Unable to run Tusk after AUR installation

[lelelemonade]

on arch linux i install from aur,but it just do not launch,here is what happen

Same here. I had issue with missing libnode.so.
Literally

tusk: error while loading shared libraries: libnode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Apparently, in Electron 4.0.0 and newer, there should be none, according to this thread.
After I did export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gitkraken/, for there the file is located, I received the same message as described by @lelelemonade.

Downloading a binary from here enables me to run the application once again.

Same here, it happened after upgrading electron to electron-4.1.1-2 on archlinux.

Exactly the same problem here...

IS there any workaround?

@piedrok, here.

Downloading a binary from here enables me to run the application once again.

Please download the RMP binaries from the latest GitHub release, since the AUR repository is not officially maintained or supported and the readme reference to it will be removed as soon as possible.

[chiboreache]

But why?

AUR is just an install script for exact the same RPM bin's

[azisaka]

The problem is the electron version used to compile the source code. Tusk requires 3.x and Archlinux offers the 4.x. The 4.x doesn't support linking to libnode.so.

[azisaka]

To make it installable on Archlinux I've created the PKGBUILD

pkgname=tusk
pkgver=0.22.0
pkgrel=20190422
pkgdesc="Refined Evernote desktop app"
arch=('x86_64')
url="https://github.com/klaussinani/tusk"
license=('MIT')
makedepends=('rpmextract')
source=(
    "https://github.com/klaussinani/tusk/releases/download/v$pkgver/tusk-$pkgver.$arch.rpm"
)
md5sums=(
    '4bfc35758359ba20de328758b94e7341'
)

build() {
    rpmextract.sh tusk-$pkgver.$arch.rpm
}

package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/opt/Tusk"

  install -Dm644 -t "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/${pkgname}" ./*.pak ./*.dat ./*.bin ./*.so
  install -Dm644 -t "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/${pkgname}/locales" ./locales/*
  install -Dm644 -t "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/${pkgname}/resources" ./resources/*
  install -Dm755 -t "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/${pkgname}" ./${pkgname}

  install -dm755 "${pkgdir}/usr/bin"
  ln -sf "/usr/lib/${pkgname}/${pkgname}" "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/${pkgname}"

  install -Dm644 "${srcdir}/${pkgname}.desktop" "${pkgdir}/usr/share/applications/${pkgname}.desktop"
}

And the new tusk.desktop file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Tusk
Comment=Refined Evernote desktop app
Exec="/usr/bin/tusk" %U
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Icon=tusk
Categories=Productivity;

Just create a directory somewhere called tusk and put the PKGBUILD inside it. Then create the src directory and put the tusk.desktop file there.

Run the following:

makepkg -g
makepkg
sudo pacman -U tusk-0.22.0-20190422-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Now you have the binary available in an Archlinux fashion.

@azisaka
or much easier - just use functionality of aur wrapper, and edit PKGBUILD after -S tusk

worked like a charm, thanks!
