@wolfk

the same SIGSEGV as @IAmHugh, this could only be fixed by setting the environment SKIKO_RENDER_API=SOFTWARE before starting simplex-desktop

this is not true (about "only one fix"). I have explained nature of this crash in my comment. TL;DR: another workaround: downgrade openssl package to version 3.6.2-1

One more small issue: "simplex-desktop-bin: local (6.5.4-3) is newer than AUR (6.5.4-2)"

omnigenous commented on 2026-06-20 14:38 (UTC)

Solved pinned issue by cleanBuild.

@omnigenous, make a bug report https://github.com/simplex-chat/simplex-chat/issues

omnigenous commented on 2026-06-11 17:21 (UTC)

Now I'm getting:

==> Missing dependencies:
  -> jack2
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.
 -> error making: simplex-desktop-bin-exit status 8
 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required:
simplex-desktop-bin - exit status 8

Is there no way to install it without jack2? I think I need "pipewire-jack" package, but I'm not the expert.

@omnigenous fixed, thanks

Can't upgrade because of jack2 requirement:

jack2-1.9.22-2.2 and pipewire-jack-1:1.6.6-1.1 are in conflict (jack). Remove pipewire-jack? [y/N]

@IAmHugh fixed, thanks
