Couldn't start tilix after update

Support AUR
1

After a restart, I could no longer start tilix.

╭─2025-06-16 10:49:49 mani@l0la59 ~
╰─ $ tilix
tilix: error while loading shared libraries: libphobos2-ldc-shared.so.110: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[ble: exit 127]

I was able to solve the problem by reinstalling tilix.

I just wanted to let you know that I had a problem and how I solved it. If anyone else falls over it, the info might be helpful.

I’ve moved your post to a new thread to keep the update announcement clear.

It was flagged because of this statement from the top of the announcement thread.

That may be true, and thank you for trying to help. However if you use the AUR you’re expected to know that AUR packages may need rebuilding after an update.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Updating_packages

EDIT:

You should read the whole page. :arrow_up_small:

Both gtkd and tilix were recently dropped from the repos. So as it seems to depend on an updated lib, if you want to continue using them, then you’ll need to reinstall them from the AUR (as you’ve found out).

Well, the problem arose with the update of the testing package, so I would definitely see a correlation there and a rebuild has never been necessary for me so far. But if such a message is not wanted, that’s fine too. But simply flagging without a reason is only partially helpful, especially not instructive. Then I wouldn’t have reopened it and the issue would have been resolved immediately.

That’s why I moved it here and answered your question. To be clear, I didn’t flag it or deal with the flag.

However upon further inspection, I think the flag was unwarranted as the packages had only just been dropped to the AUR.

@altmuehlmani By the way, I adopted the gtkd package after Arch dropped it to the AUR. I also had been already maintaining the tilix-git package.

Since I was able to rebuild gtkd on ldc 1.41.0 with the help of the Arch community, tilix / tilix-git builds and works for now.

I would have happliy added both packages to the Manjaro repos as Tilix has always been my favorite terminal. However, both aforementioned projects are unmaintained–hence why Arch dropped them to the AUR. GtkD will never see a Gtk 4 port and therefore neither will Tilix.

While Tilix is still technically functional and currently builds, that could change with the next LDC update.

I will be eventually moving to Ghostty once I can’t use Tilix anymore. Yes, it’s in the repos.

Here’s my Ghostty config so far. Mind you, it has great defaults so there shouldn’t be much to change other than your own preferences:

# https://ghostty.org/docs/config/reference

font-family = MesloLGS NF

theme = light:Adwaita,dark:Adwaita Dark

mouse-hide-while-typing = true

background-opacity = 0.85

unfocused-split-opacity = 0.9
