Arch Linux User Repository

I've been wondering if anybody else is having issues with WhatPulse? After it runs for a couple of hours it freezes and afterwards starts to memory leak.

This has been an issue for me for a long time, so nothing new... And I haven't noticed this issue when running the AppImage directly, but I like to use the AUR package because it allows for network capture.

Please check the dependencies of the new version, it seems to have switched to qt6. I was missing qt6-charts and qt6-5compat from my system (but there are likely more qt6 dependencies that I already had installed).

Warning: No input devices found, are your permissions set up correctly?

To solve it, you need to run as root (sudo) or setup input permissions.

[huzhifeng@archlinux ~]$ sudo whatpulse
or
[huzhifeng@archlinux ~]$ wget https://files.whatpulse.org/linux/setup-input-permissions.sh
[huzhifeng@archlinux ~]$ chmod +x setup-input-permissions.sh
[huzhifeng@archlinux ~]$ sudo sh setup-input-permissions.sh

perfect. thx.

What to do with these assets?

https://whatpulse.org/images/assets/whatpulse-assets-all.zip is missing, so the package fails to build.

You can get the assets here http://web.archive.org/web/20170620000549/https://whatpulse.org/images/assets/whatpulse-assets-all.zip

Whatpulse is now failing to pulse with error SSL errors, something fishy is going on!

Thanks for the update. The snap's rev number isn't part of whatpulse's versioning however. The version should be 3.5
