Arch Linux User Repository

can you please switch the repository to ripme2, branch "main", until the original is taken up again for maintenance: https://github.com/ripmeapp2/ripme

fixed the null pointer exception preventing that the GUI shows up here:

• https://github.com/ripmeapp2/ripme/commit/d0dbf9756517dc210f874169bc556f3452cc4f26
• https://github.com/RipMeApp/ripme/issues/1853

ah, yes, the build changed as well slightly. use "./gradlew clean build -x test" now, and the jar files location changed because of the gradle usage to build/libs

There is some initial config problem. If you run it, the GUI will be broken (accessible with a single click on the icon in systray). The terminal output includes the NPE like deadpyxel said.

If you however run https://github.com/RipMeApp/ripme/releases/download/1.7.92/ripme.jar once, it will work.

edit: Trying to rip anything fails though for me.

Is there anything we can do to help make this package work? I don't really understand why so many people(like me) don't get the interface

Did a clean install and also can't get a GUI.

The output when ran in shell is as follows

Loaded file:/usr/share/java/ripme-git-1.7.91.r2.gcd16aaca.jar!/rip.properties
Setting locale to default
Loaded log4j.properties
Initialized ripme v1.7.91

No errors spilled or warnings during install. I installed using yay.

When run directly (with java -jar /usr/share/java/ripme-git-1.7.91.r0.g4248a0fd.jar), this is the output:

Getting key select.save.dir in  value Select Save Directory
Getting key loading.history.from.configuration in  value Loading history from configuration
Loading history from configuration
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
        at com.rarchives.ripme.ui.MainWindow.loadHistory(MainWindow.java:1186)
        at com.rarchives.ripme.ui.MainWindow.<init>(MainWindow.java:186)
        at com.rarchives.ripme.App.main(App.java:89)

My System information would be:

• OS: Archlinux x64
• kernel: 5.5.5-arch1-1
• java --version output: openjdk 13.0.2 2020-01-14

Let me know if there's any debugging information that can help.

Gui does not show with jdk8

Note that I still don't get the GUI when I run it. I think this package needs some more work to be serviceable.

When building I am met with an error:

$ makepkg -s
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com:ripmeapp/ripme/': URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL

I was able to build by reworking the source url:

diff --git i/PKGBUILD w/PKGBUILD

2019/12/08: Made this package require the full JRE instead of the headless one. Headless version can be found in ripme-headless-git.

@MrTimscampi Ok thank you very much. Hope it gets updated to work properly ;) cheers

@Tio: It does. When I took on the package, it already had the depend set to the headless version and, as I use it on a headless machine, I had never even noticed.

The issue is that the headless package doesn't seem to provide the full package, so it means a headless machine would pull the full JRE with GTK, Wayland and all.

I'll need to see what can be done about that in the future.
