Issue

Hi, ,when I download the arm64 version of Hyper from both hyper.is and GitHub releases for Linux, and install it using dpkg, it installs successfully, but when I try to run it from both the command line and the activities menu on Ubuntu, it doesn't open any windows.

When I did hyper -v, when I received the output of

innerError Error: Cannot find module '../build/Debug/pty.node'

I would really like to use Hyper, but due to this I am unable to use it at all.

I have the exact same issue. Installed Ubuntu 22.04 (ARM64) with parallels. Tried also the latest Version 4 Canary - same error message.

[LabhanshAgrawal]

Yeah, there's issues with arm64 builds on github actions, I've recently got an arm64 device to use as host for our github actions, it might take some time, but should be fixed soon. You can try to build on your device if you want something immediate.

[mokshsinghji]

Hey Labhansh,

I tried to build it myself at the time when I created this issue, and I believe I was getting a similar error about Pty. Maybe not available for arm? 🤷‍♀️

[LabhanshAgrawal]

Yeah, I remember something similar from when I was trying this last time on qemu, but I think there was some workaround. Will know for sure once I get my hands on the arm device I've ordered.

same error on NVIDIA Orin

[LabhanshAgrawal]

can you guys please try this appimage build https://github.com/LabhanshAgrawal/hyper/actions/runs/5177593536#artifacts
and comment if it works for you

[randyg3000]

I installed via deb at the link you provided, and it does seem to be up and working. Have not tested anything extensively, or used any plugins but this looks good- thanks!

[randyg3000]

Was able to modify fontSize and fontFamily by editing ~/.config/Hyper/hyper.json (as opposed to ~/.hyper.js)

We're moving to Json for v4, canary builds are using Json as well. You should be able to open it directly from the preferences menu option and the associated keyboard shortcut (ctrl+shift+, on Linux IIRC)

Hi,

I was just testing it out. Like mentioned before, the deb file is working on my Ubuntu 20.04, however the AppImage build does not seem to work. It fails at some point with this error message: [1] 52105 bus error (core dumped) ./Hyper-4.0.0-canary.3-arm64.AppImage. If I run it many times, it will get as far as to actually open up a window, but causes many errors in the terminal, with the window being just plain black.

I will be happy to answer any further questions 😄

Thanks for the progress and the efforts that are being made so far.

@mokshsinghji Can you launch the AppImage from the default terminal and then paste the logs here?
I'm testing the build on UTM Ubuntu vm, running the AppImage using AppImage Launcher and everything looks fine.
Sadly my rpi clone is not powerful enough to run a desktop environment, so couldn't test it on a real device.

[LabhanshAgrawal]

I've opened #7227 for this
Please try the build from that PR and check if it works for you. (you can find it from the checks section or from the latest comment by github actions bot.)
