  • Not all dependencies are documented (asar).
  • Some of the steps are duplicated in the shell scripts.
  • It may build an amd64 (not i386) version on 64-bit computers, same with ARM.

While admirable, I think this might need some work

apt install -yq will silence output and answer yes to questions

All my built packages turned out to be the same size (which is why I'm sure it's not built real i386 or armv7l)

All this said, I was able to alter a few instructions to get this to build for several machines, so thank you.

There must be a better way? I'll follow the instructions again on an i386 vm and a raspberry pi so that I can keep a local repo for my local LUG which runs coder dojo like events

the last step for 64bit deb create a file named:

instead of
/tmp/scratch-desktop_3.6.0_amd64.deb

I have two PC, both with 4 GB of RAM and a 64 bit OS. One has Ubuntu 18.04 and the other has a Debian 9.
On Debian start and work well, on Ubuntu I got the cyan windows with Starting Scratch, then it become a white window forever, and on the console I got an OOM error:
`
efa@02cor2130:~$ scratch-desktop

[8118:1228/163027.861206:FATAL:memory_linux.cc(36)] Out of memory.
`
I think the free memory is enought:
efa@02cor2130:~/dLoad/scratch$ cat /proc/meminfo | grep ^Me
MemTotal: 3839840 kB
MemFree: 1671344 kB
MemAvailable: 2361824 kB
How much is the needed memory by Scratch 3.6 ?

efa commented Dec 30, 2019

solved, it was the overcommit. Probably Scratch 3.6 is one of the bad application that try to allocate much more memory that it use. If the overcommit is enabled it work, if overcommit is disabled for predictability it fail with OOM. Scratch 1.4 was not that bad and run also with overcommit disabled

Hi @lyshie, I'm unsure what that is supposed to show. Of course the file picker works, it's the loading, after accepting which I notice is blank here

I can try a new build this week, see if that fixes

SOLVED

Mine arch is:
uname -m

aarch64

and I have some problem installing it (scratch)

I put aarch64 in /tmp/config-deb.json then make the package and no errors are show.

but when I try to install:

Wrong architecture 'aarch64' -- Run dpkg --add-architecture to add it and update afterwards

so I do:
sudo dpkg --add-architecture aarch64

and it show an error

pkg-config-dpkghook: Avviso: Architecture aarch64 not defined in architecture tables, ignored

can anyone help me?
best regards.
P.S. sudo dpkg --add-architecture aarch64 is a bad idea: I remove it

I solved by myself.
I put in /tmp/config-deb.json arm64 instead aarch64
remove all file build on previous try
download the last exe
and all go right

When running "/tmp/scratch-desktop/scratch-desktop" I get the following error: [17853:1007/172314.266423:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /tmp/scratch-desktop/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

Dear Sirs,
After one year, I try to remake a new SCRATCH64bit.DEB for Linux.
From LINUX MINT 20.1 (Ubuntu 20.1) 64bit., I used the .sh script file I used in the past...
I just changed the version of scratch, but the command:

wget -O /tmp/scratch-desktop.exe 'https://downloads.scratch.mit.edu/desktop/Scratch%20Desktop%20Setup%VERSIONNUMBER.exe'

Is no more valid. So **I downloaded manually the .exe and and put in /temp the "scratch-desktop.exe" file. the .DEB was created, about 207Mbyte. the installation of .deb works, the menu icon is created but Scatch doesn't start!

From terminal:

`
linux@Mint201:~$ scratch-desktop
internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:586
throw err;
^

Error: Cannot find module '/usr/lib/scratch-desktop/resources/electron.asar/browser/init.js'

I managed to run the latest version of Scratch on the latest Debian Buster by doing the following:

  1. When I followed the deb (amd64) instructions, I get a chrome-sandbox error. This should be fixed by executing: chmod 4755 chrome-sandbox as root.
  2. Then after this, I got stuck with the Scratch is loading... screen. After A LOT of investigation, I solved the problem as follows:
  • Go to directory resources/app
  • vim main.js
  • find nodeIntegration: true
  • after true add: ,\n contextIsolation: false\n
  • save and run scratch-desktop

Hope this helps someone!

Thanks a lot @bert003! In my case, to modify the file I had to first unpack the app.asar file (also in resources/). I did

  • npm install asar
  • asar extract app.asar modif
  • edit the file modif/main.js
  • asar pack modif app.asar

And then it works.

Dear Sirs,

I have followed the procedure and I obtained a working .deb installation file using the latest verison "Scratch-desktop v3.26.0"
After installed into Linux Mint 20.3 MATE 64bit, I have the ""SCRATCH IS LOADING" screen..
Then I try to modify the main.js
I had problem installing via terminal, of "npm install asar", so I used SNAP to install asar...

sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/nosnap.pref && sudo apt update && sudo snap install asar --classic

after that,
cd /lib/scratch-desktop/resources sudo asar extract app.asar modif cd modif sudo nano main.js (and into the line "nodeIntegration: true" I changed it nto: "true,\n contextIsolation: false\n") cd .. sudo asar pack modif app.asar
Now If I launch Scratch, NO screen appear, anche the program close without showimg the Scratch windows (this is differemt from the starting issue with freezing screen "SCRATCH IS LOADING" )

Try to start Scratch via terminal, I obtain:

linux@Mint:/lib/scratch-desktop/resources$ /usr/lib/scratch-desktop/electron "/usr/lib/scratch-desktop/Scratch-desktop"
A JavaScript error occurred in the main process Uncaught Exception: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier at Object.call (/usr/lib/scratch-desktop/resources/app.asar/main.js:1323:181) at e (/usr/lib/scratch-desktop/resources/app.asar/webpack:/webpack/bootstrap:25:22) at Object.call (/usr/lib/scratch-desktop/resources/app.asar/main.js:1328:97) at __webpack_require__ (/usr/lib/scratch-desktop/resources/app.asar/webpack:/webpack/bootstrap:25:22) at module.exports../node_modules/ajv/lib/ajv.js (/usr/lib/scratch-desktop/resources/app.asar/webpack:/webpack/bootstrap:96:10) at Object.<anonymous> (/usr/lib/scratch-desktop/resources/app.asar/main.js:1:1052) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1116:14) at Object.Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1169:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:988:32) at Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:829:12) libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null) [2870:0122/203824.204885:ERROR:viz_main_impl.cc(161)] Exiting GPU process due to errors during initialization libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null) [2886:0122/203824.280940:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(376)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.

Seems that the ASAR procedure to modify the file main.js has broke someting...Is it possible to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance for your job!
