I'm not really using this package anymore, as I migrated to use https://gitlab.com/aar642/shadow-repackaged directly, but I don't want to change the upstream AppImage to shadow-repackaged as this may disrupt other users of this repo. I will continue to update the PKGBUILD until someone else wants to take over.

Finally got my issue resolved. None of the packages that got pinned after I unsubscribed helped. (although they motivated me to resubscribed and try again) I reached out to shadow support and said that they officially support Ubuntu but I couldn't get that working in a VM. (which was true) The person who responded directed me to a repo that helped a lot. https://gitlab.com/aar642/shadow-repackaged

In my case my issue was you can't run plex and shadow at the same time and once I stopped the plex service it worked like a charm. (Note: the Stable version over there didn't work for me but the Beta and Alpha work fine as well the package in this repo. @tionis I highly recommend pinning the link to that gitlab as it has a bunch of possible issues listed with workarounds for a lot of the popular branches. (Arch among others)

Some notes:

Some dependencies may be required and were reported by other users. They are not in PKGBUILD because I personally haven't had any issue running Shadow without these packages. I need more users' reports to confirm they are really required before putting them into PKGBUILD. So please try the following dependencies if you encounter errors, and please report here if these dependencies do resolve your errors.

  1. libldap24 from AUR
  2. net-tools
  3. xdg-utils
  4. flatpak

I didn't encounter the issue of upgrading the launcher. For the users who flagged this package out-of-date because of the upgrading issue, please provide more details.

This AUR package automatically downloads the latest launcher. The current version of Shadow client is 5.0.996.

The sha512sum in the upstream yaml is now base64 encoded which causes the build to fail.

Changing the following fixes things up

# Get the SHA512 checksum
sha512sum() {
        info

        echo "$shadow_sha512" | base64 -d | xxd -ps -c 512
}

I have the same issue, R-300, same issue with the beta version of shadow

sauyon commented on 2020-10-01 02:27 (UTC)

This package causes R-300 for me, on 5.8.12-arch1-1, probably due to graphics library mismatches; why are you unpacking the appimage? Also, why are you doing it manually?

@agentcobra In line 80 of the PKGBUILD the $ should be outside of the brackets.

ln -sf "/opt/${pkgname}/shadow" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/${pkgname}"

derintendant commented on 2020-09-04 08:34 (UTC)

I think, the dependency on "gnome-keyring" should be "org.freedesktop.secrets" instead. I have just build the package with this set and am successfully using it with KeepassXC as a the secrets provider.

New update gives Sha512 failure for me.

agentcobra commented on 2020-08-31 16:02 (UTC)

@hadogenes, I can read comments :)

Mostly works, except that when it begins the streaming process it can never complete. Keeps going in a loop "saying were almost there", "Shadow Desktop 3. Starting Streaming"

@nigelwarning info.yml is from shadow's data (https://storage.googleapis.com/shadow-update/launcher/prod/linux/ubuntu_18.04/latest-linux.yml)
