Arch Linux User Repository

I get this error when trying to update:

==> Error: Could not find all required packages: electron>=3.0.10 electron<4.0.0 (Wanted by: deezer)

What can I do?

I haven't been able to run it after the electron update and even the last update of deezer was the same. Only thing that works is downgrading electron if anyone is having the same problem. Might be helpful.

Why < 4.0.0 when 4.1.4 is known to work?

@nCrazed from my own research I've figured out that app was tested for running on electron 3.x

I'm not sure what will happen if I will change PKGBUILD to stick to electron 3.x.

Lets find out and I will revert if it will break something.

Downgrading to 4.1.4-1 makes it render again, with a lot more noise in the dev console.

@IlyaGulya

$ electron -v
v5.0.6

$ pacman -Qi electron
Name            : electron
Version         : 5.0.6-1
...

@nCrazed can you tell me your electronjs version?

For the last few days, the app refuses to render. This is the case both for the older version that used to work (4.7.2-1) and the newer 4.10.2-1.

Seeing the following 3 entries in the dev console:

newrelicbrowser.js:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: process is not defined

@trantilla Thanks. I've updated the desktop file accordingly

The reason gnome doesn't appear to be reading the included .desktop file seems to be the included NoDisplay=true, which essentially renders the desktop file a MIME associator only. And funnily enough the association is with plain text, which seems silly at least without some deeper insight. :)

So, to make gnome "pick up" the .desktop file for menus and launchers etc. the NoDisplay=true could be deleted. And while at it, the funky-looking MimeType=text/plain; declaration could be deleted as well, in addition to capitalizing the app name as is presented by Deezer itself wherever the name is not brand-stylished. This would leave us with:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Deezer
StartupNotify=true
Icon=/usr/share/deezer/app.ico
Comment=Audio streaming service
Exec=/usr/bin/deezer
Terminal=false
Type=Application
