Arch Linux User Repository

Do NOT report an issues with this package upstream. This package uses system/latest electron. Any issues you have MUST be reproducible in the Flatpak or vesktop packages

I think line 47 of the PKGBUILD still uses the wrong variable, it should be using $name, not $_pkgname.

@LRitzdorf I performed your fix and it worked: mv /usr/lib/Vesktop /usr/lib/vesktop/app.asar

@sir-wallaby Same here. I assume this is what you meant to type, but I resolved the issue by moving /usr/lib/Vesktop to /usr/lib/vesktop/app.asar.

I'm not sure if this is unique to me, but posting here in case anyone else runs into this error when attempting to launch the new version(1.6.0-3).

Error launching app Unable to find Electron app at /usr/lib/vesktop/app.asar

Cannot find module '/usr/lib/vesktop/app.asar'

To fix this, I noticed my /usr/lib/Vesktop directory had a uppercase V in vesktop. So, I ran

cd /usr/lib

then renamed the folder:

sudo mv Vesktop vesktop

This seemed to resolve the error and vesktop-electron opens normally now (with icons BTW).

As @chrrybmb stated, the icon is missing in the lastest release

I tried updating the PKGBUILD to the latest version and got this error.

@vbmithr This error is a regression caused by nodejs v24.4. Only solution is to downgrade nodejs, or wait until a release containing the patch is made.

looks broken

hicolor icon has no 1024^2 support: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/electron36/-/blob/e36/PKGBUILD

Remove 1024.
