@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.

The sha256 checksum for zen-browser-1.19.13b-1-x86_64.tar.xz is failling upon updating the package.

This update was released way too early, the download is still not available.

@rhynzler @qexat

this release is still building in their CI, you have to wait until it's done https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/actions/runs/25806125449

Note for the maintainer, if this package is updated automatically, consider bumping its version after the CI is done.

1.19.13b is a tag, not a release, that's why doesn't exists when downloading https://github.com/zen-browser/desktop/releases/tag/1.19.13b

zen-browser 1.19.13b-1 does not seem to exist. the download results in HTTP 404. the github page shows 1.19.12b-2 as the last release, and other zen-browser packages are also on the version 1.19.12b-2

This doesn't need ffmpeg4.4 anymore. 8.1 works fine.

@Larvey. consider updating the .desktop file with localizations.

I made a localized version here: https://gist.github.com/nixxo/a5de8154f334f55b3154597fc4ef0790 taken from the firefox one.

@xuanhh That was most likely an upstream bug in 1.19.4b. Seems to be fixed in 1.19.5b.

zen-browser show a completely blank window after a fresh install. I've done basically the same thing few days ago and work flawless back then so I suppose that it might be an issue related to today's update? I have no problem launching firefox btw.

What I've done so far: I tried to launch the browser by "env MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 zen-browser" multiple times but the following glibc warning only occur on my first try.

(zen:7998): GLib-CRITICAL **: 20:31:32.542: g_find_program_for_path: assertion 'program != NULL' failed
[Parent 7998, Main Thread] WARNING: g_find_program_for_path: assertion 'program != NULL' failed: 'glib warning', file /home/ubuntu/actions-runner/_work/desktop/desktop/engine/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:201

Apparently, the path /home/ubuntu/... is impossible to exist on archlinux. Therefore, I think maybe the binary on the AUR isn't compile on archlinux in the first place? I have no idea now. Any advise would be appreciated.

@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
