I use paru but I have to manually intervene for this. Clone the package locally and generate the hasshes for remote source and build.

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/freedownloadmanager.git

makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD && makepkg -si

Can we get the checksum error fixed please? OR remove the check all together?

Hi , I want to mention I run it and It's totaly good. just the .desktop file point to wrong dir for the icon. two way to solve this:

  1. Rename and move the icon file /opt/freedownloadmanager/icon.png to /usr/share/icons/hicolor/256x256/apps/freedownloadmanager.png

  2. edit the .desktop file which in this case located in /usr/share/applications/freedownloadmanager.desktop which line contain icon=freedownloadmanager become icon=/opt/freedownloadmanager/icon.png

thank you

Hi, just a notice that sha256sum is broken again today.

@rizwan486,

I think gst-plugins-base should be added as a dependency. The following error occurs (while launching the application) without it:

QSqlQuery::value: not positioned on a valid record
could not load multimedia backend "gstreamer"
QtMultimedia is not currently supported on this platform or compiler.

To address the sha256sum issue, you have two options:

  • You can bypass the integrity check:
yay -S freedownloadmanager --mflags --skipinteg
  • Alternatively, you can update the sha256sum in the PKGBUILD file:
cd ~/.cache/yay/freedownloadmanager/
sha256sum freedownloadmanager.deb | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -I{} sed -i 's/sha256sums=(".*")/sha256sums=("{}")/' PKGBUILD
makepkg -si

anyone encountered ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!, just remove package .cache folder from AUR helper like yay or paru.

@RAMChYLD sha256sum along with the version is updated now.

Also having issues with the sha256sum. I think the problem here is that the developers of FDM updates the package with a newer version but does not put the package version in the package filename but instead overrides it with a new version of the package (this is bad practice). This create problems when the package is updated and the sha256sum changes. There are ways to make makepkg ignore the checksum but unless you are building from git this is not recommended, especially given the software's history mentioned below.
