possible packaging issue with Arch's Community repo element-desktop

I posted a bug report and a dev said, " I think this would be one for the arch package maintainers: the Arch package is an unofficial, 3rd party package."

Cannot find module './i18n/strings/en-us.json · Issue #21754 · vector-im/element-web

I'm running element-desktop 1.10.8-2 (https://archlinux.org/packages/communit … t-desktop/) on Arch Linux KDE. System is fully updated as of today.

I launched element-desktop in Konsole like this:

/usr/lib/electron17/electron /usr/lib/element/app.asar

    I see the following output in the console:

    /home/user/.config/Element exists: yes

Fix your post. You've been around long enough to know code tags are required.

Re: possible packaging issue with Arch's Community repo element-desktop

There's en_US.json and en_EN.json - "en-us" isn't a valid locale to begin with.

localectl
locale
locale -a

Maybe that first dev who replied and blamed it on Arch packagers was mistaken. See this discussion in the comments: https://github.com/vector-im/element-web/issues/19218

Re: possible packaging issue with Arch's Community repo element-desktop

I know of two issues with Element that seem to be specific to Arch Linux and are affecting me.

[Bug]: electron17 17.4.0-1 dumping core (with Element Desktop app) on Arch Linux · Issue #33695 · electron/electron

Random SIGTRAPs in DecommitSystemPages on Arch Linux · Issue #20926 · vector-im/element-web

This issue is being worked on, so if anyone has anything to report it would help.

This third issue is also affecting me.

Hovering over the message reply/options will sometimes cause Element to become unresponsive. · Issue #21755 · vector-im/element-web

duplicate of:
spinning at 100% cpu, flickering mouse cursor · Issue #21147 · vector-im/element-web

This one should be resolved when Electron19 is released.

From my comment in that issue:

[Four] days ago I replaced Element Desktop with SchildiChat Desktop version: 1.10.4-sc.1 and so far I have not experienced either issue mentioned above, even with message search enabled.

SchildiChat has all the features of Element, so this has been a good solution for me.

I'm running AUR (en) - schildichat-desktop-bin
