Looks like the sha512sum is incorrect? Installation was failing so I downloaded the package from the Looking Glass site and ran a sha512 manually and got 8b7a4b6d33380299512bef103331635c9e9855ae0712cbe4d9ccbec2c2499c77318502aa3e0259451ef32c414ef5c8fbc103513bcd924570097dd866934cbe10.

Modifying the PKGBUILD to this SHA value enabled the build to work.

The DKMS module reports error exit 10, for linux-xanmod-edge kernel, but works with my other kernels. Is there a way to fix this?

Oh, my bad. When I first tried to install obs-plugin-looking-glass there was a conflict warning somewhere so I thought that installing looking-glass had already installed all 4 packages by itself. Thanks for the info.

@Swamp: Did you install the OBS plugin package? If you use this PKGBUILD as-is, it will result in 4 separate packages you can install; the client application, the DKMS modules, the host application and the OBS plugin.

I'm not sure if it's my mistake but liblooking-glass-obs.so isn't being installed to /usr/lib/obs-plugins I copied it manually from the cache after building.

Thanks for not blindly updating the hash like many others would have. I just compared the two tarballs, they seem to be identical except for timestamp differences, weird.

I no longer had the other artifact so instead I've compared the original git repository with the release artifact and looks like everything is good. VERSION file seems to be the only changed thing as of the July artifact.

Will update the checksums later.

The upstream file has changed as of this month (July) apparently. I'm not sure why so my initial gut reaction is to not just blindly update things, especially since the site page itself does not mention a newly packaged date/upload for it.

With a bit of luck I might have the previous build artifacts still somewhere so I can make a comparison.

Unfortunately getting a failure with the hash check on that tarball:
