@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

Running simplex-desktop-bin 7.1.0-1 gives the following error message. In fact, last two or three versions behaved the same. Basically, recent versions have been unusable. The version that ever worked was one published probably last year.

$ simplex-desktop

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.

matthewq337 commented on 2026-06-11 14:16 (UTC)

@omnigenous fixed, thanks

omnigenous commented on 2026-06-11 10:15 (UTC)

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]
