Hi. I'm trying to install vesktop via "pamac install vesktop" but getting "Error: Cannot find matching keyid". Can someone help with it or at least explain what might be wrong? Full output (what looks like keys or ids removed to prevent leaks):

Hey, don't know if it was asked before, but instead of using the node.js package and then enabling pnpm through corepack, wouldn't it be better to just use the pnpm package from the extra repo? it would take less resources and would also mean that pnpm would be up to date with version 10.

hey everyone, i can't seem to be able to compile. i ran yay -S vesktop and it just doesn't launch. i am cleanbuilding the app.

what is the issue at hand here?

Any reason why we aren't using the scalable ico here?: https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop/blob/main/static/icon.ico

using pngs for the icon isnt the best idea imo, leads to issues for example with fuzzel, the app launcher, where it is unable to display the large icon due to it not having a scalable version of the icon.

repeatedly getting this error when I try to run Vesktop. I'm using DWM on Arch Linux (so it is an X11 build).

I tried installing via AUR, Flatpak, and I've even done it Manually now. Same errors.

As of 2024-09-16, this package is being co-maintained by official vesktop developers, and any packaging decisions they make will not be questioned on my part unless it's something harmful for the users, which is very unlikely to happen. As I see it coming, they will not use the system's electron on this package purposely, if you don't like it, use vesktop-electron, which is also maintained by the same devs.

Thanks!

FWIW: the arrpc package seems to conflict with Vesktop's Rich Presence - Enable Rich Presence via arRPC--and as the arRPC user service seems to be enabled by default on installation, this causes Vesktop to not reflect Rich Presence updates.

For now, the solution is to either:

• Disable user arrpc.service, and enable only Vesktop's Rich Presence setting (or not have the arrpc package installed)

• Enable user arrpc.service, disable Vesktop's Rich Presence setting and enable the WebRichPresence (arRPC) Plugin.

@Kyuunex, thanks, fixed. I just didn't bumped the pkgrel because I think it doesn't deserve a rebuild for every AUR user just for that.

You are not renaming the downloaded source file on line 22, resulting in filenames like "v1.5.3.tar.gz" which may cause filename collisions on systems with SRCDEST env var set.

@XcroatoanX, it worked because flatpak uses a different directory for the config, which is what apparently got broken at some point. In some sense, it's the same as deleting the old config directory and starting again.
