Arch Linux User Repository

@ratbox

The releases on the AUR are done automatically every hour. The issue is that sometimes the zen team does a release, then the script runs and updates the AUR package. And then they undo/remove the release. If this happens again simply wait another hour and the script will automatically update the AUR repo with the newest published version.

Thank you for understanding

For those coming from https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/aur-general@lists.archlinux.org/thread/7EZTJXLIAQLARQNTMEW2HBWZYE626IFJ/, note that the malware is from zen-browser-PATCHED-bin. This package has not been compromised.

@Larvey I get you, then I would just like to request you add plasma-browser-integration and gnome-browser-connector as optional dependencies in the PKGBUILD

@lakwey, I would prefer to keep things like that up to the user and simply provide only what a user needs in order to run zen on most configurations.

Adding those changes would require additional testing on both environments after updates to ensure they still work and I don't have the time for that sort of thing.

I would recommend making a hook that applies those changes after install.

@Larvey ,could you add this QOL enhancements for people that are on kde or GNOME for the zen-browser.sh

#!/usr/bin/bash

[ -z "$MOZ_DISABLE_WAYLAND" ] && { [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" = "GNOME" ] && [ -n "$WAYLAND_DISPLAY" ] || [ "$XDG_SESSION_TYPE" = "wayland" ]; } && export MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 && export MOZ_DBUS_REMOTE=1

if [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" = "KDE" ] && [ ! -e "${HOME}/.zen/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json" ]; then
    mkdir -p "${HOME}/.zen/native-messaging-hosts"
    [ -r /usr/lib64/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json ] && ln -s /usr/lib64/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json "${HOME}/.zen/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json"
fi

if [ "$XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP" = "GNOME" ] && { [ ! -e "${HOME}/.zen/native-messaging-hosts/org.gnome.browser_connector.json" ] || [ ! -e "${HOME}/.zen/native-messaging-hosts/org.gnome.chrome_gnome_shell.json" ]; }; then
    mkdir -p "${HOME}/.zen/native-messaging-hosts"
    [ -r /usr/lib64/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.gnome.browser_connector.json ] && ln -s /usr/lib64/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.gnome.browser_connector.json "${HOME}/.zen/native-messaging-hosts/org.gnome.browser_connector.json"
    [ -r /usr/lib64/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.gnome.chrome_gnome_shell.json ] && ln -s /usr/lib64/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.gnome.chrome_gnome_shell.json "${HOME}/.zen/native-messaging-hosts/org.gnome.chrome_gnome_shell.json"
fi

export MOZ_APP_LAUNCHER="$0"

exec /opt/zen-browser-bin/zen-bin "$@"

Also could you add this optional dependencies to the PKGBUILD plasma-browser-integration and gnome-browser-connector. Courtesy: https://github.com/ArchitektApx/zen-browser-copr

O navegador deixou de interagir com o caffeine sabem dizer o porque?

I had an issue with blank Zen window on Wayland on 1.18.1b-1

For me it was wayland related flags: widget.wayland.fractional-scale.enabled=false widget.wayland.opaque-region.enabled=false

it was fine on previous versions and there is a regress in current version

Did some more testing this morning after deleting all my .zen configuration files. On 2nd launch I was able to get an interface where the menu were hidden. I then went into settings > Look and Feel and reset the interface. This stopped the menus and navigation from collapsing.

I decided to re-configure my web browser from scratch (and not use my existing configuration).

This might be the bug we are hitting: https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/issues/11999

@Panfox, thank you for sharing your testing.

As @kagetora13 said updating to 1.18b from 1.17.15b caused the browser to not display anything at first only the popup about new window sync feature

But first thing I discovered is that the browser does work it just doesn't display anything at first when you launch it (if you right click it shows the little menu)

Second thing I discovered is that when you launch a second window (instance) it suddenly starts to work and display normally but it cleared all my saved pins and spaces (could just be on my side but you should back up profile before trying to update)

(My CPU is Intel i7-8650U and integrated GPU) I'm not going to file an issue on github yet (since I didn't research the issue enough)

After I updated to the zen-browser-bin 1.18b-1 package from 1.17b Zen browser launches with a warming (ESC or Enter) that tabs will be synced with other devices.

After this Zen just shows a blank screen.

I did try renaming the .zen directory and no change. Blank window hung with no controls.

I also using 'zen-browser --jsconsole' where I have renamed .zen directory which shows a developer console and a browser window with all controls hidden.

So this application is just broken now. If you can say at 1.17, I would wait there. IT would be could for the AUR package owner to roll this package back.

hi, after zen-browser 1.17.3b, it bumps firefox version to 146, which is not required ffmpeg4.4 (change it to ffmpeg), please update it, thanks!

@DoubleCat

Thanks a lot! that worked!!
