For anyone who wants to make raw image data pasting work as mentioned here, please use webkit2gtk-imgpaste as the dependency.

@ricardoqueen

This was the error that showed up here:

(process:20711): Gtk-WARNING **: 15:06:06.264: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. Settings: Failed to load ui resource: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input

I checked my /etc/locale.gen file and re-run sudo locale-gen. Now the app works

According to the Arch Packaging Guidelines, packages cannot be installed to /usr/local. The prefix should be changed to /usr. Here is the diff of what I did to change the prefix:

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD index 23a0cc1..ffc2a12 100644 --- a/PKGBUILD +++ b/PKGBUILD @@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ md5sums=('5c8d6f27c1825a1cdcb89a8557d0a041')

build() { cd "$srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver" - cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . + cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr . make }

Thanks! We use webkit2gtk as backend and unfortunately, Whatsapp web doesn't support it well. Maybe, we can switch to some other backend but I am not aware of any better candidate.

Thats great, finally system tray.... good work!

Another wish.. could u make it with other agent browser? i mean when install there is a message that says use chrome or firefox, to use all options,, that will be great because, chats doesnt have the microphone option to send voice messages.

I've never experienced such issue. There might be a problem with your locale configurations but I am really not sure. Mine is like this:

$ locale -a
C
de_DE.utf8
en_US.utf8
POSIX

Only runs for me like

LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 whatsapp-for-linux

and throws

Settings: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'Glib::ConvertError'

if started w/o LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 Is this by design?
