Is this package different from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claude-desktop-bin ?

Isnt this duplication of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/claude-desktop-bin? What's the reason for duplicating? Some issues with claude-desktop-bin package?

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/desktop-linux is live - we now have official beta support for claude-desktop on linux by anthropic (Ubuntu 22.04+ and Debian 12+).

this means we'll switch from the windows MSIX upstream to the official .deb. beside that we remove complexity (i.e. the claude-cowork-service dependency). please give us a moment to make the official .deb compatible with arch.

@apaur thats strange to hear and we need to fix that. but first: "tray-icon.png" is not in use, its using /usr/lib/claude-desktop-bin/resources/locales/TrayIconTemplate-Dark.png statically.

Maybe thats the issue you describe (that its a white icon on a white tray?). i assume that because the "TrayIconTemplate.png" in your cp command is the black one. Can you confirm?

Tray icon missing after update (again)

After updating, the tray icon disappears — same issue as the previous version. Fix:

sudo cp /usr/lib/claude-desktop-bin/resources/locales/TrayIconTemplate.png /usr/lib/claude-desktop-bin/resources/tray-icon.png

@patrickjaja This needs to be re-run after every (recent) update since the copy gets overwritten. Might be worth adding a post_install/post_upgrade hook to the PKGBUILD.

Also, super grateful for you maintaining this!! Keep up the great work <3

@enghausen thanks for your help, this makes me calm again. I had to do lot of infrastructure changes and was very worried when seeing breaking installations. Great you also catched the GlobalShortcuts electron (40.6.1+) fix.

@patrickjaja Updated to -6, works perfectly. Bundled electron 41 launches without issues and the global shortcuts prompt now appears as expected. Nice fix, thanks for the quick turnaround.

@enghausen do you mind to update to -6 and report back?

enghausen commented on 2026-04-18 09:47 (UTC)

Same issue as @papa33. After installing 1.3109.0-5, claude-desktop exits silently. Running the binary directly shows missing libffmpeg.so, then missing icudtl.dat, and several other electron runtime files. What fixed it for me was removing the bundled binary (com.anthropic.claude-desktop) so the launcher falls back to system electron. Not sure if that's the right fix, but it works.

@asm0dey i was referencing this copy command

https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=claude-desktop-bin#n49

cp "$electron_bin" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname/com.anthropic.claude-desktop"

But since https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/electron/ is outdated and missing wayland fixes, i like to bundle electron (as doing for .deb / .rpm) (less complexity)
