@patrickjaja copy from where to where?

@fieldnote-echo @papa33 Thanks for the report & sorry for breaking the installation. This one is hard to be covered by my pipeline (i have worked on further wayland support this included to rename the electron binary for the process it spawns and proper permission delegation).

I could reproduce it locally, but it's happening when /home is on a separate filesystem (btrfs subvolume or different partition). Hard links can't cross filesystem boundaries.

As suggested, cp is a better solution and it's implemented.

Feel free to try it again, feedback is very much appreciated (on my system everything is on the same partition).

File "/usr/lib/claude-desktop-bin/com.anthropic.claude-desktop" from package "claude-desktop-bin" is missing dependency "libffmpeg.so"

thanks thisischrys, fallback to cp is the better solution

Build fails with Invalid cross-device link on systems where /home is on a separate filesystem or btrfs subvolume from / (CachyOS default, among others), because line 52 of the PKGBUILD uses a hard link: ln "$electron_bin" "$pkgdir/usr/lib/$pkgname/com.anthropic.claude-desktop" Changing this to ln -sf makes it a symlink and fixes the build without affecting same-filesystem setups. Happy to submit a patch if useful.

@skint007 Thanks, for the note. Its fixed!

Bash validation step was added to CI/CD Pipeline, issues like that will be prevented in the future.

After updating I had an issue where the /usr/bin/claude-desktop file had 2 spaces at the first line, making it not launch from the desktop file.

  #!/usr/bin/env bash

So the fix is to remove the spaces and it works fine

Anthropic added a "teach" tool to computer use. The MCP is back and now linux compatible.

Also x11 & wayland compatibility was improved (https://github.com/patrickjaja/claude-desktop-bin/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#2026-03-27-v119134).
