Welcome to XLibre on Arch Linux!

[callmetango]

We welcome anyone interested in running or packaging XLibre on/for Arch Linux and its derivatives like CachyOS, EndeavourOS, Garuda Linux, Manjaro Linux, SteamOS, etc. There are already two solutions:

XLibre x86_64 binary packages for Arch-based systems

@artist4xlibre created and maintains the Arch x86_64 binary packages - x11libre.net repository for Arch Linux x86_64 based distributions. This is the easiest and recommended method to install XLibre packages on Arch Linux x86_64. You may want to see the README over there for the first steps.

If you are already set up, then please have a look at the existing discussions. Your question may have been answered by now. 😉 If not, then please feel free to create a new discussion here in this category.

Please report any issues with this repository at Issues · X11Libre/pkgbuilds-arch-based.

XLibre PGKBUILDs in the Arch User Repository (AUR)

@artist4xlibre also created and maintains PGKBUILDs for XLibre - AUR together with vitaliikuzhdin over at the Arch User Repository (AUR). You may want to start at xlibre-server - AUR. A little further down the page you will find instructions in the pinned comment on how to get things going and a discussion to help each other.

There are also prebuilt x86_64 binary packages - AUR mirroring the above mentioned [Arch x86_64 binary packages - x11libre.net] repository.

A side note: Please comment on this pinned discussion here only if it is necessary to add or change some aspects of it.

Will the binary packages stored on https://x11libre.net/repo/arch_based/x86_64 be updated to include the new 25.2 update?

I second this......why is this kept out of date? It would be nice to have the latest available to arch linux users.

We are receiving invalid PGP errors on update with this repo now. Has the method of installing xlibre for arch users changed?

I had the same problem. After running the commands to add the signing key, it works again. You can find the instructions here: https://github.com/xlibre-arch/xlibre-arch#installing-the-x86_64-binary-packages

If you just want the commands:

curl -O https://xlibre-arch.github.io/xlibre-archlinux.asc
sudo pacman-key --add xlibre-archlinux.asc
sudo pacman-key --finger B97F7C613F359424
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key B97F7C613F359424

Ahh, the keys must have changed. Thanks for the information.
