I was hoping someone would be interested in picking up maintaining the Sendanywhere package. The Chrome plugin is ok, but the app is better. I cannot install it on a new installation from the AUR anymore due to build errors and I'm not in the knowledge of creating/maintaining an AUR package. This is a very cool Android app and desktop app that has much more power than Superbeam. Here's the link to the AUR package:



And a link to the Send Anywhere Downloads section where they have a compiled .deb installer for Ubuntu:

-anywhere.com/file-transfer


The binary had changed location so chrpath fails. The pkgver generated contained a - so that fails both fixed.

The license file formally at usr/share/doc/sendanywhere/copyright is missing left unfixed, control claims the license is ISC but not independently verified.

package function should probably be reworked.

I like it's simplicity. My go to app for my own wireless phone-desktop transfers was Superbeam. Unfortunately hat project is no longer being developed and I'm having problems on Android 8.1. So I came across SendAnywhere as a replacement. What I like about Superbeam is how simple it is. Install the app, install the desktop client, and any file you drag into, it a QR code is generated and you read the code with the app on your phone and it sends the file. No typing, nothing, done. Same thing from phone to computer (if you have a camera), if you don't have a camera it's a simple 6 digit code. This program SendAnywhere does the same thing the Superbeam does plus adds the ability to share your links with other people. I did not look into the source code, but my initial understanding was that it did not have access to your files, only your sharing links (if you generated any). Thanks for pointing that info out, I may need to look for some other alternatives.


Original AUR maintainer here (and don't shout at me for the allegedly *dreadful* PKGBUILD).

Since I no longer use sendanywhere, I have no interest in fixing the PKGBUILD everytime it breaks (apparently estmob does not have any interest in maintaining it either last time I asked).


With the four tools above you can create your own sendanywhere package from the scratch - almost automagically.

Some user intervention maybe needed at times.

You wouldn't even have to use the current AUR PKGBUILD! Good luck!


Our updated SendAnywhere AUR package is working and that's great. Thanks again for getting this for us. A bit off topic, but now that I've tried so many alternatives I've found SendAnywhere to perform slowly on transfers compared to other programs and it also doesn't seem to transfer folders properly (it'll send the files within the folder, but not the folders themselves). I've been doing a lot of testing with EasyJoin, and I'm really enjoying this program. I think this may interest some of you here and the possibility of someone creating an AUR package would be really nice. I don't want to change the direction of this thread, but figured I'd throw it out there. Here's EasyJoin's Linux site:


Which method should I use to make sure a program is completely deleted? The first instructions make me a bit scared that it is installed all over the place. Why doesn't all installed software come up in 'ubuntu software center'? Is there not one place where I can delete a program like in windows' add/remove programs?






I am using Ubuntu 18.10. Sometimes, when some program has just crashed, a window pops up saying the following:"Sorry, Ubuntu 18.10 has experienced an internal error. Send problem report to the developers?"Then there are three buttons: "Show details", "Don't send" and "Send".


If I click "Show details" then it does show details nicely, for example that "gjs-console crashed with SIGABRT" and lots of other info. It seems like a good idea to send this to the developers, so I click "Send". Then the window is closed. I do not get any confirmation that anything was actually sent. I would have liked to get some confirmation like "OK, problem report sent successfully" or something but there is no such confirmation so I am a little worried that something went wrong when I clicked the "Send" button.
