Getting Soulseek to work

Support AUR
1

Hi there, first i tried to run the AppImage that is available on their site but it gives an SElinux library error.
Then i tried install SElinux through AUR but it failed building at the end.
How can i get this to work?

The only Soulseek client I know of with much development is Nicotine +. The recent stable version is available in the repos as nicotine+ and the development version is in the AUR as nicotine-plus-git.

In Pamac i only see nicotine-plus. I installed it and it does not open.
Where can i find the stable version?

It turns out nicotine was renamed to nicotine+ in the repos. It still should have come up searching for nicotine, though.

What’s the output running nicotine from the terminal?

What is your locale set to? You can find out by running locale from the terminal.

Something is wrong with your locale settings, but I’m not sure what.

I suggest creating a new topic in #support about it.

I have English as display language and German for formats, but it is on purpose.

The problematic part is LC_ALL has no value.

Again, this line of troubleshooting is off topic now for this thread and a new one should be created about it.

OK, thank you for your time.

You might want to try updating nicotine-plus-git as a new commit was added that may resolve the error you had:

I already have my locale setting correct, and nicotine running. Thanks anyway.
