Switching back to the system electron because of reported issues with the packaged electron. Also, fixed pkgver issue.

Build options by setting environment variables (or editing pkgbuild):

  • _system_electron=false – Use the packaged electron
  • _electron_version=29 – Use a specific system electron version (when default version has problems)
    • Or edit /usr/bin/beeper after install.
  • _install_path=usr/lib – Use a different install path. Default is opt. (Do not include leading / and trailing /beeper.)

This is a self-updating package. It always downloads the latest available AppImage and applies the correct version number.

Please wait until over a month has passed since the last update before requesting version bumps.

The pkgver function is returning an invalid version at the moment, being the full name of the beeper appimage. Can we change the filtering so that this gets fixed? Thanks

I had been using AppImage(from beeper.com/download) itself, but it stopped working(only grey window) from this afternoon. I reported this to Beeper, but they do not understand what the problem is. The one I talked to on Beeper.com, might not know what AppImage is. He or she told me to reinstall Beeper Desktop. (How do I REINSTALL the AppImage?)

After that, I've found this AUR package, then tried makepkg. However, it was the same. Then, I tried _system_electron=true makepkg, problem solved. Beeper is back!

Thank you guys!

I don't have Nvidia GPU, but tried with LTS kernel and awesome wm with no crash.

Switched to the prepackaged electron. People who prefer the system electron can make this with: _system_electron=true makepkg

@xiota

kernel: 6.6.28-1-lts X11 with awesomevm (with sddm) nvidia-lts on 1060 Ti i5-8600K CPU

@v3d I'll revise to either use the prepackaged or older system electron. Can you tell me more about your setup. X11/wayland, desktop environment, processor, gpu?

Is it possible to unflag a package? If so, please do, it says its out of date on my terminal lol.

After looking into it a bit more. I believe it is matrix synapse with many bridges enabled. The linux desktop is a themed version of element desktop. I'm not sure about the mobile apps.

Very odd, judging by their github page, their entire backend is open and self hostable, down to the version of rancher they use for kubernetes. But the mobile apps arent open source? Basically the complete opposite of telegram.
