Arch Linux User Repository

in the bottles AURweb page is mentioned that having python-argparse installed will fail the build of bottles

~~~Confirm it fails to build using makepkg but it work using devtools, I've uploaded the build package here https://sourceforge.net/projects/fabiololix-os-archive/files/Packages/ since building with devtools require a local repo for the other aur dependencies~~~

Anyone is able to change execution directory? Clicking on the icon to open the file manager does nothing to me.

Kind of annoying that the devs only support flatpak, so I can't even bother to report a bug against git upstream because they'll just close it lol

Using dbus-monitor, I can see a dbus call to vfs erroring out with "The specified location is not mounted" when I click the icon.

python-chardet is required for this application to run. I didn't test removing python-charset-normalizer from the PKGBUILD.

I repeat for clarity, python-chardet is required to run bottles at the moment.

@RAMChYLD .. don't pip install system-wide yourself. That's pacman's role.

@RAMChYLD that python modules exist as pkgbuilds on the AUR, exactly with that name. When a major python update happen (3.10 -> 3.11) you need to rebuild all the python AUR pkgbuilds you're using.

@joelbacal in the bottles AURweb page is mentioned that having python-argparse installed will fail the build of bottles

@costor can't confirm

Latest version seems to require the following python packages to run:

• patool

• fvs

• vkbasalt-cli

Installing these via pip solves the issue.

Hi Fabio, first of all thanks for your iniciative, my computer is a little bit old and running flatpaks take some time to start in comparation with a direct installation , so I installed many packages from AUR repository that are much faster.

I'm trying to install your bottles package on my PC, but I get this message during compilation.

[53/55] Generating bottles/frontend/ui/bottles_gresource with a custom command FAILED: bottles/frontend/ui/bottles.gresource /usr/bin/glib-compile-resources ../bottles/frontend/ui/bottles.gresource.xml --sourcedir bottles/frontend/ui --sourcedir ../bottles/frontend/ui --internal --generate --target bottles/frontend/ui/bottles.gresource --dependency-file bottles/frontend/ui/bottles.gresource.d ../bottles/frontend/ui/bottles.gresource.xml: Falló al buscar «window.ui» en cualquier carpeta fuente.

I'm using Manjaro KDE with AUR repositories enabled. I've installed base-devel and another dependencies to get Aur installation working.

Thanks in advance andd regards from Peru

Latest version (51.5) now requires python-charset-normalizer to run.

I have some problem with my NAS so can't build new packages (my local repo is down)

@ewout @Hakkaten added python-pathvalidate

Please revert the development build flag. A -devel package would be better suited.

@ewout No. It build the master/main branch and is a cosmetic thing, from https://github.com/bottlesdevs/Bottles/wiki/Packaging "If your package is based on our git repository and is ahead of the current release, please compile Bottles with the -Ddevel=true option to add development decoration to the window."

@Hakkaten using exclamation marks is annoying

Please revert the development build flag. A -devel package would be better suited.
