch Linux version as other distros. So it suppose to work.

Hello, I have a new Arch install with hyprland wm. Everything works except pCloud. pCloud just refuses to start. The following I get in terminal:

 pcloud 

(pcloud:8296): Gtk-WARNING **: 06:22:56.268: cannot open display: :1

this has been broken for months with an error like this: Sat, 14 Sep 2024 00:20:46.229 +0000 2472778752 main app thread CRITICAL ERROR: plibs.c:427 (function psync_sql_connect): Using wrong SQLite lib version: [3.46.1] != [3.12.0]

I am on cachyos

warthan07's workaround works for me too.

In case anyone needs it, here's the patch.

@warthan07, I encountered the same error today... I applied your bypass (I'd not find alone) and it works for me too... I needed to install debugedit to solve other issues in my last updates... Probably a link, for sure.

Not sure how reproducible this problem is (only tested on my own laptop and desktop computers in updated arch systems), but recent installs of this package seem to give a malformed appimage that cannot be executed:

This doesn't look like a squashfs image.

Cannot mount AppImage, please check your FUSE setup.
You might still be able to extract the contents of this AppImage
if you run it with the --appimage-extract option.
See https://github.com/AppImage/AppImageKit/wiki/FUSE
for more information
open dir error: No such file or directory

Indeed, the app image in the pkgdir after running makepkg weighs much less than the source appimage (which executes just fine, so it is not a fuse problem imo). Fortunately, adding the option !debug after !strip solves the problem for me. This would suggest the problem comes from debugedit (maybe a recent makepkg update changed the default option?), but I did not investigate further.

1.14.5-1.AppImage has been failing the validity check for me for several days.

I just asked pCloud when they are going to upgrade there app to support Wayland and the following is the response I got back and I wanted to share: Thank you for the e-mail.

Currently we have no plans to support Wayland, but I have forwarded your request to our developers, and when enough people ask for this, we might start supporting Wayland.

If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Kind regards, Jacko Leenders pCloud's Technical Support

After installing the recently released version 1.14.3 of the package, the application still indicates that its version is 1.14.2.
