Arch Linux User Repository

Hi community, I did take over maintenance for this package, since I need it for work. It's my first package here on the AUR, so please be forgiving for any mistakes.

If there is a problem with the checksums, flag the package out-of-date at the top of the page. I'll update the PKGBUILD as soon as possible.

When I log in, it accepts my userna,e but then renders a blank screen instead of asking for a password. I'm using sway as my WM.

Thanks to all who have contributed to this package. I'm having a problem with Webex displaying PNG images inline.

Looks like /opt/Webex/lib/plugins/imageformats is missing a png lib?

@jvsanten: Thanks, I added this workaround.

I did not update the version of the package yet. I would like to use a stable url to download the upstream package, but the cisco api for the "gold" version currently does not work.

@jvsanten it works perfectly, thank you!

Decided to try (and managed to find) an "it's stupid but it works" fix for the libsecret issue, resulting in the following PKGBUILD (also upgraded to the new release in the process):

}

Since webex checks its own libs first dumping libsecret-0.20.4 in there (straight from the archives) seems to do the trick.

I've gotta say, it's really quite annoying that libsecret-mr94 received 3 deletion requests because libsecret 0.20.5-2 supposedly contains the fix therein. Only reason I replaced mr94 was because it was missing during an upgrade, so I incorrectly assumed (the saying stands true) that the package incompatibility was fully resolved.

The new version still needs libsecret-mr94 EDIT: Seems like libsecret-mr94 has been deleted, so if you have replaced it with libsecret the only way to get webex back is to downgrade libsecret, e.g. sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/libsecret/libsecret-0.20.4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

@Cbhihe Try pacman -Rdd libsecret and see if it breaks any of the other packages.

@Ztofnat: Thank you for the heads-up, but removing libsecret would break a good 15 dependencies on my system. I am a little perplex as to how to proceed. Any advice welcome.

$ sudo pacman -R libsecret

Is sudo pacman -Rdd libsecret advisable in this particular case ?

@Cbhihe Webex needs a previous version of libsecret. You have to remove libsecret and install lbsecret-mr94 from the AUR.
