Cannot install in Manjaro/Arch linux

[MavropaliasG]

Hi,

When I try to install Tracker-5.1.2-linux-64bit-installer.run in Manjaro KDE, (after doing chmod +x and running it as root) I get the following problem:

There has been an error. Error reading file /root/.config/user-dirs.dirs

I've seen previous users had the same problem, but I failed to implement their solution https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=237150

It would be greatly appreciated if you could give me instructions how to install the software, or submit it to AUR

Thank you for the fantastic software

Can you install an rpm package, e.g. with alien? If yes, you may want to look at https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:NickKolok:osptracker

I'm getting the same issue on Void Linux. My guess is that this should be using XDG? I really have no idea.

I am having the same issue on Ubuntu 20.04. It does not appear that there is an apt or snap package for tracker in the Ubuntu repositories either.

If this is the same problem as motioned in the linked issue, my workaround should work.
